Kanaka Diaspora Perspectives presented by the Moana Nui Podcast

More than 50% of Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) were "priced out of paradise" and are now living outside of Hawaiʻi. This presents momentous challenges for an ʻāina based community forced to separate from their homeland. 
In this episode, weʻll discuss the benefits and challenges of living in the diaspora and how we can better understand and serve the unique needs of our lāhui no matter where we live.

Which country illegally occupied Hawaiʻi first? Spoiler - itʻs not the United States

The Moana Nui podcast proudly celebrates July 31st as La Ho’iho’i Ea, Sovereignty Restoration Day, a national celebration in the kingdom of Hawai’i.
 
Hawai‘i has long been a strategic point on the global map. Some may know about the illegal occupation by the US in the late 1800s, but even fewer are aware of the first illegal occupation in 1843, by the British.
