--> Create a video in Quicktime responding to this question: How did/does Colonizaiton and Imperialism continue to impact any cultural conflict happening in the last 3 years in Hawaii? How does this make you feel? How do you think our aliʻi would react to this challenge? What should we do about it? video response: -it impacts the overthrow -maunakea protest -military -our ali'i would react in a way that was disapointing & kapu aloha. -we should stand up to our rights & protest peacfully. last three years, maunakea protest, job loss, homeless, & the rights of the native hawaiians and not getting respect. everything being taken away. I think colonization sets up & impacts my kahiau project because women & men were treated differently & all throughout history we see the repetition of gender roles & their effects on the people/ It hurts our modern efforts to meet these challenges because people still have the mindset that women & men should be treated differently & they are often unfair. It is harder now to show people what is right & that we should all be given equal opportunities but some people do not think this way. It is the fact that because in the past we have done these horrible things they stick with us throughout history & continue till this day. Although now in the modern days we don't hear a lot about how genders get mistreated & they have to follow certain gender roles, doesn't mean it isn't happening somewhere around the world. The fact that history repeats itself is the cause & why it might not ever change the view points of some people. https://www.aclumaine.org/en/news/celebrate-womens-suffrage-dont-whitewash-movements-racism Imperialism changes our understanding of these things in History through the lens on culture in our community by helping us see how the indigenous people felt and the effects that it has on their culture over time. I think that it helps & deters us from finding a solution to these problems in Hawai'i because it helps everyone understand that when we protest or share our culture it was because we fought to save the last bit of culture that was left from being taken away and we cherish it more. It also discourages us from a solution because it still happens to this day for example the Maunakea protest. When you want to take the very place where Hawaiians deem the most sacred place on the island it angers & saddens many that have witness the past history of their land rights being taken away. But the past also encourages them to fight for their land & culture which the past helped us find the solution to the current problem. Hawaiians do not want to repeat history & have not only their culture striped from them but also their home & where they grew up so I think TMT for us was the last straw and made us realize that if we keep letting them step over us & let them build another telescope it will just happen again and again. It changes the views of imperialisms by making it look like it was a good thing that happened. https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2019/07/16/hawaii-news/our-last-stand-hundreds-of-tmt-protesters-block-maunakea-access-road/ Previous
