"The Value of Hawaii: Knowing the Past, Shaping the Future" by Craig Howes andJon Osorio is a thought-provoking exploration of the social, cultural, political, and economic issues facing Hawaii. Through a collection of essays from diverse voices, Osorio delves into the complex history and contemporary challenges of the Hawaiian Islands, offering insightful perspectives on topics such as land rights, sovereignty, tourism, environmental conservation, and indigenous culture. With a blend of academic rigor and personal reflection, Osorio highlights the interconnectedness of past injustices and present-day struggles while advocating for a more equitable and sustainable future for Hawaii's people and land. By critically examining the legacies of colonialism and capitalism while centering the voices of indigenous Hawaiians, "The Value of Hawaii" serves as a call to action for fostering greater understanding, empathy, and solidarity among all residents of Hawaii.
"The Value of Hawai'i 2: Ancestral Roots, Oceanic Visions" is a sequel to the original book edited by Aiko Yamashiro and Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua. It continues the exploration of critical issues facing Hawai'i through a collection of essays, poems, and artwork from a diverse array of contributors. This volume delves deeper into topics such as land and water rights, indigenous knowledge and practices, environmental conservation, social justice, and the ongoing impacts of colonialism and globalization on Hawai'i's communities. Through a blend of academic analysis, personal narratives, and creative expression, "The Value of Hawai'i 2" offers profound insights into the complexities of Hawaiian identity and the challenges and opportunities for creating a more just and sustainable future. It serves as a powerful testament to the resilience, wisdom, and creativity of Hawai'i's people and their enduring connection to the land and oceanic environment.
"Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Colonialism" is a book written by Noenoe K. Silva. It examines the history of Native Hawaiian resistance to American colonialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Silva challenges the traditional narrative that presents Native Hawaiians as passive victims of colonization and instead highlights the agency and resilience of Hawaiian leaders and activists who actively resisted American efforts to impose control over the islands. The book explores various forms of resistance, including legal challenges, protests, and cultural revitalization movements, shedding light on the complex dynamics of power and resistance in Hawai'i's colonial history. "Aloha Betrayed" provides valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for Native Hawaiian sovereignty and self-determination, offering a nuanced understanding of the impact of colonialism on the Hawaiian Islands and its indigenous people.
"From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawai'i" is a seminal work by Haunani-Kay Trask, a Native Hawaiian scholar and activist. In this book, Trask offers a powerful critique of colonialism and its effects on the indigenous people of Hawai'i. Drawing on historical research, personal experiences, and cultural analysis, Trask exposes the ongoing impacts of colonialism on Hawaiian society, culture, and identity. She addresses issues such as land dispossession, cultural commodification, environmental degradation, and the erasure of Native Hawaiian voices and perspectives. Trask also advocates for Native Hawaiian sovereignty and self-determination, challenging dominant narratives and calling for decolonization and the restoration of Hawaiian independence. "From a Native Daughter" is a groundbreaking work that continues to inspire and inform discussions about indigenous rights, decolonization, and social justice in Hawai'i and beyond.
In Paradoxes of Hawaiian Sovereignty J. Kēhaulani Kauanui examines contradictions of indigeneity and self-determination in U.S. domestic policy and international law. She theorizes paradoxes in the laws themselves and in nationalist assertions of Hawaiian Kingdom restoration and demands for U.S. deoccupation, which echo colonialist models of governance. Kauanui argues that Hawaiian elites' approaches to reforming and regulating land, gender, and sexuality in the early nineteenth century that paved the way for sovereign recognition of the kingdom complicate contemporary nationalist activism today, which too often includes disavowing the indigeneity of the Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiian) people. Problematizing the ways the positing of the Hawaiian Kingdom's continued existence has been accompanied by a denial of U.S. settler colonialism, Kauanui considers possibilities for a decolonial approach to Hawaiian sovereignty that would address the privatization and capitalist development of land and the ongoing legacy of the imposition of heteropatriarchal modes of social relations.
Cattle Colonialism: An Environmental History of the Conquest of California and Hawai'i (Flows, Migrations, and Exchanges)
Hardcover – Illustrated
October 26, 2015
by John Ryan Fischer (Author)
In the nineteenth century, the colonial territories of California and Hawai'i underwent important cultural, economic, and ecological transformations influenced by an unlikely factor: cows.
The creation of native cattle cultures, represented by the Indian vaquero and the Hawaiian paniolo, demonstrates that California Indians and native Hawaiians adapted in ways that allowed them to harvest the opportunities for wealth that these unfamiliar biological resources presented.
