Intro to Season 1- Wai with Lala Nuss

O la i ka wai. Water is life. And what a time to be talking about it. Oʻahu is experiencing a water crisis as a result of the Navy's continued negligence. Mauʻi suffers on-going stream diversion from reckless profit-seeking landowners. The climate crisis continues to threaten access to fresh water. The list goes on. There are many struggles to protect and defend water systems from foreign interests, militarism, and profit seeking landowners happening across our islands. But in true RCR fashion, we spoke to with grassroots water protectors throughout our islands to capture the many place-based struggles and sought to weave a thread of deep reverence for wai's resilience. 

To start our season, check out this short episode to get a rundown. You will also get to meet our guest host, Lala Nuss; a regenerative practitioner, local wahine, and soulful storyteller who weaves her deep admiration for wai, social justice, and aloha ʻāina with grace and power! Our beloved Tina took a break to finish her dissertation and is now on the frontlines organizing against the Navy. Though she is missed, we are grateful for her fearless voice and leadership on the frontlines resisting the military industrial complex and calling for a decolonized future!
