Portrait of native Hawaiian family eating poi, Hawai'i, 1907
'i

Five family members can be seen sitting on the floor of a studio. They all have poi on the fingers of their upraised hands. To the far left, a woman wearing a decorative dress is visible, on the far right, a man wearing a long-sleeved shirt and tie can be seen holding a glass to his lips. Between them, three young girls wearing
dresses are visible. They are sitting on leaves. Several pots, a bottle, and plates are sitting in front of them. There is a painted backdrop behind them.

[Short film]: Pili Ka Moʻo

Justyn Ah Chong with Malia Akutagawa (#KanakaMaoli)

"The #Fukumitsu ʻOhana (family) of #Hakipuu are #NativeHawaiian #TaroFarmers and keepers of this generational practice. While much of #Oahu has become urbanized, Hakipuʻu remains a kīpuka (oasis) of traditional knowledge where great chiefs once resided and their bones still remain. The Fukumitsus are tossed into a world of complex real estate and judicial proceedings when nearby Kualoa Ranch, a large settler-owned corporation, destroys their familial burials to make way for continued development plans."

Should also teach children 80-90% of Native Hawaiians died from exposure to diseases brought by Europeans between late 1700s-early 1900s. Those same diseases are now preventable by vaccines but remain a threat if vaccines are not routine (see 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa and 2023 in American Samoa).

if you've read about water not being released to fight the #lahaina fire, you should definitely read this excellent article on water rights in #maui , co-authored by Kapuaʻala Sproat, a native hawaiian law professor : theguardian.com/commentisfree/

tbh, everyone should read this article because it shows just how messed up the water situation is on the islands.

it also shows the confusing ways that colonialism has operated here & how it continues to operate. i've seen property records that show native hawaiian owners in one year, then 5 years later, mysteriously, there's a western name listed, despite no record of a sale. this was in the 50s/60s. this stuff is common.

it's important to recognize that a big part of the strategy of colonialism here is creating these convoluted legal histories that end up hiding whatever might have really happened, but at the end of the day, somehow the land is no longer yours and the water is no longer yours either.

so yea, read the article. it IS confusing. that's how colonialism works around here.

Noelani Ahia, a Kanaka Maoli activist, describes the community's reaction to the destruction of Indigenous cultural documents, art and artifacts. “In the blink of an eye, it was burned to the ground, and all of those things were lost,” says Ahia. She also describes mutual aid efforts now underway and notes, “The people on the ground know what the community needs.”

Hi! I'm checking this place out. I'm a #writer of #kidlit or #kidslit and am #kanakamaoli ( #hawaiian ) and tend to work that into my #books and #stories. Excited to meet other #librarians #teachers #writers #authors and #educators on this site. Oh, and my #debut #mg #middlegrade book comes out next summer, 6/6/23 with #penguinrandomhouse. It is titled LEI AND THE FIRE GODDESS. no clue what image sizes work for this site, so let's try this for now and change as we learn...

Well, I left Twitter after opening it in 2013 and actually USING it for about…1 1/2 years? Still didn’t quite catch fire there but now…I’m going to miss seeing what’s up with the Lāhui and our Indigenous Brothers & Sisters. No idea what I’m doing! Do hashtags work here?

I finally sat down and watched the amazing documentary Kumu Hina about māhu/transgender Hawaiian culture activist and educator Hinaleimoana_Wong-Kalu. I am really struggling to understand what else whiteness could possibly be about aside from shaming, policing, and robbing people of everything that makes them who they are.
