This subcollection contains the production materials and raw footage for the documentary "Those Who Came Before: The Musical Journey of Eddie Kamae." This documentary pays tribute to three remarkable teachers that have guided Eddie Kamae: the great author and translator Mary Kawena Pukui, the "Songwriter of Waipiʻo" Sam Liʻa, and "Aloha Chant" author Pilahi Paki. One by one, they entrusted Eddie with key pieces of Hawaiʻi's heritage - inspiring him to understand, perform, and pass that heritage on to the children of Hawaiʻi.
