Demystifying Ruth


The Advertiser has a small piece on the new PBS special on Princess Ruth Ke'elikolani:

While Princess Ruth Ke'elikolani was a staunch defender of Hawaiian language and culture, she has been something of a mystery to students of Hawaiian history.

That could change this month with the premiere of PBS' "Biography Hawaii: Ruth Ke'elikolani," a compelling biographic documentary that fills in many historical blanks in the life of the nonconformist 19th-century chief, who refused to speak English, practice Christianity or leave the Hawaiian Islands.

English- and Hawaiian-language versions of the half-hour documentary will air on PBS on June 9 and 12 (starting at 8 each night). If you can't wait, a free public pre-screening of both versions will be held at 7:30 tonight at the University of Hawai'i- Manoa Art Auditorium.
