Ku’e Ku’e: Native Hawaiian Sovereignty

I created this music video in 2004 from photos that I took while researching for 3 months in Hawaii. The video was used in a public lecture entitled Ku’e Ku’e presented at The Evergreen State College as part of an academic program called Islands. I was particularly interested in studying and illuminating the struggles of native Hawaiians towards sovereignty and self-governance. Sites photographed include: University of Hawaii Manoa, The Bishiop Museum, Iolani Palace, Waikiki, North Shore, Merrie Monarch Hula Festival in Hilo, and various other locations on both Oahu and Hawaii (the Big Island)

Requested by my mom. Thanks for teaching me to live my dreams. I instantly fell in love with this song when I first heard it in Hawaii several years back. I even bought a uke so I could learn it lol. IZ’s version will always be the best, but I hope you like my acapella version too. Keep chasing your dreams. =) Del PS. If you notice me laugh, it’s because my mom was in the background reminding me to smile lol. PSS. Hawaii is still my favorite place ever. PSSS. Thanks to MSM for all the help with the video!

Listen to this message straight from the heart of Braddah IZ. On the biggest evening for Hawaiian music, the Makaha Sons decides to join Braddah Iz on stage and ho’oponopono all that had happened in their past.
