I mean, it's a it's a you know, 26 00:01:50,653 --> 00:01:54,573 Speaker 3: as you know, you've probably followed as a as a 27 00:01:54,613 --> 00:01:58,653 Speaker 3: storyteller in the screen industry for the last three decades 28 00:01:58,693 --> 00:02:04,093 Speaker 3: at least. You know, we've managed to tell a variation 29 00:02:04,213 --> 00:02:07,133 Speaker 3: of stories from our small corner of the world. But 30 00:02:07,373 --> 00:02:11,733 Speaker 3: you know, this series, when when led by the likes 31 00:02:11,773 --> 00:02:14,333 Speaker 3: of Jason more Moore and his co creator Thomas Parker, 32 00:02:15,573 --> 00:02:18,613 Speaker 3: they can bring scale to the narrative, Like they can 33 00:02:18,693 --> 00:02:24,733 Speaker 3: really recreate the scale and the majesty and the regal 34 00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:28,133 Speaker 3: nature of our ancestry. And they've done an amazing job. 35 00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:29,893 Speaker 3: I'm very, very proud and humbled to be a part 36 00:02:29,893 --> 00:02:32,493 Speaker 3: of it, to be honest, that's big for us. It's 37 00:02:32,493 --> 00:02:33,293 Speaker 3: a big deal for us. 38 00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:36,333 Speaker 2: It is a big deal, and it's such a powerful story. 39 00:02:36,373 --> 00:02:40,173 Speaker 2: But I think it's a great example of how sharing, 40 00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:45,013 Speaker 2: you know, Polynesian stories isn't just the right thing to do, like, 41 00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:48,013 Speaker 2: it's seriously entertaining as well, right and and and it 42 00:02:48,053 --> 00:02:49,693 Speaker 2: feels like you've really struck that balance. 43 00:02:51,573 --> 00:02:55,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Well, I mean, I don't. I don't. I 44 00:02:55,893 --> 00:02:58,533 Speaker 3: don't think as a MILDI storyteller. I do it because 45 00:02:58,533 --> 00:02:59,973 Speaker 3: it's the right thing to do as I do it 46 00:02:59,973 --> 00:03:01,653 Speaker 3: because I'm passionate about it and I want to do it, 47 00:03:02,213 --> 00:03:05,333 Speaker 3: and if I'm compelled to tell these stories because for 48 00:03:05,653 --> 00:03:11,293 Speaker 3: my my self ins reasons. But culturally we live in 49 00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:16,253 Speaker 3: the context of ancestors and descendants. You know, my own 50 00:03:16,253 --> 00:03:20,413 Speaker 3: self is cents just are relatively minor compared to being 51 00:03:20,453 --> 00:03:24,493 Speaker 3: of service to our EWI, to our people. Now, we 52 00:03:24,533 --> 00:03:27,893 Speaker 3: want we want stories like this that can inspire our 53 00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:31,933 Speaker 3: future generations, not because we should, but because it's something 54 00:03:31,973 --> 00:03:34,733 Speaker 3: that just as in our as in our lifeblood as 55 00:03:34,813 --> 00:03:36,093 Speaker 3: human beings, to want to do so. 56 00:03:37,373 --> 00:03:39,893 Speaker 2: There are elements of the story that that are so 57 00:03:39,973 --> 00:03:43,693 Speaker 2: familiar for an audience and ALTI at all. But but 58 00:03:43,733 --> 00:03:45,773 Speaker 2: for those of our audience who haven't you seen Chief 59 00:03:45,773 --> 00:03:47,533 Speaker 2: of Walk? Can you can you give us a little 60 00:03:47,533 --> 00:03:50,133 Speaker 2: bit of background without without giving too much away? Can 61 00:03:50,173 --> 00:03:52,013 Speaker 2: you can you kind of set the context for us 62 00:03:52,013 --> 00:03:52,453 Speaker 2: a little bit? 63 00:03:53,293 --> 00:03:56,453 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a classical story. I mean, it's true, 64 00:03:56,453 --> 00:04:01,293 Speaker 3: it's based on history, and it's a story that I 65 00:04:01,333 --> 00:04:05,733 Speaker 3: think we can recognize from many great stories from any 66 00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:10,653 Speaker 3: culture which makes it human. You know, there's a there's 67 00:04:10,693 --> 00:04:16,093 Speaker 3: a there's a chief of war played by Jason Monmore. 