Offshore journeys to Guam, where a torrent of abuse lawsuits against the Catholic Church are a sign of big societal changes. After centuries of colonization, people on Guam are reexamining their history, their culture — and their faith.

A trip to a neighborhood bar in California leads Offshore to some unexpected places, as reporter Paola Mardo dives into the history of America’s fascination with all things Tiki.

In the final episode of Season Two, Offshore goes back to the beginning to search for answers to the conflict on Mauna Kea. Not the beginning of astronomy in Hawaii, but beginning of the Kumulipo. The Hawaiian chant of creation.

The story of Mauna Kea starts on an island in the Pacific — but it doesn’t end there. There are other sacred mountains. Sacred plains. Sacred forests. Today, the fights over all these places are becoming linked in ways that no one could have anticipated.

Is there an inherent conflict between Western science and indigenous culture? A difference in worldviews that makes communication between the two sides in this conflict impossible? Or is there something else at play here?

Why do astronomers feel a giant new telescope on top of Mauna Kea is so important? What will Hawaii — and the scientific community — stand to lose if the telescope isn’t built?

What is it about Mauna Kea that makes it so sacred to Hawaiians? So precious that people have pledged their lives, their liberty, to blocking further development on its summit?

Atop one of the world’s most sacred mountains, a battle over science, culture — and the future of Hawaii.

What is it about Hawaii’s tallest mountain that makes it so revered? So desired? So fought over? One thing's for sure, the mountain changes people.

Hawaii author Lois-Ann Yamanaka reads from her novel, "Heads by Harry."
