Chris is a talented writer and artist. A fluent speaker of Hawaiian, he hails from Waiʻanae on Oʻahuʻs west coast. This poem speaks to Chrisʻ belief that we can govern ourselves, a nation of us, what our kupuna already had. As Chris puts it, we are “many branches, only one trunk.”
Amen man, we need to move past racial hate into an era of lokahi. Only when the nation can emerge will a true Hawaiian nation be possible. Thank you for this message, I’m loving this channel!
Mahalo no for the kind words
