How Did We Get Here

REISSUE APR 2019. "Six hundred and fifty people that lived there forever were like, 'Where's the water?' . . . My father refused to work for them because he said they stole the water."  We talk joy, half-ass hugs, villages wiped by plantations, making from the land, our mothers' slippahs/changlas, and healing with Hawai'ian master Maile Spencer Napolean. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW DID WE GET HERE flips the migrant story.  Come, here the story of us. Episodes | Guests, Experts, & Storytellers | Contact ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maile Spencer Napolean's family can trace their story on the land back 700 years. Hailing from the Big Island, she stops to talk story during her visits to mainland family--between the bitter cold in Colorado and Oregon this March, before she returns to offer classes on her native Hawai'i. "The old people used to say 'go away and don't bother me.' But my grandmother never did." She shares what family and nature taught her, in the old Hawai'ian ways.

REISSUE APR 2019. Dr. Scott Fisher is the Chief Conservation Officer at the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust. Growing up on Maui, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, later focusing his graduate work on peace studies, with a concentration in native Hawaiian strategies of peacemaking and reconciliation, and the dynamics of post-conflict recovery in a civil war on the island of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. He explored how communities make wise decisions about conflicts over natural resources and continues that work today. We talk building resiliency for climate change, the lessons of the ancestors, and the crossroads of world history here in Hawai'i--all from the Waihe'e Coastal Dunes and Wetlands Refuge on another wind storm day in the North Pacific.
