Resources on HKT

I am enjoying reading the posts so far and am looking forward to our discussion today. Here are a couple of resources on HKT. These may be especially helpful for those who are less familiar with her work.

Haunani-Kay Trasks official website

Videos:

1982 speech: highlights the importance of raising up new leaders by rotating leadership; the need to "do our own dishes"--donʻt rely on others to do it for us; and the ways that Kanaka present and represent the alternative to business-as-usual development and politics in Hawaiʻi.

This includes some footage from 1985 speech by HKT. She emphasizes the importance of seeing how culture is political and politics is cultural. She also emphasizes the centrality of aloha ʻāina as a foundational political ethic and talks about the importance of LAND in indigenous political struggles.
The video also includes an excerpt from her 1993 speech at the Onipaʻa march.

The majority of the footage is from a 2010 interview between Eiko Kosasa (a graduate from our PhD program) and Prof. Trask.
