"The primary language at 'Imiloa is Hawaiian..."

In a groundbreaking move, the planners of Hilo's 'Imiloa Astronomy Center made a strategic decision that the primary language would be Hawaiian. Here's a short outtake from an upcoming segment we're producing that takes viewers on a first-hand visit, where Ka'iu Kimura, Cultural Coordinator, speaks about this aspect in the Hawaiian language. Portions of this segment will be broadcast is Hawaiian with English subtitles.

Actually, in what will seem only a heartbeat - Hawaiian wiil transend both English language (. . . as we understand it today) - and surprisingly, Spanish language as well - (even though Spanish has multitudinal support! ) - pehaps soley because enlightned individuals will easily recognize Hawaiian as the "Voice Of The Soul" . . . a supremely important vehicle toward discovering our true identity and puirpose in the 21st Century.