68 00:04:16,413 --> 00:04:19,333 Speaker 3: His name is cut Yana, and and they learn of 69 00:04:19,373 --> 00:04:23,693 Speaker 3: this this impending doom. There's this prophecy that a great 70 00:04:23,733 --> 00:04:28,253 Speaker 3: wave of of of the outside world is coming towards Hawaii. 71 00:04:28,613 --> 00:04:30,533 Speaker 3: And he has to leave the islands and go out 72 00:04:30,573 --> 00:04:32,613 Speaker 3: to see what's happening in the world. And he returns 73 00:04:32,653 --> 00:04:36,773 Speaker 3: with technology and stories and and he he wants to 74 00:04:36,893 --> 00:04:40,973 Speaker 3: change the way that Hawaii is. And he campaigns within 75 00:04:41,013 --> 00:04:44,573 Speaker 3: the kings of each island to unify the islands. And 76 00:04:44,613 --> 00:04:49,573 Speaker 3: this gives rise to the Kingdom of Kamehameha. But they've 77 00:04:49,613 --> 00:04:52,973 Speaker 3: got to go through a brutal series of battles and wars, 78 00:04:53,573 --> 00:04:58,533 Speaker 3: and Hawaii is divided amongst eight islands, and on these islands, 79 00:04:58,533 --> 00:05:01,813 Speaker 3: on each corner of each island are different kingdoms. It's 80 00:05:01,933 --> 00:05:05,493 Speaker 3: it's not this little known how vast and how complex 81 00:05:05,573 --> 00:05:11,093 Speaker 3: and how rich and powerful these nations were. Tim Weider 82 00:05:11,133 --> 00:05:14,653 Speaker 3: plays King Kahi Kili, which is the island of Maui. 83 00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:18,653 Speaker 3: I play a character called King Gaolwa from the island 84 00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:24,773 Speaker 3: of Hawaii, and my cousin is king Camehameha, and we 85 00:05:24,893 --> 00:05:31,093 Speaker 3: are all battling to decide which king should lead Hawaii 86 00:05:31,253 --> 00:05:35,013 Speaker 3: and prepare for the incoming world that is going to 87 00:05:35,133 --> 00:05:37,453 Speaker 3: change the life in Hawaii forever. 88 00:05:38,493 --> 00:05:42,613 Speaker 2: The relationship between Kanaka Maaali, so the indigenous peoples of 89 00:05:42,653 --> 00:05:48,773 Speaker 2: Hawaii and Maui and other Polynesian peoples obviously runs incredibly deep. 90 00:05:48,893 --> 00:05:51,373 Speaker 2: But from your perspective, what did you learn about Kanaka 91 00:05:51,413 --> 00:05:53,293 Speaker 2: Maali during this production? 92 00:05:55,293 --> 00:05:57,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess it's just a scale. I mean, 93 00:05:57,413 --> 00:06:01,173 Speaker 3: we you know, we have often seen on screen ourselves represented, 94 00:06:01,213 --> 00:06:04,373 Speaker 3: but the scale of the storytelling is very intimate, and 95 00:06:04,413 --> 00:06:06,933 Speaker 3: we just don't really realize that we are a million 96 00:06:06,973 --> 00:06:10,893 Speaker 3: Hawaiians living in Hawaii pre contact. Yeah, you know, and 97 00:06:10,893 --> 00:06:12,813 Speaker 3: that when they went to war, when they went to battle, 98 00:06:13,333 --> 00:06:15,533 Speaker 3: there wasn't like a few hundred or a few thousands. 99 00:06:15,613 --> 00:06:18,373 Speaker 3: There was one hundred thousand strong in each army, and 100 00:06:18,413 --> 00:06:20,613 Speaker 3: there might be two or three armies that battle all 101 00:06:20,653 --> 00:06:24,133 Speaker 3: at once. Uh. That when they were taken armada of 102 00:06:24,173 --> 00:06:26,813 Speaker 3: their ships from one island to the next, it was 103 00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:30,613 Speaker 3: in the thousands. So I think that's the thing that 104 00:06:30,693 --> 00:06:35,893 Speaker 3: really is striking, and that that hasn't been understood, and 105 00:06:36,053 --> 00:06:39,493 Speaker 3: it's really really inspiring to sort of see the might 106 00:06:39,613 --> 00:06:44,093 Speaker 3: of these nations and the vulnerability of them to to 107 00:06:44,093 --> 00:06:47,253 Speaker 3: to history and that and that empires come and they go, 108 00:06:47,333 --> 00:06:51,373 Speaker 3: they rise, and they fall, but we're still here and 109 00:06:51,533 --> 00:06:55,173 Speaker 3: uh And there's a beautiful