Last month, the Native American and Indigenous Stud-ies Association named UH Professor Noenoe K. Silva’s book, “Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Co-lonialism,” the most infl uential book in Native American and Indigenous Studies of this decade. “It [“Aloha Betrayed”] really emphasizes the agency of na-tive peoples ... people use it all over the country because of that. I’ve been told that it ’s listed on any course that’s dealing with native issues,” explained Mary L. Baker, a fi rst year Ph.D. student, and Indigenous Politics Research Assistant in the Po-litical Science Department, on why NAISA may have picked Silva’s book for recognition. The prize was awarded based on a vote among the mem-bers of NAISA at their third annual meeting. NAISA is a pro-fessional organization that includes indigenous and non-indig-enous scholars alike who work in the emerging fi elds of Native American and Indigenous studies. “There’s been people studying natives since the time of fi rst contact,” said Baker, “but what scholars like Noenoe are doing is taking it from an indigenous person’s perspective.” Baker hesitated to say that Hawaiians are taking a lead-ing role in indigenous studies, but did say that “as a collective voice I think that Hawaiians are very much involved in it ... It is an exciting time because it ’s emerging and we’re all participat-ing and moving it forward.” In “Aloha Betrayed” Silva refutes the idea that Native Ha-waiians did not resist the overthrow of the monarchy and an-nexation to the U.S. The book begins, “One of the most per-sistent and pernicious myths of Hawaiian history is that the Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) passively accepted the ero-sion of their culture and the loss of their nation.” As evidence against this myth, Silva points to the more than 75 Hawaiian language newspapers that were in circula-tion from 1834 to 1948, many of them political and resistant in nature. Professor Cristina Bacchilega said, “The way in which she makes Hawaiian-language sources the center of her analy-sis has made a difference to scholars, no matter what our disipline is.”

Noenoe Silva’s book “Aloha Betrayed” won national acclaim as a study of the Hawaiian Resistance.

Page 2: Kaleo Friday

In the book, Silva stated, “The myth of nonresis-tance was created in part because mainstream histo-rians have studiously avoided the wealth of material written in Hawaiian ... When the Hawaiian-language materials are examined, however, it is immediately apparent that throughout the eighteenth and nine-teenth centuries there was resistance to every aspect of colonialism, and that for every exertion of oppres-sive and colonizing power there was resistance.” Jon Osorio, professor in the Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, said that Silva’s work “reinforced the literary and cultural and po-litical achievements of Hawaiians in the 19th cen-tury. It makes it undeniable that respect is due to native people who have had to deal with a sudden modernization, and did so gracefully.” Silva also pointed to the suppression of the Ha-waiian language, writing, “One of my goals in this work is to denaturalize these notions and practices [refl ecting a belief that the Hawaiian language is irrelevant], because it is still possible to obtain a doctorate in history specializing in Hawai‘i and not be required to learn the Hawaiian language or use Hawaiian-language sources.” “Especially in the work that she’s doing now, she’s really interested in looking at the intellectual life of Native Hawaiians. I think her work is really important in emphasizing that it was the embrac-

ing of the written word and writing in all these newspapers as a way of transmitting and carrying our knowledge forward,” said Baker. One of Silva’s most important contributions was her discovery of the 1897 anti-annexation peti-tion in the U.S. National Archives while doing re-search for her book. The petition includes 12,269 signatures against annexation, which represents 95 percent of the Native Hawaiian population at the time. “It is really important for Hawaiian sovereignty and for the Hawaiian national case,” said Osorio on the discovery of the petitions. But he explained that in terms of the impact on indigenous studies, Silva’s contribution is greater. “It means nobody gets to tell a story about us without paying attention to the people who were actually telling the story themselves. You don’t get to ignore them,” said Osorio, “that’s major.” In a brief interview, Silva explained, “My hope for the future in both Hawaiian and indigenous studies is two-fold: the first is that more native languages and the different epistemologies they express become more widely spoken and valued as sources of knowledge. The second is that more indigenous individuals and collectives publish their works and that those works are also taken very seriously.”

