In San Antonio, Lanny Sinkin is known as the former director of Solar San Antonio. Today he is known as Alii Manao Nui, adviser to Edmund Keli’i Silva Jr., who he considers the rightful leader of a soon-to-be-restored Kingdom of Hawai'i. Here I speak with Sinkin about his transition from solar advocate to king's advisor, his work with the Temple of Lono, fighting the Thirty Meter Telescope at the sacred mountain of Mauna Kea, the evolution of Dolphinville, and the ethics of swimming with whales and dolphins.
