Where Native America meets pop culture

March 27, 2008

Kaiulani controversy continues

The debate over casting Q'orianka Kilcher as Princess Kaiulani in a Hawaiian movie continues:I noticed that you(r) biography had no mention what so ever about your having lived in the Islands... How could you possibly give your opinion about something you know nothing about?

If there are Hawaiians who are upset about not making the cut or having the chance to be a part of this film...do your homework and start your own production.
