N脛聛 W脛聛hine Koa: Hawaiian Women for Sovereignty and Demilitarization documents the political lives of Moanike芒鈧渁la Akaka, Maxine Kahaulelio, Terrilee Keko芒鈧渙lani-Raymond, and Loretta Ritte, four w脛聛hine koa who emerged as movement organizers in the 1970s. While their lives and political work took different paths, they have maintained strong commitments to aloha 脢禄脛聛ina throughout their lives. Combining life writing, photos, political testimonies and other ephemera, the book offers a vivid picture of women in Hawaiian movements for justice, demilitarization, and sovereignty.In this talk and in the book, I center the memories of Hawaiian women activists, who have been marginalized by sexist ways of memorializing the movement. I argue that these w脛聛hine koa offer us futurities that reorient emplaced relationships between pasts and futures through aloha 脢禄脛聛ina. I also grapple with the question of why, in Hawaiian scholarship and activism, aloha 脢禄脛聛ina needs mana wahine and a Hawaiian feminist analysis.
