"From Where I Sit: Entwined Histories, Navigating Winds of Change, and Redefining Kuleana"

"Entwined Histories" means that the most comprehensive interpretations of the Hawai'i past can be produced in acknowledgement of the people who at different times came to reside on the same islands and live together in relative harmony and not. The stories of those people can be seen from the islands looking out to the horizon using the metaphor of an ageless kanaka maoli (native Hawaiian) family that sees everything which has transpired here from antiquity and first landfall of the first canoe to the most recent arrival of a jet aircraft from somewhere else in the world. In the sum of this historical experience from the perspective of those with the longest view, and in certain instances, those with the most recent, to build that body of descriptions, analyses, and interpretations of nearly two millennia of human experience on this land and its surrounding seas is the primary goal. Island residents, regardless of race, creed, gender, or socioeconomic status contribute something to every definition of human identity in what is Indigenous, National, Local, and American. This is the context for redefining my own kuleana in service to this University. It means, in essence, answering a call to facilitate through teaching, research, and community service, the histories of these islands and their people.
