Thursday, 8/31/2023, on American Indian Airwaves on KPFK, 7pm to 8pm (PCT) “The Living Histories of Lahaina and Self Determination for Hawaiian Nation and Cannabis: From Gold Rush to Green Rush” Part 1: The living histories of Lahaina are told through the intergenerational means of passing traditional stories, songs, language, and life from one Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) generation to the next. Despite the media, national, and international attention on the recent August 8th, 2023, deadly Lahaina fire, many critical questions and concerns are missing from various media reports about the self-determination of the Hawaiian nation in recovery and healing from the violence stemming from United States militarization, the illegal over through of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the United States, corporatizing the land and water for tourism, plus more. Through the settler colonial history of what is called Lahaina, the Kanaka Maoli are resilient in survivance and now more than ever are organized in working to ensure that decolonization and healing takes place as part of the recovery from the Lahaina fire. Tune in today on American Indian Airwaves to hear enriching, important, and real stories from a Kanaka Maoli perspective on the living histories of “Lahaina,” Maui, and the Hawaiian nation, plus more. Guest: • Kepā Maly, Cultural Ethnographer - Resource Specialist of Kumu Pono Associates LLC (https://www.kumupono.com/). Kepā was raised on the islands of O'ahu and Lanaʻi. While growing up on Lānaʻi, Kepā was taught the Hawaiian language and cultural practices and values by kūpuna (elders). Kūpuna spoke of, and practiced many aspects of Hawaiian culture, including land and ocean management practices, mele and hula (chants and dances), material culture, traditions, and ethnobotany. Part 2: The long legacy of settler colonial violence against California Indigenous nations, the lands, waters, and more continues in northern California where the informal and formal cannabis industry is harming the Peoples, lands, waters, and more. The Cannabis industry is just one industry out many contributing to systemic forms of colonial violence. Tune in today on American Indian Airwaves to the author of a new published book titled Settler Cannabis: From Gold Rush to Green Rush in Indigenous Northern California (2023). The book is the first to cover the environmental consequences of cannabis cultivation in California by foregrounding Indigenous voices, experiences, and histories. It's not intended as an expose of cannabis growers, but rather meant to inform the path toward an alternative future, one that starts with the return of land to Indigenous stewardship and a rejection of the commodification and control of nature for profit. Guest: Kaitlin Reed (Yurok/Hupa/Oneida), Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Cal-Poly, Humboldt and the author of the newly published book: Settler Cannabis: From Gold Rush to Green Rush in Indigenous Northern California (2023).

Understanding culture is extremely important, especially in the field of perinatal mental health. The cultural context has everything to do with how someone experiences the world and manages their mental health. Join us in this episode to learn more! Kalena Kaopuuokalani Lanuza is a Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) and a doctorally prepared, fully-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and certified lactation counselor. She currently resides in the unceded territory of the Ventureño Chumash, which is commonly known as Ventura, California. We discuss the connection between colonialism and settler colonialism, cultural and intergenerational trauma, and mood and anxiety disorders in Native Hawaiians and Pasifika. Kalena also shares her current work and how the reconnection to culture and land can be important for Native Hawaiian and Pasifika people who were removed from their ancestral lands.  Show Highlights How Kalena became interested in perinatal mental health How Kalena's personal experience with perinatal anxiety with the birth of her son in 2014 How Kalena opened her practice last June with the intention of being available for other Native Hawaiians  Why Kalena named her practice with the symbolic name “Mana” How Kalena found “the truest space” for her to fulfill her calling and work to help other mothers Why changes are needed in health care to establish and maintain cultural competence How Native Hawaiians are inextricably connected to their land How the ramifications of colonialism and settler colonialism influence mental health challenges Why Kalena has to be mindful of ALL the different facets that come into play when working with indigenous people How “lumping” together different populations/cultures has been detrimental–and the data needs to be segregated and recalculated Why we need more and more cultural competency and cultural humility in today's world Kalena's message to other providers about sitting with each person and giving them space How specific aspects of perinatal mental health can be best supported through a cultural lens How the identity of a Native Hawaiian solely wrapped up in “vacation mode” is hurtful and inauthentic Resources Connect with Kalena Lanuza: Website and Instagram Visit www.postpartum.net for resources!

