EP 8 Penny Rawlins Martin on the stewardship lessons that voyaging on the 1976 Hōkūle‘a sailing canoe can teach us

Penny Rawlins Martin is one of the first two kānaka maoli (Native Hawaiian) women to sail as a crew member on the first 1976 voyage of the Hōkūle‘a Hawaiian sailing canoe between Tahiti and Hawai‘i, a 2,500 mile journey of her ancestors. She takes us back to the energy of the 1970s during the Hawaiian renaissance where the language, music, dance, voyages and land-back initiatives were being fought for, revived and uplifted. Penny shares with us her many lessons aboard the canoe, namely care for one another through love of the land and concern for its limited resources--now commonly referred to as aloha ‘āina. She brings these historical, social and environmental perspectives to Moloka‘i students through her work with Papahana Kuaola, a non-profit education organization aiming to connect students to culture, place and history with an eye towards a sustainable future.

New Episode on "Land & People": This week, Clay and I talk to Steven Montgomery, the insect biologist who made a career in Hawai`i working with the nearly invisible over the past 50 years. He's discovered insects like the Hawaiian carnivorous caterpillar and worked closely to document the Hawaiian picture wing flies, creatures found nowhere else in the world.

A breathtaking view of the Sun's reflection on the Pacific Ocean seen from space.

As the U.S. pushed #Native Americans from their lands for westward expansion, museums and the federal government encouraged the looting of #Indigenous remains, funerary objects and cultural items. 30 years since passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, @ProPublica investigates the #failure of federally funded universities and museums to expeditiously return human remains.

“We never ceded or relinquished our dead. They were stolen."

America’s Biggest Museums Fail to Return Native American Human Remains

The remains of more than 100,000 Native Americans are held by prestigious U.S. institutions, despite a 1990 law meant to return them to tribal nations. Here’s how the ancestors were stolen — and how tribes are working to get them back.
