Podcast
As plantations began to phase out in Hawaiʻi, these oral histories were collected to document the way of life in our plantation and rural communities and offer insight into the daily life of Native Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and Peurto Rican communities of Waialua in the early 20th century–gathering ʻopihi, cutting and loading cane at the Waialua Sugar Mill, playing volleyball.
Narrators: Lorna Burger, Patrick Wong, Alfredo Santiago, David Mahoe, and Emigdio Cabico.
