Hawaii - A Voice for Sovereignty is a documentary by photojournalist
Catherine Bauknight that explores the culture and how it relates to the
protection of the land and environment, and the rights of the
indigenous Hawaiians. The land deeds issued to Hawaiians by Royal
Patents versus the same land claimed by developers and plantation
owners since the takeover by the U.S. in 1893 are at the forefront of
this documentary. In rare interviews, native Hawaiians reveal that
their cultural, economic, and social future depends on the resurgence
of their Hawaiian human rights and access to the land owned by them and
their ancestors. The goal of many Hawaiians is to become a sovereign
nation, also stated in the Akaka Bill, and to have access to the lands
that they have been caretakers of for generations. The documentary is
intended to raise awareness of the issues of the native Hawaiians
through international film festival screenings, theatrical releases,
and public television.
