I'm doing a National History Day Project on George Helm and his involvement with both PKO and the island of Kaho'olawe. I'm seeking people part of the PKO who have information that exceed the information within this video and those who could provide me with statements, that could develop an even better project praising the "Leadership and Legacies" that George left in Hawaiian History. It would be amazing if someone reached out from PKO to help me create my project on George Helm. Thank You hope to get a response.

Yes, this is an excellent story, but it's an excerpt of a full length film that is not credited here. Please acknowledge the film Mai Ka Piko Mai, A Ho‘i: Return to Kanaloa by Molokai filmmaker Matt Yamashita, funded by KIRC, with significant kokua by members of Protect Kaho'olawe 'Ohana.

That is great that these people fought to get kahoolawe back to Hawaii

How come no one ever talks about the the Fresno State line backer Kimo Mitchel, who also sacrificed his life for Kaho'olawe?
