HAWAIKI RISING - a review

From writer Sally-Jo Keala-O-Anuenue Bowman whose books include Heart of Being Hawaiian, Lua: Art of the Hawaiian Warrior (editor), No Footprints in the Sand: A memoir of Kalaupapa.

"What a fine job of isolating the portion of the recovery of our voyaging heritage that remains the key to the rebirth of ourselves as a distinct and viable people. As a journalist, it is always a pleasure for me to rea Read more of this blog post »

Sam Low Michael J. Ambrosino, creator and executive producer of the PBS series - Nova, Odyssey and The Ring of Truth

It is a wonderful book: graceful, exciting, informative, well paced with lively action. You succeeded in the most difficult task. You put me right on the canoe.

The education of Nainoa, with all its complications was a delight. I am with him in his doubts and worries and follow him in joy as he learns to trust himself. Mau comes across as a fully developed character and the difference and similarities with Nainoa made for an interesting story.

You have accomplished a rare thing: an informative, detailed story, told with honor, conviction, humanity and grace.

This book is a gift to all Hawaiians and to all haole as well. Any gift to humanity is a gift to all.