Los Angeles Times(MCT)

LOS ANGELES – The hacker group LulzSec, which in the past two months has attacked the websites of large corporations and government organizations and raved on Twitter about its ex-ploits, has called it quits. LulzSec said that after 50 days it was time for the group to say “bon voyage,” in what it said was its last news release, posted Saturday on the PasteBin website. “For the past 50 days we’ve been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in be-tween, just because we could,” the group said in its statement. “All to selfl essly entertain others.” LulzSec, which in its state-ment said it was a group of six members and had planned all along on quitting after 50 days, took on the websites and systems of the CIA, the FBI, the Senate, the Arizona Department of Pub-lic Safety, a British police agency, Sony, Fox, PBS, Nintendo, various porn websites and multiple video game servers and websites. Coinciding with its news re-lease, the group posted a fi nal data dump torrent. The fi les have since been removed from the Pirate Bay website, but they contained infor-mation belonging to AOL, AT&T,

the FBI and various other organi-zations, according to an article on the website Techie Blogie. “While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to this identity per-manently,” LulzSec said. “Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people.” The group’s disbandment comes days after the arrest of a teenager in Britain who has been connected to one of LulzSec’s at-tacks. LulzSec is also retiring not too long after the fi rst data dump of Operation Anti-Security, a movement the group began in partnership with the Internet activist group Anonymous that urged hackers everywhere to ac-cess and leak the confi dential information of governments and other large organizations. “We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests it-self into a revolution that can con-tinue on without us,” the group said. “Please don’t stop. Together, united, we can stomp down our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.” The group, which has led to the creation of copycat branches in at least Italy and Brazil, said it hoped to have affected someone, somewhere, in at least a minor way. “Thank you for sailing with us,” it said. “The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we head for the horizon.”

Uncle Clay’s House of Pure Aloha, a store formerly known as Doe Fang, is known for their friendly atmosphere as much as their tasty shave ice creations.

They may not have a huge array of f lavors like other loca-tions around the island, but their syrups are fresh, all-natural, homemade, and made with fruits sourced locally when possible.

My friend and I attended their grand opening on June 18, and entered an atmosphere of laughter, friendly conversations and smiles all around the room. Uncle Clay was at the door greet-ing everyone, while his nephew and co-owner, Bronson Chang, was behind the counter making sure everything was running smoothly and thanking everyone for stopping by.

We ordered a strawberry shave ice with dream sauce, and a lychee shave ice with fresh straw-berries on top. The dream sauce is a winner. You could throw this on any shave ice f lavor and it ’ll make your dessert more irresist-ible than it already is – without the heavy feeling that condensed milk brings.

There’s something about this place and the people in it that make you feel like you’re part of one big ‘ohana. With the motto “let ’s build this house to-gether,” Uncle Clay’s House of Pure Aloha lives by their mis-sion, which is the belief that everyone should be treated like family no matter who you are or where you’re from.

Visit Uncle Clay’s House of Pure Aloha and try their unique shave ice f lavors like you’ve never tasted before, such as their kale-spin, or acai f lavors.

With his second solo album out, Keale

continues to teach and share through

his workJANE AU

Contributing Writer

I fi rst met Walt Mahealani Mix-Kealekupuna, or “Keale,” when I was 14 years old. My Aunty Betty told me to go up to a musi-cian I had never met before and ask him to play a song that my sisters and I could dance hula to. At age 14, the last thing I wanted to do was bother an adult so that I could do a dance for all of fi ve fam-ily members, but having been told to do so, I had no choice.

Reluctantly I went up to the stranger and asked him if he would play “Ka Uluwehi ‘O Ke Kai,” so that we could dance for our family. I was greeted by the kind eyes, exu-berant smile, and warm laugh of a man who clearly loved music. Per-forming with the award-winning band Kaukahi then, Keale played his music while we danced not one, but two songs, and not once did his beaming smile falter.

Now, almost four years later, Keale is no different in his love of sharing music. With his second solo album out, and plans for a third, he continues to teach and pass on his knowledge through song. He is not just an entertainer, but an educator as well.

OUR MEETINGWe met at Ka‘ena Point,

where Keale works as a park rang-er. We were way out in the coun-try with few people around. It was early, unplanned and raining, but none of these things made Keale any less blissful. Sitting in my car to escape the rain, he started by asking me questions about my future plans and ambitions.

