This award winning one-hour documentary pays tribute to the untamed
spirit of a colorful and controversial Hawaiian man. Known throughout
the islands, Luther Makekau was part philosopher and part outlaw,
a chanter and a singer, a fighter and a lover, a cattle rustler,
a rebel and a poet. Born on Maui in 1890, during the reign of
King Kalakaua, he lived nearly a hundred years, shaped by a century
of turbulent cultural change.
The SONS OF HAWAII is the only documentary available on DVD.

future. Your contribution to The Hawaiian Legacy Foundation can
