About these photos:

During the process of interviewing/documenting the activism in Henoko, I was able to capture the movement through photos in addition to the short film. This is a collection of photos taken at Henoko at different times, in hopes to continue spreading the urgency of this crisis. 

Please share this Flickr profile (@kaiyayonaminewith your communities, download and use these photos in posts, and/or create messages of solidarity for Henoko on social media. Please keep spreading the word!

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.
