Although the mountain volcano Mauna Kea last erupted around 4000 years ago, it is still hot today, the center of a burning controversy over whether its summit should be used for astronomical observatories or preserved as a cultural landscape sacred to the Hawaiian people. Our informational website offers a wealth of cultural background on the issue.

What’s New
This week’s featured video comes from our archives. Students at Ke’anae, Maui captured beloved kupuna Mary Ann Pahukoa on tape in 1976. This program played on public access back then, but languished on our shelves for the next 36 years. The piece was digitized as part of a pilot project conducted by ‘Ulu’ulu – The Henry Ku’ualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive. We recently remastered it and present it here for your enjoyment.
Stay tuned for more archival footage and programs. You can support our archiving efforts by purchasing our DVDs.
