Aloha Quest
Part 2

On Sunday, December 19, 1999, an historic six-hour educational television presentation was broadcast throughout Hawai'i on KFVE television. The "educast" was simultaneously webcast to the world over the Internet. Featuring a mix of live interviews, musical performances, and pre-recorded segments, the entire six hours was brought to the Hawai'i community and the world commercial free.

Co-produced by Aloha First and Na Maka o ka 'Aina, Aloha Quest was hosted by Ed Ka'ahea, Iaukea Bright and Ka'iulani Edens. The telecast featured interviews with many prominent spokespeople in government, law, education and the arts. Various historians, educators, cultural experts, artists, actors and activists shared their knowledge of history and culture and expressed views on the contemporary case for Hawaiian sovereignty and independence.

Historical segments presented new findings regarding the legal basis for the existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the popular opposition to U.S. annexation in 1897-98.

Selected segments from the six-hour broadcast are available as two 1-hour programs, Aloha Quest - Part One and Aloha Quest - Part Two.
