How the Army Got to Bomb Hawaii For $1

The U.S. Army has bombed, burned and desecrated sacred Hawaiian land in the name of national security since World War II. The military acquired much of this land decades ago for just $1. Dena Takruri gets rare access into the U.S. Army’s Pōhakuloa Training Area on the Big Island of Hawaii, and speaks to Native Hawaiians about the years-long battle to get their land back. Correction: The aerial shot at 8:14 is not the Makua Valley, but rather the Makua Cave located less than a mile from the Makua Military Reservation. #Hawaii #Military #Occupation Subscribe for more videos: Sign up for subtext, our newsletter about the people and movements driving change in our society: Follow us on Instagram: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter:
