鈥淗awai驶iloa and the End of the Kanaka Diaspora鈥 / Michael David Kaulana Ing, Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, Indiana University / Cosponsored by Hamilton Library, the Spark M. Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution, Hui 驶膧ina Pilipili: Native Hawaiian Initiative, the Hawai驶inui膩kea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, and the Departments of Religion, Ethnic Studies, and Political Science / Thursday, February 17 at 12PM to 1:15PM (HST) on Zoom / Zoom Meeting ID: 967 2316 5685 / Password: 493614 / Meeting link: https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96723165685 / Approximately half of Kanaka (Hawaiians) live beyond the islands of Hawai驶i but these off-island Kanaka are not always recognized as a significant part of the L膩hui (Hawaiian community), where discourses of identity often privilege 鈥渞ootedness鈥 to the islands over the 鈥渞outedness鈥 of Kanaka living abroad. Articulating a culture of mobility in Kanaka terminology shows how Kanaka around the world count within the L膩hui. This presentation will explore the mo驶olelo (account) of Hawai驶iloa as a way of showing that our k奴puna (ancestors) traveled across their known world establishing multiple 鈥淗awai驶is鈥 and that they sought out knowledge from beyond the islands of Hawai驶i to enrich the L膩hui. / Michael David Kaulana Ing resides on the land of the Miami, Delaware, Potawatomi, and Shawnee where he is an associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Indiana University. He received his PhD from Harvard University in 2011. Long before that, he and his k奴puna were raised by the '膩ina of Hawai驶i.
