This is the classic film of cultural confrontation that is as compelling today as when it was first released over 20 years ago. When Columbus and Cortez ventured into the New World there was no camera to record the drama of this first encounter. But, in 1930, when the Leahy brothers penetrated the interior of New Guinea in search of gold, they carried a movie camera. Thus they captured on film their unexpected confrontation with thousands of Stone Age people who had no concept of human life beyond their valleys. This amazing footage forms the basis of First Contact.Yet there is more to this extraordinary film than the footage that was recovered. Fifty years later some of the participants are still alive and vividly recall their unique experience. The Papuans tell how they thought the white men were their ancestors, bleached by the sun and returned from the dead. They were amazed at the artifacts of 20th century life such as tin cans, phonographs and airplanes. When shown their younger, innocent selves in the found footage, they recall the darker side of their relationship with these mysterious beings with devastating weapons.Australian Dan Leahy describes his fear at being outnumbered by primitive looking people with whom he could not speak. He felt he had to dominate them for his own survival and to continue his quest for gold.First Contact is one of those rare films that holds an audience spellbound. Humor and pathos are combined in this classic story of colonialism, told by the people who were there. Adult College

Kahoʻolawe Aloha ʻĀina focuses on the cultural, political and military significance of the "target island" of Kaho‘olawe in the Hawaiian archipelago. The Hawaiian term aloha ‘āina refers to love of the land, the basis of Hawaiian cultural belief that animates the current movement to bring the island back to life.
This video, produced by the Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana and directed by Nā Maka o ka ‘Āina, traces the history of the island, from ancient times through the years of ranching, U.S. military bombardment and the modern-day struggle to stop the bombing and reclaim the island.
An ancient chant set against sweeping aerial views of the island opens the program as the viewer sets out on a tour of Kaho‘olawe's historic past. The island's summit was used in ancient times as an astronomical observatory and its southern point provided a prime launching site for canoe voyages to Tahiti.
The program traces the later history of the island, from the degradation of the island's environment through the introduction of goats, sheep, cattle, to military bombing.
The 1970's saw a turnaround in the history of Kaho‘olawe as Hawaiians began to occupy the island, protesting its desecration. Out of a commitment to stop the bombing was born the Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana (Family). Their visits to Kaho‘olawe for archeological surveys, water studies, re-planting and religious rituals are highlighted by the annual observance of Makahiki, a season of peace celebrated with dance, music and feasting.
Finally the program takes a look at the debate over the future of Kaho‘olawe. An order by President George H. W. Bush to stop the bombing in 1990 was followed by congressional action to appropriate funds for the removal of ordnance and to return the island to the sovereign nation of Hawai’i, pending its recognition.
