“Guarding against green colonialism in Hawai’i,” April 1. As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, Dr. Noelani Goodyear-Ka’opua will give a webinar titled “E kūkulu nā kiaʻi: guarding against green colonialism in Hawaiʻi.” Register here. This talk will explore two recent, interconnected land struggles in Hawaiʻi — one over the proposed Thirty-Meter Telescope on Maunakea, and the other over a renewable energy project on Oʻahu. This presentation will situate the Kahuku wind farm issue in a longer history of contention over the “green colonialism” of renewable energy projects that have failed to include predominantly-Indigenous Hawaiian communities in the planning. The Hawaiian cultural concepts of kiaʻi, kūkulu, and aloha ʻāina, as they have informed the practices of protectors, will frame the discussion.