connection between Maudi and and 110 00:06:55,173 --> 00:07:00,213 Speaker 3: and karnak Mauli of Hawaii, Tahiti, tongas more with Apa Nui, 111 00:07:00,613 --> 00:07:02,213 Speaker 3: and that we have a shared language, we have a 112 00:07:02,253 --> 00:07:05,893 Speaker 3: shared genealogy, we have a shared experience. That our continent 113 00:07:06,253 --> 00:07:10,133 Speaker 3: is not a continent of a mass of land like 114 00:07:10,213 --> 00:07:14,933 Speaker 3: the Americas or Europe, per Se or Asia. Ours is 115 00:07:14,933 --> 00:07:17,893 Speaker 3: a continent of ocean to Wana New Yaquiwa. And it 116 00:07:17,973 --> 00:07:20,253 Speaker 3: is not the seed that divides us. It is a 117 00:07:20,293 --> 00:07:24,133 Speaker 3: seed sea the ocean that connects us and unifies us 118 00:07:24,133 --> 00:07:28,133 Speaker 3: as Polynesia one of the main and it also connects 119 00:07:28,173 --> 00:07:30,853 Speaker 3: us to both sides of the Pacific. It connects us 120 00:07:30,893 --> 00:07:34,493 Speaker 3: through Taiwan into all of Asia, Southeast Asia, into China. 121 00:07:34,773 --> 00:07:37,453 Speaker 3: It connects us up to Mongolia and round from the 122 00:07:37,573 --> 00:07:40,733 Speaker 3: Mongolia across the Strait and down through the Americas. They're 123 00:07:40,813 --> 00:07:43,973 Speaker 3: native Americans of what we call now call Canada, the 124 00:07:44,093 --> 00:07:47,093 Speaker 3: Cree nation. They're coming tomorrow. We've got all of these 125 00:07:47,173 --> 00:07:49,493 Speaker 3: nations of Native America that go all the way down 126 00:07:49,493 --> 00:07:52,133 Speaker 3: to South America and it crosses back over into Upper 127 00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:55,333 Speaker 3: North Easter Island. So at the catchment of our indigenous 128 00:07:55,373 --> 00:08:00,533 Speaker 3: cultures are vast. It is a vast and un unheralded 129 00:08:02,533 --> 00:08:06,373 Speaker 3: population of indigenous culture. We're made to think through the 130 00:08:06,613 --> 00:08:10,653 Speaker 3: the historical western lens that we're little pockets of these 131 00:08:10,773 --> 00:08:14,013 Speaker 3: cute little natives that like to sing songs to one another, 132 00:08:14,893 --> 00:08:18,053 Speaker 3: but which we did do that too. We can also 133 00:08:18,133 --> 00:08:21,253 Speaker 3: be cute and very lovely and warm, but that we 134 00:08:21,253 --> 00:08:24,013 Speaker 3: were a vast population and still are. It's just that 135 00:08:24,053 --> 00:08:27,653 Speaker 3: it's been forgotten. And through the series we can revigorate this. 136 00:08:27,853 --> 00:08:32,213 Speaker 3: Because the character that Jason goes out to see the world, 137 00:08:32,253 --> 00:08:34,413 Speaker 3: he don't go to Europe. He goes to Asia. He 138 00:08:34,453 --> 00:08:37,933 Speaker 3: sees the might of southern Southeast asiaan all of China, 139 00:08:38,093 --> 00:08:40,653 Speaker 3: and he comes about with gunpowder and all the technologies 140 00:08:40,693 --> 00:08:43,973 Speaker 3: of Asia to prepare for the for the what will 141 00:08:44,013 --> 00:08:49,573 Speaker 3: be the onslaught of the western migration migrants as we 142 00:08:49,653 --> 00:08:51,613 Speaker 3: as we as we as we don't want to call 143 00:08:51,653 --> 00:08:55,933 Speaker 3: ourselves there, but the incoming migrants from this foreign place. 144 00:08:56,933 --> 00:08:59,013 Speaker 3: You know and wanting to colonize. 145 00:08:59,253 --> 00:09:02,133 Speaker 2: How at you Yeah, It's amazing in the production, the 146 00:09:02,213 --> 00:09:05,933 Speaker 2: prominence with which the Hawaiian language is given, I mean, 147 00:09:06,533 --> 00:09:08,893 Speaker 2: is remarkable seeing all of these actors we know and 148 00:09:08,933 --> 00:09:12,853 Speaker 2: love speaking in the Hawaiian language. How did you and 149 00:09:13,133 --> 00:09:14,653 Speaker 2: the cast find that experience? 