Department of Philosophy Colloquium Series for Indigenous Philosophy Speaker: Kaipulaumakaniolono Keala Abstract: K膩naka Maoli are disproportionately affected by attacks on 驶膩ina in that it directly affects our means of production (especially of subsistence and housing), the onslaught on 驶膩ina is inevitably an attack on K膩naka Maoli. With this identification of k膩naka and 驶膩ina, Kanaka Maoli responses to these issues are largely founded on a language of identity. Is this identification, however, consistent with 驶艑iwi thought? In this presentation I will argue categorically "no." I will demonstrate that 驶艑iwi thought is founded on non-identity: the emergence of k膩naka from nature is conceived primarily as a constitutional estrangement and alienation in the 驶艑iwi mind.
