Star Newland, Dolphin Researcher

Dolphin researcher and community activist Star Newland has passed away at 65, according to her son Tiger Stanley and her friend and business partner Michael Hyson. Star, who also called herself Paradise Newland, advocated to change or “sculpt” society’s language, to focus on clarity. “Language sculpting,” she said, “was the creation of coherent realities through the conscious use of language,” Michael explained. Through her efforts, “Say yes to Domestic Harmony” stickers are adhered to the bumpers of all County of Hawaii vehicles, including Hele-On buses and marked police vehicles and are expected to adhere on U.S. Navy ships, according to Michael. Star was also involved in the natural birthing movement. Specifically, she advocated for gentle birth, water birth, and dolphin attended birth. She was such an advocate for pre-birth dolphin contact, so much so that at one time she had to defend herself against Child Protective Services, seeking to take her child away from her for choosing to give birth on a beach where dolphins could be present.
