Hālāwai Proudly Presents Hawaiian and Tahitian Mythology: Ancestral Gods as Symbols of Scientific Knowledge and Temples as Sacred Spaces for Learning Ancestral Lessons Saturday, April 24, 2010 Free! Please RSVP your attendance by clicking here to send an email. Mahalo! Speaker Biography Trained as a historian, she is also an expert in Hawaiian cultural traditions, and in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, and has served as executive producer of the 2005 DVD Natives in New York, Seeking Justice at the United Nations, and as co-scriptwriter of the 1993 award winning documentary An Act of War: The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation. Her books include Nā Wāhine Kapu: Sacred Hawaiian Women [1999], He Mo'olelo Ka'ao o Kamapua'a: A Legendary Traditional of Kamapua'a, the Hawaiian Pig-God [1996], and Native Land and Foreign Desires: Pehea Lā E Pono Ai? [1992]. Fluent in Hawaiian, she has served as protocol officer and crew for the double hulled Polynesian Voyaging Canoes Hōkūle'a and Hawai’iloa, and with master navigator Nainoa Thompson, has written the first year long course in Traditional Navigation offered at any university in the world. Since 1987, she has written another dozen courses in Hawaiian history, mythology and culture for the Center for Hawaiian Studies. Her course, Hwst 107: Hawaiʻi, Center of the Pacific, has become the most popular course ever taught at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa, currently being offered to 1100 students in 32 class sections each semester. Over the years she has attended United Nations forums on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva, and since May 2001, when she witnessed the inaugural session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, she has taken young Hawaiians yearly to present interventions in that forum calling for the decolonization of Hawai’i. Most recently, she has been asked to serve as a Cultural Expert on Taputapuatea, an ancient Polynesian temple and place of learning, for UNESCOʻs World Heritage Site Committee, that seeks to preserve sacred sites for all humanity to learn from. Dr. Kameʻeleihiwa reminds us that Hawaiians are doubly blessed in that they have oral histories going back 900 generations, still celebrate their ancient traditions, especially those used in celestial navigation and in sustainable lifestyles, and that when all of the Hawaiian newspapers are digitized, there will be one million more pages to read of Hawaiian ancestral wisdom. What an excellent time to be a Hawaiian academic! Start: 4:30 pm
