We traveled to California last summer to talk to the tribe about its Hawaiian heritage for Offshore, our serialized storytelling podcast. The story of the tribe - whose members have both Native American and Native Hawaiian ancestors - is a fairly well-documented, though often overlooked, part of California and Hawaiian history. The stories running on Civil Beat’s site will accompany - but not mirror - the audio stories, so be sure to check out both. Host Kuʻu Kauanoe takes a hard look at why Hawaiians are leaving the islands today and tells surprising stories from history about Hawaiians who left long ago.įrom now until June 18, we’ll be posting weekly episodes, along with written articles.

Offshore Season 4: Far From Home focuses on the Hawaiian diaspora.
