Kaho’olawe Video Archive

A Hawai‘i People’s Fund grant to Na Maka O Ka ‘Aina helped support the re-mastering and archiving of video documentation of the movement to protect the island of Kaho‘olawe from 1976–1992.

Visit Na Maka’s Hawaiian Voice channel to view clips from the Kaho‘olawe Video Archive. (just click HERE)

Tribute to George Helm and Kimo Mitchell
On March 6, 1982, five years after the disappearance of George Helm and Kimo Mitchell in the seas off the island of Kaho’olawe, the Protect Kaho’olawe ‘Ohana held a tribute to the two men at ‘Iolani Palace in Honolulu.
 
Representatives from the Helm and Mitchell families along with community members, singers and musicians from Kaua’i, Maui, Moloka’i and Hawai’i island joined their O’ahu compatriots in remembering the legacy of George and Kimo and the actions of many others who worked peaceably to stop the U.S. military bombing of Kaho’olawe.

Video of his classroom presentations, musical performances, speeches and interactions with government are supplemented with news stories and location shots of early occupations of Kaho’olawe. Video footage by Kevin Coates, Stephen Morse, KGMB, KHET and Videololo. Edited by Joan Lander. Produced by Ken Yasso.
