For over a hundred years my people have fought a battle for ownership of the rights of native Hawaiian burials in order to keep bones safe from harm. In the late 20th century, my district became the target of developers who sought affordable property on the island. Faced with a powerful, wealthy outsider who threatened to plow through the cave near my home, I found myself in the position of David against my own version of the unconquerable Goliath. I will take viewers on a journey where I learn my identity, heritage, and ultimately my legacy of protecting my family burial cave.
