Haunani-Kay Trask’s scholarship and poetry grew out of her profound understanding that the moʻolelo, chants, and songs about the akua, the deities who are the elemental energies, recorded ancestral knowledges that would inspire the lāhui to move forward into the decolonial future. Her poetry moved to decenter a history of settler colonialism, instead articulating a Kānaka Maoli worldview that recognizes that the akua are still here, even if their names had been forgotten by many. Dr. Trask’s own aloha ʻāina activism informs her poetry as she stood to protect her home on the edge of the Heʻeia wetlands from the development of a golf course, and the fishpond stands today, feeding the people physically, spiritually, and imaginatively.
Haunani-Kay Trask的学识和诗歌源于她深刻的理解,即关于akua(元素能量的神)的mo oi olelo,圣歌和歌曲记录了祖先的知识,这些知识将激励lāhui走向非殖民化的未来。她的诗歌不再关注移民殖民主义的历史,而是表达了Kānaka毛利人的世界观,承认阿库阿人仍然在这里,尽管他们的名字已经被许多人遗忘了。查斯克博士自己的“阿罗哈岛āina”行动主义为她的诗歌提供了灵感,当时她站起来保护自己位于贺岛湿地边缘的家,不受高尔夫球场开发的影响,而今天的鱼塘仍然存在,为人们提供物质、精神和想象力的食物。

This article is from a Native daughter’s Native daughter. Interspersing poetry and prose, I share some of the lessons I learned from Kumu Haunani-Kay. I also discuss how her activism, teaching, and written work have served as contributions to her role not only as Kumu but also as a Native daughter, who essentially mothered other Native daughters of Oceania—such as myself, a Chamoru woman from Guåhan—who now continue the work that she so bravely and so fiercely started. Her life and contributions taught us of our responsibility to our respective communities and homelands as well as to our other siblings across Oceania.

For Indigenous Pacific peoples, including those from islands and from coastal regions, it is the ocean that carries our stories through the currents. This article centers Haunani-Kay Trask’s work and the Pacific not as a place of separation but as a place of connection among Indigenous people using Kānaka Maoli and Coastal Chumash people as examples. Trask’s poetry and other literary work is discussed as a form of Indigenous resistance alongside personal narrative to thread the stories together, highlighting the ways in which militarization and other settler colonial practices have been used to limit the sovereign rights of Indigenous people.
对于太平洋土著人民,包括来自岛屿和沿海地区的土著人民来说,正是海洋将我们的故事带过了洋流。本文以Kānaka Maoli和Coastal Chumash人为例,将Haunani Kay Trask的作品和太平洋作为一个土著人之间的联系之地,而不是一个分离之地。特拉斯克的诗歌和其他文学作品被视为土著抵抗的一种形式,与个人叙事一起将故事串联在一起,突出了军事化和其他定居者殖民做法被用来限制土著人民主权的方式。

In 2018, the authors were invited to share their perspectives as Indigenous studies scholars to the work of Breakthrough Listen, an organization affiliated with both the Berkeley SETI Research Center (BSRC) and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). This collectively authored statement highlights some of the ethical concerns these authors perceived regarding the history colonialism and the expectations to find “advanced” or “intelligent” extraterrestrial life. A prologue contextualizes the short working group statement and we then provide the unedited original statement in its entirety.

Astronomers conducting searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) have long been interested in the history of “first contact” between foreign civilizations as a proxy for extraterrestrial contact and have often employed frontier metaphors and colonial analogies in their pursuit of extraterrestrials. This article shows this language was more than mere rhetoric; drawing from the history of Orientalism and the US frontier, this article investigates SETI’s physical and disciplinary homes, ultimately arguing that, even when attempting to convey universality, SETI scientist’s pursuit of the alien was shaped by cultural power structures such as gender and colonialism.

This article posits that the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life (SETI) remains grounded in a hierarchical and progressivist worldview that has fueled colonialism throughout history. Building upon the work of Enrique Dussel and Arthur Lovejoy in particular, the author demonstrates how previous earthly explorations produced a covering over of others, rather than a “discovery.” Those working in SETI fields must consider these histories. This article advocates for more engagement with Indigenous studies scholarship to reach a genuine frontier—a metaparadigm shift beyond object-oriented scientific methods, which are a key component of what the author calls “settler science.”
