He goes, You’re not Hawaiian yet. At twenty -one, twenty - two years old, I said, Of course, I’m Hawaiian. But he really challenged me, saying that, You were really trained and educated in the Western context, and the content you understand is from that as well, so you haven’t really become Hawaiian yet.  \nAfter receiving this challenge, Ramsay Taum moved from Oahu to Hawaii Island. He spent the next six years there working at nights, while spending time with Hawaiian elders during the day. By the time he moved back to Oahu, he felt that he had finally become Hawaiian. Ramsay Taum, next on Long Story Short.  \nLong Story Short with Leslie Wilcox, is Hawaii’s first weekly television program produced and broadcast in high definition.  \nAloha mai kakou. I’m Leslie Wilcox. Ramsay Taum of Honolulu is the founder and president of the Life Enhancement Institute of the Pacific. His mission is to include Native Hawaiian cultural values and principles in community planning, whether it’s in designing space, or consulting with business and nonprofit leaders. Although Ramsay Taum attended Kamehameha Schools, that’s not where he learned his culture.  \nI graduated Kamehameha in 1978 after thirteen years there, and then went to the United States Air Force Academy. Transferred to the University of Southern California in 1981, and I graduated in ’81 with a Bachelor of Science in public administration, and some urban planning.  \nWell, with all the ROTC and Air Force, it sounds pretty Western.  \nIt was. And even coming out of Kamehameha Schools, I think we can recall that there really wasn’t much of an emphasis on the cultural pieces. In fact, while I was at the Academy, I started taking Chinese, Mandarin, because they required a second language. And at the time, Hawaiian wasn’t considered a second language. So, even when I was at Kamehameha, I didn’t pursue Hawaiian language, unfortunately, like our students can now.  \nIt was such a different campus then.  \nIt was a very different campus. There was a very different emphasis. The whole cultural thing was a very different part of the world.  \nIt was more, your Hawaiian culture is here for you to enjoy, but here, partake of this Western stuff.  \nYeah. I kinda joke about it now. I tell people, I don’t leave my life to go do my culture thing and come back to it. But at one point, it was kind of like that. I’m gonna go do my culture thing, and then I’ll come back to life tomorrow. Culture really isn’t like that; culture is alive. And so, I’m glad and happy to see that our students are now being able to experience the culture in a more realistic way. I mean, living the culture and not just having it be a part of something you do asan extracurricular activity.  \nWas it important to your parents for you to go to Kamehameha? Tell me about your parents.  \nMy parents; I mean, I couldn’t have better friends, let alone mentors and guides. My father was a Kamehameha graduate, and he actually [CHUCKLE] got himself into the school when he was much younger. And so, when I got to Kamehameha, many of his teachers that he had were still there. And so, that was a legacy I got to experience when I was at Kamehameha.  \nWas it hard to get into Kamehameha then?  \nThey wanted to see how we played. Then they had us painting and doing creative things, and they talked to us about different stories. And I remember doing a painting and playing with other things. From what I understood later on, that was a big part of the experience, was the whole notion of social interaction.  \nThat’s what I’ve heard.  \nYeah. How to really engage people. Because if you can do that, they can provide you with the content if you engage with them.  \nYou could do that as a kindergartener. Isn’t that how you make your living now?  \nThat’s so true. At one time, I thought I’d be a professional friend.  \n[CHUCKLE]  \nYou know; gonna be a","cbCaiqTGDAVSOJcj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqTGDAVSOJcj","pdf",69469,"English","# LSS 717 (Length and air date)\n## Becoming Hawaiian through elders and community planning\n## Education: Kamehameha, Air Force ROTC, and later studies\n## Cultural experience and learning via social interaction\n## Family influence and early sports mentality","[{\"question\":\"Why did Ramsay Taum feel challenged about being Hawaiian early on?\",\"answer\":\"A mentor told him he wasn’t Hawaiian yet despite his age, training, and the Western context of what he understood.