He asked about my fam-ily and summer and then quickly added, “Should I have dressed nicer?” and laughed.

It became apparent quite quick-ly that Keale is the type of person you can talk to for hours without having to say anything about yourself. It was also clear that he uses and shares his vast Hawaiian knowledge through his music. When asked the simple question, “Did you write most of the songs yourself?” Keale launched into a 20-minute lesson of the Pele chants, the places, and the kūpuna that he got the ideas for his songs from.

He explained that the title of his new album, “Kawelona,” and many of the song titles are based on the Hawaiian names for the dif-ferent places of the sun in the sky throughout the span of the day.

He disclosed that on Ni‘ihau, kawelona is when the sun begins at a 45-degree angle and does not end when it cannot be seen anymore, but continues on. He offers that “tourists who only watch the sun-set until the sun hits the horizon think it’s ‘done and boring,’” but they are missing out by leaving.

He goes on to share that the

lessons on the album are all con-nected in some way. “They’re all connected, and they are with us, and we are with them,” Keale said.

A NEW ALBUMThe album is a mixture of

songs in Hawaiian and English, and some are even traditional chants that Keale set to music.

“Some people have rules like ‘you’re not supposed to do that,’ and ‘who said so,’ but all I can say is this is what my kupuna gave me,” Keale said.

The hit single on his album, “Ride The Sun,” is not only catchy in a Jack Johnson kind of way, but is also meaningful and lyrically touching. He sees making an al-bum not as a chance to make mon-ey or get his name out there, but as a way to ho‘ike, to share.

“My music is kind of like ... renegade music,” Keale said.

Though very passionate about music now, Keale never wanted to get into a music career. Coming from a family of musicians, (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, or better known as “Iz”, is his fi rst cousin) he felt that the lifestyle wasn’t for him.

“I never wanted to be a musi-cian,” Keale said. “I never want-ed to do this.”

But now, music is his life. With the new album out, he already has plans for a third titled “Piko.”

“‘Itsy Bitsy Spider’ on this

CD is to just say a little bit, to givea little hint about what the nextproject will be,” Keale said.

ʻNO APOLOGIESʼAt this point, the rain has

passed, and blue sky reappears.We stop talking for a moment andenjoy looking at the water, whichwe both agree would be nice toswim in today. Keale shares thatbeing out here so often, he gets alot of time to think.

“I think constantly, I think allday long. I use so many hours tojust think and music becomes abig part of it,” Keale said.

At this moment, I can tell thatall he is striving to do is share. Hetalks about the strength of thekūpuna, and how sharing theirwords is great because “theirwords are beautiful.”

When it comes to his music, Ke-ale shares that he has “no apologiesto make to anybody.” He is free ofboundaries in his creations, and doeswhatever he feels is pono, or correct.

There is a depth to him thatgoes beyond passion for music,and extends to a passion for cul-ture, learning, and teaching. Heexpresses that he has a lot of in-formation to share, and that hedoes so through music ratherthan “preaching about it.”

“Music is the best way toshare,” he said. “As long as I learn,I’ll make music.”

OOPINIONS

SHANE MOORE

Senior Staff Writer The Electronics Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, is an annual gaming convention where various game publishers and designers gather to show off new hardware and software for the up-coming year. Due to its widespread media coverage, E3 is one of the most important events of the year for the gaming industry. Not that you could tell looking at the displays from E3 2011. Viewers were treated to a collection of sequels and near-identical shooters (which, to be fair, were also sequels), with few new independent publishers to speak of. Nintendo’s presentation managed to stun absolutely no one with a collection of games composed entirely of sequels (aside from two re-releases for the 3DS). Several “Mario” titles, from the standard to the offshoots, were an-nounced, including new titles for the “Mario Kart,” “Mario Party,” and “Luigi’s Mansion.” Other predictable big-name sequels included “The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword,” “Kir-by Wii,” “Animal Crossing 3DS,” and “Super Smash Brothers 4.” Their big seller is likely to be “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS”

