Pelekunu - Back to the land of Moloka‘i

Produced and written by Walter Ritte in 1980, this video describes the efforts by Hawaiians to return to the traditions of their ancestors by going back to live on the land in Pelekunu Valley on the north shore of Moloka‘i. Narrated by Jacqueline "Skylark" Rossetti, with music by Olomana, this 12-minute piece includes location footage and photos of several families as they raise food, build shelters, and educate their children in this remote valley.

Produced & written by Walter Ritte.
Directed, edited, and remastered by Joan Lander.

This video material was recently digitized and preserved; it will be used in the upcoming documentary, "Aloha 'Aina - The Awakening of Walter Ritte," produced by Moloka'i filmmaker Matt Yamashita.
