The Lyman Museum in Hilo will present Joseph Nawahi’s videobiography, produced by the University of Hawaii at Manoa Center for Biographical Research, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 10.
UHH’s Kalena Silva will lead a discussion following the documentary screening. Among the many talents of Joseph Nawahi was a remarkable artistry in oils.
“Sadly, only a few of his works survive, but Joseph Nawahi was much more: writer, teacher, attorney, legislator, publisher of a Hawaiian-language newspaper and advisor to Queen Lili‘uokalani,” said Lyman spokeswoman Christine Vana.

“His writings, speeches and acts in support of Hawaii’s independence define him as a true Hawaiian patriot.”
