Voices of Wisdom Hawaiian Elders Speak
A brilliant book of interviews with amazing photographs  --The Maui News, May 23, 1999Sections on Hawaiian healers shed light on practices just  beginning to become known outside the Hawaiian community.  --Honolulu Star-Bulletin, August 6, 1999Steve Brinkman's masterful black-and-white portraits are  intimate, as though you're just about to clasp the person's  hand.  --Kihei Times, August 10, 1999The book is emotionally inspiring all the way through.   --Kihei Times, August 10, 1999These uncompromising men and women revived Hawaiian language,  dance and music; they redis-covered native arts such as kapa making,  herbal healing and open-sea navigation; they began the struggle for  sovereignty--in short, they pulled their own cul\000\000ture back from  the brink of extinction. Today's Hawaiian elders constitute a truly  heroic generation. Each chapter represents an encounter--and I mean a  good, rich, insightful, thought-provoking encounter--with a different  member of this heroic generation.  --Haleakala Times, August 17, 1999
