  • Susan Thank you for these films introducing aspects of Hawaii and Hawaiians that I'd otherwise not have known about. It is inspiring to hear and see these stories of people doing what they can, where they are, to honor nature and to share the joy of life with others. last year

  • Wow! This is wonderful! I am a multimedia artist with part of my life‚Äôs work involving media and education around Hawaiian eco systems. Through this I understand the complex and unique natural habitat that exists in the Hawaiian Archipelago. It is like the Galapagos Islands. The culture is rich with storytelling, fiery goddesses and ancestral pride dating back thousands of years. Hawaiians also have a hundred words for lava. Education around Hawaiian eco systems is critical, as we have already destroyed most of it and replaced it with introduced species or buildings. Being a musician, I love the idea of using music as part of this process to reach everyone. It works the mind and the body in a different way than information. Nothing beats experience and so I think the field trips are AWESOME! It takes dedication to do this. Hats off to you Jack! 3 years ago
