PBS, is it possible to continue to conduct interviews with our kūpuna today? These oral interviews are what preserves the legacy of our prominent kanaka ʻōiwi figures. I love these videos!

What a lovely woman she was. I would have never known about her until you introduced her thank you

[@CountofBeretania]

My goodness, what a life! Thank god this was recorded. Imagine meeting Queen Liliʻuokalani regularly as a child and living long enough to tell about it. Absolutely fascinating!

I remember Auntie Alice. She taught me the hula at age four. I had no idea all those years ago what a legend she was. But I knew she was kind inside and out.

She would have been born in 1892. Can you imagine what she witnessed in her long illustrious life? Great singing and good guitar.