But the imposition of new property laws limited these indigenous responses, and Pacific cattle frontiers ultimately became the driving force behind Euro-American political and commercial domination, under which native residents lost land and sovereignty and faced demographic collapse.
Environmental historians have too often overlooked California and Hawai'i, despite the roles the regions played in the colonial ranching frontiers of the Pacific World. In Cattle Colonialism, John Ryan Fischer significantly enlarges the scope of the American West by examining the trans-Pacific transformations these animals wrought on local landscapes and native economies.
Then There Were None
Hardcover
October 1, 2003
by Martha H. Noyes (Author)
Then There Were None, by award-winning Honolulu writer and artist Martha H. Noyes, is a personal and emotional account, in words and pictures, of the effect of Western contact on the Hawaiian population. Drawing from a variety of sources, Noyes chronicles the effects, from the arrival of Capt. Cook to the present, of disease, written language, the missionaries, landownership, the overthrow of the monarchy, and the suppression of hula and Hawaiian language, concluding with a look at present-day activism. Photographs vividly contrast tourist images with scenes from the real Hawaii and highlight the contrast between a culture rooted in cosmology and the material culture of those who made Hawaii their own.
Remembering Our Intimacies: Mo'olelo, Aloha 'Aina, and Ea (Indigenous Americas)
Paperback
September 28, 2021
by Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio (Author)
Hawaiian “aloha ʻāina” is often described in Western political terms—nationalism, nationhood, even patriotism. In Remembering Our Intimacies, Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio centers in on the personal and embodied articulations of aloha ʻāina to detangle it from the effects of colonialism and occupation. Working at the intersections of Hawaiian knowledge, Indigenous queer theory, and Indigenous feminisms, Remembering Our Intimacies seeks to recuperate Native Hawaiian concepts and ethics around relationality, desire, and belonging firmly grounded in the land, memory, and the body of Native Hawai’i.
Remembering Our Intimacies argues for the methodology of (re)membering Indigenous forms of intimacies. It does so through the metaphor of a ‘upena—a net of intimacies that incorporates the variety of relationships that exist for Kānaka Maoli. It uses a close reading of the moʻolelo (history and literature) of Hiʻiakaikapoliopele to provide context and interpretation of Hawaiian intimacy and desire by describing its significance in Kānaka Maoli epistemology and why this matters profoundly for Hawaiian (and other Indigenous) futures.
Offering a new approach to understanding one of Native Hawaiians’ most significant values, Remembering Our Intimacies reveals the relationships between the policing of Indigenous bodies, intimacies, and desires; the disembodiment of Indigenous modes of governance; and the ongoing and ensuing displacement of Indigenous people.

I Ulu I Ka ‘Āina: Land (Hawai‘inuiākea)
Paperback – Illustrated
December 31, 2013
by Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo‘ole Osorio (Editor), Carlos Andrade (Contributor), & 7 more
I Ulu I Ka ‘Āina: Land, the second publication in the Hawai‘inuiākea series, tackles the subject of the Kanaka (Hawaiian) connection to the ‘āina (land) through articles, poetry, art, and photography. From the remarkable cover illustration by artist April Drexel to the essays in this volume, there is no mistaking the insistent affirmation that Kanaka are inseparable from the ‘āina. This work calls the reader to acknowledge the Kanaka’s intimate connection to the islands. The alienation of ‘āina from Kanaka so accelerated and intensified over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that there are few today who consciously recognize the enormous harm that has been done physically, emotionally, and spiritually by that separation.
The evidence of harm is everywhere: crippled and dysfunctional families, rampant drug and alcohol abuse, disproportionately high incidences of arrest and incarceration, and alarming health and mortality statistics, some of which may be traced to diet and lifestyle, which themselves are traceable to the separation from ‘āina. This volume articulates the critical needs that call the Kanaka back to the ‘āina and invites the reader to remember the thousands of years that our ancestors walked, named, and planted the land and were themselves planted in it.

Around the World With a King
by William N. Armstrong, Introduction by Glen Grant
Paperback (May 1995)
Mutual Pub Co; ISBN: 156647017X
A fascinating travelogue of the first monarch to circumnavigate the globe, as Kalakaua sought to increase the strength of Hawaii's international recognition. His Majesty was received graciously and ceremoniously in many nations from Asia to Europe, and impressed all those he met with his eloquence and charisma. The narrative is written by a non-Hawaiian minister who accompanied the King on his travels, and in his own biases against the Polynesian worldview he further reveals some of the dynamics at work toward the end of the de facto sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
