​

Tells of a traditionally trained hula dancer and her culture clash with her mother over dancing the sacred hula for a new hotel that opens in the 1930's in Honolulu.  My other Hawaii novels "Kula Keiki Ali'i, Kahuna Nui, An End To Innocence, Kuliano, and Liliha and the Sacred Mission tell the story of Hawaii's journey from a Monarchy to Statehood and beyond.

Kula Keiki Ali'i AUDIOBOOK

 In 1840 the children who would become the last five monarchs of Hawaii were placed in a residential school to be trained by a Hell Fire, Calvinist Missionary whose orders were to take the Hawaiian out of the children by any means necessary.​

 

​

Did they bring the light as modern-day descendants claim or did they extinguish (not quite sucessfully) any Hawaiian nature in these children.  Similar to the residential schools in Canada they were treated without respect or any thought that their ways could be the right way.  For sale on I-tunes store and Audible books.com.

The Great Canadian Adventure:  From Indian Country To Nation State
ISBN-9781500741822

​

Tells the tale of the treatment of Canada's aboriginal people from 1600 to the present day.

​

Did Canada's politicians succeed in "Taking the Indian Out of the Indian" in the brutal Residential Schools fifty percent of the children perished in  or did they (the politicians) as the Truth and Reconciliation Committee Report states commit cultural genocide on their way to seizing the valuable resources in a country that now prides itself on valuing diversity?  This innovative novel is a source for thoughtful consideration of this question. The picture on the cover is of the great poet and orator,  Pauline Johnson's home.
