Our episode about Hawaiian culture shares with you our wonderful field trip to the National Museum of the American Indian, in Washington DC. Until January of 2017, the NMAI/Smithsonian Museum is holding a special Hawaiian exhibit.
E Mau Ke Ea: The Sovereign Hawaiian Nation
E Mau Ke Ea: The Sovereign Hawaiian Nation takes visitors through the history of the Hawaiian Nation, from the consolidation of the islands by King Kamehameha I in 1810 and the establishment of a society based on law, literacy, and diplomacy; through the undermining of Hawai`i’s independence and its annexation by the United States; to the rise of the Hawaiian rights movement in the late 1960s and the resurgence of Hawaiian nationalism today.
