overcome with pride, tears now fall from my eyes watching this video. I'd like to thank the 4 of you for doing this exactly the way you did, Thank you...
@Vampelfmaid Ittai has a poem where he talks about the death of a friend and as brilliant and moving is that poem about his friend is gut wrenching. I have never been able to find on youtube but if you find it I promise you that it will stay with you forever.
@richardthewriter I saw an edited version of one on the HBO series 'Russell Simmons Presents Brave New Voice. It dealt with issues of suicide and friendship. Every piece I've seen from the Hawai'i team has been on point.
@Vampelfmaid "I fuckin loved you" that line speaks even more to me now as I had learned of the suicide of my best friend from college (we attended in 96) three summers back - he and I were best friends and like Ittai I say I fucking loved you. Words have so much power and Ittai Wong is just 19 or so. I can only imagine how words will carve out his future and where it will take him. thanks. peace. RIP Curtis Toews. 1974-2007
Jamaica, Thanks for coming to Hilo on New Years 2010 to share with us your poetry. I was happy to have been there with Kumu Hula Maile Yamanaka. Yes, we are listening, Jamaica. The world is listening.
damn, this is awesome. i dont know these two people, but people like this...make me proud to be hawaiian. we gottah remember our roots and carry on the traditions.
Jamaica Osorio speaks on behalf of every ethnicity that have been ethnic cleansed, every nation that has lost their Kingdom, their language, spiritual learning, sustainability values with the land, freedom to make diplomatic relationships, to teach our children who we are and how to love each other. I'd like to see more of Jamaica Osorio like minded Hawaiian learn to build their massive platform for their place of voicing. I am an Ainu. Jamaica Osorio speaks my heart too.
He Hawai`i au, mau a mau.
