Dateline The Hawaiian Kingdom: John Kane (Mohawk) Weighs In

Fast Horse Productions' The Martha Fast Horse Show

Special Guest: John Kane (Mohawk), National Commentator on Native Issues

Show Topic: “Dateline The Hawaiian Kingdom: John Kane (Mohawk) Weighs In”

John Kane is a monthly guest on my show. He hosts two weekly radio shows, “Let’s Talk Native…with John Kane” on Sunday nights on ESPN-AM 1520 in Buffalo, New York and “First Voices Indigenous Radio” on WBAI-FM ­– that’s Pacifica Radio – in New York City on Thursday mornings. He’s frequently seen and heard on TV and radio.

Featured Song: "Living in a Sovereign Land" by Israel "IZ" Ka?ano?i Kamakawiwo?ole (May 20, 1959 - June 26, 1997) was a Hawaiian musician.

He became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993. His medley of "Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World" was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and commercials.

Through his ukulele playing and incorporation of other genres (such as jazz and reggae), Kamakawiwo?ole remains one of the major influences in Hawaiian music.
