"Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation for Island Earth" w/ Dr. Kaiwipuni Lipe

  • Summary

  • IDEAS EXPLORED INCLUDE:The answers to climate crises held in Hawaiian Culture.Racism, settler colonialism, and the erasure of indigenous people as root causes of climate change and other crises.How we might close the gap between different value systems and world views (the word "Sustainability" is  inadequate for what is called for in this time).Connecting the dots between the "isms": capitalism, racism, settler colonialism, etc.Experiences of being multi-racial in Australia and Hawaiʻi.Creating a future in which everyone in Hawaiʻi knew how to live into Hawaiian concepts whether they were Hawaiian or not.Envisioning a future  university in which anyone, regardless of their backgrounds, know how to aloha ʻāīna together (be in deep, loving relationship and reciprocity with our environments).Responding to Climate Change by working to change hearts & minds.Dynamic fluidity of positionality based on proximity to knowledge earned through lived experience: when to defer, when to invite?Moʻokūauhau, Kaikana, Kaikuaʻana and Kuleana: how Hawaiian perspectives help us to understand that you are always in relationship with something.Healing ourselves through recognizing our common humanity, and the value of the non-human world.Willingness, discipline and humility as preconditions for healing.Enhancing sensemaking capacity & distributed cognition within a team by equipping team members with tools to recognize  our roles & responsibilities to each other.(K)new ways of being can call forth ways of being that used to flourish in this place which are sorely needed in this time.Exploring our stories to understand our entanglement in complex & unhealthy systems.Fractals, and why they are useful for this work.Create conditions for transformation to occur.Universal principles lend themselves to infinite means of expression; when the expression of a principle is not fit to context, there are consequences.Connecting restoration of the natural world to healing ourselves: Love land, serve people. Love people, serve land.We cannot fight something that we created: if we are going to heal our planet, we need to heal ourselves.RESOUCES:Video of this conversation.Erik Assadourian (Punihei's friend who talks about climate change)Punihei's research "How Do We Transform the University of Hawai‘i at Mänoa into a Hawaiian Place of Learning?"Hōkūleʻa Worldwide Voyage"Beyond Sustainability: The Story of a Reformed Capitalist" TEDxHonoluluAPHA TRHT Presentation "Racial Healing For Ourselves, Our Communities and Our Future"Civil Beat Article by Punihei's Dad"Emergent Strategy", adrienne marie brownNalani MintonManulani Aluli MeyerCREDITS:Image: via Canva.Music: "Emergence" by Invincible+Waajeed courtesy of EmergenceMedia.orgMusic: "Good Enough" by Doctabarz courtesy of Zenbu RecordsMusic: "In The End" by Lucie & The Perfect Wave, courtesy of #lucielynchmusicProduced by: Daniel Gilad, DG Sound CreationsPublished by: Beautiful Emergence Records
