This video interview was originally released almost 25 years ago on CD-ROM; finally here it is on the internet:
It’s an “old” interview now, but everything Dr. Trask was fighting for in 2001 has only become even more critically important today. I sincerely hope many people will watch & read the whole thing, and allow themselves to reflect deeply on what she is saying.
We want to send a special thank you to Tim Sakamoto at in-D press for making this project possible, and also for allowing us to re-present these materials online. Kēhaulani Pu'u, Shane Pale, and Healani Sonoda - all ex-students of Haunani-Kay Trask - graciously allowed us to include their commentary. We also want to thank media revolutionaries Joan Lander and Puhipau of Nā Maka o ka ‘Āina, who gave us permission to include the footage of Haunani-Kay Trask’s January 17, 1993 sovereignty speech at ʻIolani Palace. They’ve actually helped us out many times over the years, always so much generosity and kindness.
After working on these January & February projects, I really feel like I’m ready to re-think what it is I should be doing with the last part of my life here on Earth.
