How does Colonization set up or impact your Kahiau Project topic as we see it globally throughout our study of history? Does this help or hurt our modern efforts to meet these challenges? Explain how or why? The impacts of colonization and imperialism continue to majorly impact my Planet911 project focus, life below water. Some ways that this shows is in overfishing, pollution and sea level rising. Colonization and Imperialism changed Hawaiʻis way of life, originally there were strict laws about overfishing, and in ancient times there were kapus to keep the ocean full, but when Hawaiʻi was stolen our laws were abolished and fishing companies used capitalism to take advantage of our ecosystem. The waste that was being caused by these companies from company waste, boats, and packaging also went into the ocean causing pollution. All of this adds to climate change and makes our sea levels rise. In the Safavid empire, they colonized places instead of them being colonized, and they destroyed other cultures and religions negatively impacting the land that was being taken care of by those people. How did/does Imperialism change our understanding of these things in History through the lens of our cultural history of language, culture, and activism in the community? Does it help us or deter us from navigating for a solution to these problems here in Hawaiʻi? Explain why. Add Pic, site sources for both paragraph & picture Imperialism changes our understanding of things in History through the lens of our cultural history of language, culture, activism in the community by taking away all of the things that I consider culturally important. Imperialism impacted Hawiʻi when we were illegally overthrown and because of the American government, we almost lost our language, traditional practices, and to be proud to be Hawaiian. This connects to me, so I understand how hurtful and detrimental it can be to have this conflict in your life, and I am lucky because my ancestors were treated so much worse. This has happened so many places in the world and not all places were lucky enough to still have their culture today like Hawaiʻi is. This can help us learn from the past and prevent ever loosing a culture and standing up for people who can not stand up for themselves. We can protest and fight for what is important. Citations

Art is a beautiful way to express the way you feel about different things, and many people use their talent to help others. There are so many people who make so many different types of art to protest different situations. There are the Black Lives matter artworks that display all of the victims whoʻs lives were taken. There is the Stop Asian Hate protests art showing how they are being prejudiced because of Covid-19, and of course there is Mauna Kea. Art can be a made out of anything and mean anything that the creator wants, and because of World History we have created a simple art piece showing just that, anything is art.