150 00:09:15,893 --> 00:09:19,173 Speaker 3: I was beautiful? What a privilege? What a We have 151 00:09:19,293 --> 00:09:22,213 Speaker 3: the basis of our own real maori. So you know 152 00:09:22,573 --> 00:09:32,013 Speaker 3: ki vaka aloha, you know tohuna uh you know, we 153 00:09:32,133 --> 00:09:37,773 Speaker 3: have all of these connections farah. So we had the 154 00:09:37,773 --> 00:09:40,173 Speaker 3: basis of our own language. Was beautiful to hear it 155 00:09:40,653 --> 00:09:44,253 Speaker 3: resonate in the dialect which is Hawaii, which is our 156 00:09:44,253 --> 00:09:47,493 Speaker 3: connected language. And then we had Salman's and our cast 157 00:09:47,573 --> 00:09:50,773 Speaker 3: Torments and the cast Tahitians in the cast, and we 158 00:09:50,933 --> 00:09:54,613 Speaker 3: all connected through the vision of well more more and 159 00:09:55,413 --> 00:10:00,093 Speaker 3: they consciously wanted to reunite Polynesia to show that we 160 00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:03,053 Speaker 3: are connected and that we are not isolated, and that 161 00:10:03,133 --> 00:10:07,173 Speaker 3: we should not divide ourselves by our ilects on by 162 00:10:07,173 --> 00:10:11,733 Speaker 3: our islands, but connect ourselves to celebrate our connection and 163 00:10:11,773 --> 00:10:15,093 Speaker 3: our heritage together. It's a beautiful, beautiful happening. 164 00:10:15,253 --> 00:10:17,693 Speaker 2: And it wasn't like in a practical sense, is it. 165 00:10:17,853 --> 00:10:22,733 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you know you yeah, yeah, no doubt. 166 00:10:22,333 --> 00:10:26,453 Speaker 3: Huge challenge and you know it's it's actually yeah, it's 167 00:10:26,613 --> 00:10:31,293 Speaker 3: very very typical to to earn the Hawaiian But I 168 00:10:31,013 --> 00:10:35,733 Speaker 3: I was so excited by it. I asked, I asked 169 00:10:36,093 --> 00:10:40,413 Speaker 3: on the condition if I accepted the role, that in 170 00:10:40,493 --> 00:10:43,493 Speaker 3: order to honor this ancestor, that I would not speak 171 00:10:43,533 --> 00:10:46,653 Speaker 3: a word of English, that I would only speak Hawaiian. Wow. 172 00:10:46,973 --> 00:10:50,013 Speaker 3: And that was a great privilege to to in a 173 00:10:50,013 --> 00:10:54,413 Speaker 3: commitment for myself to to you know, to try my 174 00:10:54,533 --> 00:10:56,733 Speaker 3: best to honor this this ancestral line. 175 00:10:57,693 --> 00:11:01,533 Speaker 2: Have you found yourself through the production experience starting to 176 00:11:01,573 --> 00:11:03,893 Speaker 2: like reach for words in real Maudi and going to 177 00:11:03,973 --> 00:11:05,813 Speaker 2: the Hawaiian word instead. Obviously there are a lot of 178 00:11:05,853 --> 00:11:07,493 Speaker 2: similarities a lot of the time that do you find 179 00:11:07,533 --> 00:11:09,213 Speaker 2: yourself sometimes reaching for the wrong one? 180 00:11:10,253 --> 00:11:13,173 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely. But the but but but the greater 181 00:11:13,333 --> 00:11:17,173 Speaker 3: danger was actually speaking Hawaiian with a Maudi accent, which 182 00:11:17,213 --> 00:11:21,133 Speaker 3: is quite quite difficult. It's like speaking it's like speaking 183 00:11:21,453 --> 00:11:24,933 Speaker 3: English with an American accent. You know, it's it's quite abrupt, 184 00:11:25,173 --> 00:11:27,613 Speaker 3: it's quite notice. Was the biggest challenge was to try 185 00:11:27,613 --> 00:11:31,573 Speaker 3: and but there was there still exists a dialect in 186 00:11:31,613 --> 00:11:34,893 Speaker 3: Hawaii where instead of that where they still have the 187 00:11:35,013 --> 00:11:38,973 Speaker 3: tea's and the rs that we have same on Someone, 188 00:11:39,093 --> 00:11:41,973 Speaker 3: there's there's a there's a there's a dialect in someone 189 00:11:42,053 --> 00:11:44,653 Speaker 3: and Hawaiian which has the Maldi tea and the Maudi 190 00:11:44,813 --> 00:11:48,813 Speaker 3: R and the Maudi W. So so I I chose 191 00:11:48,893 --> 00:11:55,373 Speaker 3: to use that dialect and my character to hopefully connect this. 192 00:11:55,373 --> 00:12:00,013 Speaker 3: This this thousand years, thousands of years apart and thousands 193 00:12:00,093 --> 00:12:04,773 Speaker 3: of miles away, still our language and our customs live 194 00:12:05,933 --> 00:12:10,533 Speaker 3: through this. It's a beautiful, beautiful celebration of our heritage.
