Aliʻi Legacies: Thomas Square

Join Kumu Ramsay Taum and former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell for a living room conversation beginning with the modern-day signifcance of Oʻahuʻs legacy parks and the heritage and recent re-imagining of Thomas Square, and possibly leading to indigenous concepts of land ownership and the Rights of Nature.
