The more I see and hear about instances involving a desecration of Hawaiian culture, the sadder I feel.
I spent the 1980s on Oahu as a radio journalist. During that time, I learned about Hawaiian culture by minoring in history at college.

Hawaii is a beautiful place! I’m so blessed to have spent time there.