This episode I speak with artist Lehuauakea. Lehua is a māhū or Queer, Kanaka Maoli/Native Hawaiian and mixed heritage interdisciplinary artist and kapa maker from Pāpaʻikou on Moku O Keawe, or the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. We caught up this summer on the ancestral lands of the Tewa/Towa people of what is now known as Santa Fe, NM during their residency at the School for Advanced Research this summer where Lehua was working on making some large scale Kapa and other projects. We chat about the intention Lehua takes in how their culture is embedded in all they make, their ways of practicing art and producing kapa, and how the act of making keeps Lehua connected deeper to their land and ancestry. Opening the episode we hear an audio recording from the late Kanaka Maoli activist Haunani Kay Trask. This excerpt is from a speech Trask gave On the 100th anniversary of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, in 1993, where Trask famously spoke in front of Iolani Palace. About Lehuauakea: Lehuauakea is a māhū mixed-Native Hawaiian interdisciplinary artist and kapa maker from Pāpaʻikou on Moku O Keawe, the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Lehua's Kānaka Maoli family descends from several lineages connected to Maui, Kauaʻi, Kohala, and Hāmākua where their family resides to this day.

Lehua's Kānaka Maoli family descends from several lineages connected to Maui, Kauaʻi, Kohala, and Hāmākua where their family resides to this day. Through a range of craft-based media, their art serves as a means of exploring cultural and biological ecologies, spectrums of Indigeneity, and what it means to live within the context of contemporary environmental degradation. With a particular focus on the labor-intensive making of ʻohe kāpala (carved bamboo printing tools), kapa (bark cloth), and natural pigments, Lehua is able to breathe new life into patterns and traditions practiced for generations. Through these acts of resilience that help forge deeper relationships with ʻāina, this mode of Indigenous storytelling is carried well into the future. They have participated in several solo and group shows around the Pacific Ocean, and recently opened their first curatorial research project, DISplace, at the Five Oaks Museum in Portland, Oregon. The artist is currently based between the Pacific Northwest and Pāpaʻikou after earning their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting with a minor in Art + Ecology at Pacific Northwest College of Art.

In Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawai'i (Duke University Press, 2021), Candace Fujikane draws upon Hawaiian stories about the land and water and their impact upon Native Hawai'ian struggles to argue that Native economies of abundance provide a foundation for collective work against climate change. Fujikane contends that the practice of mapping abundance is a radical act in the face of settler capital's fear of an abundance that feeds. Cartographies of capital enable the seizure of abundant lands by enclosing "wastelands" claimed to be underdeveloped. By contrast, Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) cartographies map the continuities of abundant worlds. Vital to restoration movements is the art of kilo, intergenerational observation of elemental forms encoded in storied histories, chants, and songs. As a participant in these movements, Fujikane maps the ecological lessons of these elemental forms: reptilian deities who protect the waterways, sharks who swim into the mountains, the navigator Māui who fishes up the islands, the deities of snow and mists on Mauna Kea. The laws of these elements are now being violated by toxic waste dumping, leaking military jet fuel tanks, and astronomical-industrial complexes. As Kānaka Maoli and their allies stand as land and water protectors, Fujikane calls for a profound attunement to the elemental forms in order to transform climate events into renewed possibilities for planetary abundance.

From their earliest encounters with Indigenous Pacific Islanders, white Europeans and Americans saw Polynesians as almost racially white, and speculated that they were of Mediterranean or Aryan descent. In Possessing Polynesians: The Science of Settler Colonial Whiteness in Hawai‘i and Oceania (Duke University Press, 2020) Maile Arvin argues that a logic of possession through whiteness animates settler colonialism in which Polynesians become exotic, feminized belongings of whiteness. This provided white settlers with the justification needed to claim Polynesian lands and resources. Understood as possessions, Polynesians were and continue to be denied the privileges of whiteness. Yet Polynesians have long contested these classifications, claims, and cultural representations, and Arvin shows how their resistance to and refusal of white settler logic have regenerated Indigenous forms of recognition. In this episode of the podcast Maile talks to host Alex Golub about her book and its implications. She describes what 'possessing Polynesians' entails and how it plays out in anthropology. The discussion then shifts to ways in which Hawaiians are 'possessed' by this racial logic and use it in their own self-understanding and legal and political struggles. Finally, Maile discusses the concept of 'regenerative refusal' and how this strategy is being used by Hawaiians today. Maile Arvin is an assistant professor of History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah. She is Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) and studies historical and contemporary issues of race, indigeneity and science. Alex Golub is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. He is the author of the article "Welcoming the New Amateurs: A future (and past) for non-academic anthropologists" as well as other books and articles. Learn more about your ad choices.
