Dr. Kanalu Young on "Voices of Truth"


"Voices of Truth" series this week features Dr. Kanalu Young and Prof. Steven Boggs.

The piece with Dr. Young is premiering on 'Olelo TV this Saturday, and here's the description:
"Hawaiian Superman - A Visit With Dr. Kanalu Young, PhD."

Rarely do we come across an individual as remarkable as Kanalu Young, a quadriplegic and Professor of Hawaiian history at the University of Hawai`i on O`ahu.

If that isn't impressive enough, he's also Director of the Masters Program at Kamakakuokalani, the Center For Hawaiian Studies on campus.

Even though he's currently bed ridden at home under doctor's orders, Kanalu accomplishes more in one day than most. Setting up his bedroom as his office, the world now comes to Kanalu - literally.

He meets on almost a daily basis with dignitaries and educators from all over the world as well as conducting his work for the university - all from his bed.

Of course we went calling on Kanalu, in his office/bedroom, and found an amazing individual indeed who lets absolutely nothing stop him

So if you're looking for a big dose of high inspiration and want to meet a world-class expert at showing us all how to become unstoppable as well as putting our own challenges in perspective, sit down with your entire family and meet Hawai`i's Superman.

For a great discussion of the meaning of the term "Hawaiian" (which I admit I sometimes use rather loosely and with multiple meanings for convenience sake) check out Dr. Young's paper entitled "An Interdisciplinary Study of the Term 'Hawaiian'" (PDF) from the Hawaiian Journal of Law & Politics.
