Kalaniākea translates as Sky Father, descended from the heavens. He traces his genealogy to the origin of the Hawaiian race over 25,000 years ago. Hawaiian society developed into a highly sophisticated society over millennia and thrived in the middle of the largest ocean in the Pacific. Soon after contact, Hawaiian chiefs won recognition under international law as the Hawaiian Kingdom. The U.S. invasion on January 16, 1893, initiated a state of war that continues today. Genocidal policies have persisted through the establishment of the territory in 1900 and statehood in 1959. Kalaniākea will outline this history and its ongoing consequences, based on his PhD dissertation research. He will lift up contemporary movements to defend Native Hawaiians’ rights to land, language, culture, and sovereignty.

This event is taking the place of the previously-planned event: Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka ʻĀina I Ka Pono, the Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness, which needed to be postponed for medical reasons.
