“…Arguably, before settler colonialism was coined by the late Patrick Wolfe (2006), Indigenous Peoples had long described and critiqued the formation of the U. S. as a settler-nationstate. My first recognition of this articulation came from reading the late Haunani K. Trasks' description of the annexation of Hawai'i in From a Native Daughter (Trask, 1999). Over the last few decades, the field of settler colonial studies has grown immensely, with scholars making clear distinctions between colonialism and settler colonialism.…”

“…Haunani-Kay Trask showed that Indigenous people need to work together and support one another in each other' s liberation. 15 She emphasized the links among empire, military, and environmental degradation in the Pacific and the similar à à à and unique ways that Indigenous people resist and thrive all over the world. As a co-founder of Ka Lāhui Hawai'i, she forged links to Indigenous communities internationally, including those in Moku Honu-Turtle Island.…”

Haunani-Kay Trask’s theorizations of settler colonialism, Indigenous feminisms, and community-grounded political work produces scholars, thinkers, and activists, including many Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders, and Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. Her teachings and work with Ka Lāhui Hawai‘i emphasized the need to build relationalities among Indigenous communities. This essay builds on Trask’s critical interventions and theorizations of settler colonialism, to ask how Hawaiians at home and in the diaspora can further Trask’s scholarship and political organizing, incorporating trans-Indigenous recognitions. I document these relationalities among Native nations and other Pacific Islanders as an embodiment of the legacies of Haunani-Kay Trask, including her theorization of settler colonialism and the groundwork she laid for Indigenous feminism. In this way, I link her teachings as slyly reproductive at creating generative futures beyond the settler state.

“…We are not happy Natives." 11 Land theft for plantations, the tourist industry, and military testing continues to weigh heavily on Kānaka Maoli lives, lands, and paradigms. This is not a joyful exchange for the rights to self-governance and self-determination.…”

“…As Trask points out, these undertakings are u.s. political posturing at the expense of Indigenous people. 19 Trask was a fierce activist calling for the demilitarization of the Hawaiian Islands through much of her life, often citing the exploitation and risks faced by Indigenous people due to military occupation. Trask argues, "Increased militarization of the region holds the potential for increased dispossession of Pacific Islanders as bases, ports, storage and testing sites, and residential areas are taken for ' defense' purposes.…”

“…The prostitute is a woman who sells sexual capacities and is seen, thereby, to possess and reproduce them at will, that is, by her very 'nature.'" 33 As an Indigenous woman, Trask describes the same type of degradation of Hawaiian lands, cultures, waters, and people. The nature of the lands and waters render themselves available in similar ways to tourists.…”

For Indigenous Pacific peoples, including those from islands and from coastal regions, it is the ocean that carries our stories through the currents. This article centers Haunani-Kay Trask’s work and the Pacific not as a place of separation but as a place of connection among Indigenous people using Kānaka Maoli and Coastal Chumash people as examples. Trask’s poetry and other literary work is discussed as a form of Indigenous resistance alongside personal narrative to thread the stories together, highlighting the ways in which militarization and other settler colonial practices have been used to limit the sovereign rights of Indigenous people.
