True Hawaiian Story, History and Weapons from Chief of War w/ Brook and Drena Parker | EP039

Taisei Discovers Brook and Drena Parker. They are back for the second time on the podcast, and this time we explore all about Chief of War - the untold stories, history lessons, Kupuna, Kuleana and some of the real weapons used in the show, as Brook shared his love and knowledge of the Hawaiian history with us.

Drena came on and she shared her stories and experiences of running and taking care of the business side of the art that Brook does and the legacy they are leaving behind for generations to remember and revere.

Lee brothers are eternally grateful for being blessed for being blessed with this opportunity to learn more about our ancestry and culture and being able to share it with you guys. Mahalo for this one.
