ABOUT

My name is Kaiya, and I am a second-generation Uchinānchu

(indigenous Okinawan) student from Portland, Oregon. When I was in high school, I went back to Henoko in the spring of 2019 because I was frustrated with the silence of the media around this crisis. I wanted to show the world what's happening, and was able to create a documentary during my time there.

 

My short film, "Our Island's Treasure," focuses on the current and ongoing destruction of the beautiful ocean in Henoko and the fight by native Uchinānchu people to protect it.

The information on all of the action ideas are listed in detail on this website. Please help spread awareness.
