Larry Lindsey Kimura | Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox

Original Air Date: Tues., May 31, 2016
Larry Lindsey Kimura of Hawaii Island was just a child when he began to sense that the Hawaiian language his grandmother spoke fluently was on the verge of extinction. Ever since, he has committed his life to the preservation and perpetuation of the language, as a teacher and developer of innovative programs, including Punana Leo, the Hawaiian language preschools.

(20:00) It's not just the music and food that keeps you who you are, it's the language. I ka ‘ōlelo no ke ola, i ka ‘ōlelo nō ka make.
