Jason Momoa stars in and co-creates 'Chief of War,' a new series that shines a spotlight on Hawaiian history through the story of Ka'iana, an 18th-century warrior. The show explores the clash between Hawaiian island kingdoms and European colonizers, offering a fresh perspective on a lesser-known historical era.
Editor’s Note: This story matters because it highlights the growing push for diverse, culturally rich storytelling in mainstream media. By centering Hawaiian history and indigenous perspectives, 'Chief of War' not only entertains but also educates audiences about a pivotal moment in history—something that’s often overlooked in Hollywood. Plus, with Jason Momoa’s star power, it could bring much-deserved attention to Pacific Islander narratives.
