Chief of War is a stellar production—a powerful example of what it looks like when kānaka ʻŌiwi take back the narrative and tell our own stories, in our own way. To see our ancestors, our moʻolelo, and our history come alive at this magnitude is nothing short of beautiful. Mahalo nui to nā Akua, our ʻaumākua, and beloved kūpuna who continue to guide us—to Jason Momoa—and to the entire lāhui who played a role in making this project a reality. This isn’t just entertainment—it’s reclamation.
