The month of May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. During the month of May, the Moana Nui Podcast will host four panels to discuss various topics.

The first panel is Priced Out of Paradise - How Hawaiians are Forced Off Their Homeland moderated by Moana.

Hollywood and mainstream media puts out beautiful side of Hawaiʻi as an island paradise. While Hawaiʻi is a wonderful place to live, the natives of this land face a lot of challenges in our own homeland that no one ever sees or talks about. While popular films such as Disneyʻs Moana bring more attention the islands, critics have said that films fail to address the actual lives and challenges that Pacific Islanders and the local communities face. It's not all bad. It's not all good. How do we find balance?

Our Panelists

* Kelly Mackura: Artist and Healer