– more fi tting than they might think, since this is the third time they’ve sold the game. To be fair to Nintendo, they also an-nounced the Wii U, a new system with an even stranger gimmick than the Wii – a touchscreen planted in every controller –which developers are likely to neglect after the fi rst year of its release. While technically a sequel to a 19-year-old game, “Kid Icarus: Uprising” was a relatively new title for Nintendo, though at a fi rst glance it has all the appearances of a typical third-person shooter with Nin-tendo’s cartoon art style. Microsoft gave a similar sequel-laden presentation, only with fewer and less inter-esting titles to show; “Forza Motorsport 4,” “Gears of War 3,” a remake of “Halo: Com-bat Evolved,” and “Halo 4” (technically the sixth fi rst-person shooter in the series), with “Halo” 5 and 6 announced as part of the trilo-gy. Two Kinect games were also announced, “Kinect Sports: Season 2” and “Kinect Dis-neyland Adventures,” which likely slipped from the memory of most viewers as soon as the presentation ended. Not wanting to be left outdone by its competitors, Sony showed off such envelope-pushers as “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Decep-

tion,” “Uncharted: Golden Abyss,” “Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One,” “Resistance 3,” and “God of War: Origins Collection,” a re-release of two “God of War” titles for the PSP on the PS3. The one eye-catching game at Sony’s presen-tation was a PSN-downloadable developed by thatgamecompany, “Journey,” a strange ex-ploration game about a trek through the des-ert, featuring online co-op where the players’ usernames are hidden. Third-party developers managed to put on as boring a show as the Big Three, with interchangable fi rst-person shooters “Call

of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” and “Battle-fi eld 3” making a big showing, alongside such other underwhelming titles as “Far Cry 3,” “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Fu-ture Soldier,” “Call of Juarez: The Cartel,” “Mass Effect 3,” “Brothers in Arms: Furi-ous 4,” and legendary vaporware-made-fl esh “Duke Nukem Forever.” If this year’s E3 presentations say any-thing about the contemporary gaming indus-try, it’s that they’re running out of ideas. It only remains to be seen how long they intend to sell the same old games back to us.

We love food and food loves us. This gastronomic fascination can be seen through the media, with shows such as “Cake Wars,” “Bizarre Foods,” and “Freaky Eaters.” In recent years, our ob-session with organic foods has set a trend that embodies the hierarchy of power throughout America. The organic trend has created a type of hierarchy in the marketplace – those who live “or-ganically” and those who do not. In some markets, organic goods are nearly twice the price of regular goods. The veggies and fruits are nearly half the size of the regular ones, so you get

less for your buck. However, you are paying for the idea of sustain-ability. You’re paying to consume less and waste less. Fruits are supposed to be healthy, right? Not so, asserts Michael Pollan in the book “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto.” According to Pol-lan, over the past 50 years, the amount of nutrients that exists in non-organic fruits has slowly been decreasing. Although Pol-lan lacks scientific credibility, the prospect is horrifying. Or-ganic fruits thus present a solu-tion for some — claiming to be pesticide and steroid free. Organic food swoops in like a hero, allowing consumers to eat guiltlessly. However, this ideal

is shattered by the reality that the “organic” label does not go far enough. It fails to protect la-borers and does not ensure that products are fair trade. The acai berry, promoted as an organic superfood, also results in, “Bra-zilian jungle dwellers [being de-prived] of a protein-rich nutrient they’ve relied on for generations,” according to an article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. If you’re considering hopping on the organic train, I’d say make your buck count. The lesson to take from this trend is simple: Know your food and where it comes from. Make sure you’re paying for something you believe in — whether it be Mother Earth, fair labor or sustainability.

Summers are meant for relaxing. Yet in less than three months, incoming senior quarterback Bry-ant Moniz will begin the biggest season of his football career. “I haven’t thought about it too much. I’m just excited to get into the games already,” Moniz said. “I’m just ready to play and that ’s what I’m really looking forward to, just getting back onto the field.” Moniz led the nation last sea-son with 360 passing yards per game, 367.3 total offensive yards per game, and 39 passing touch-downs. He also became the sec-ond quarterback in school history to pass for over 5,000 yards in a season with 5,040. ESPN has placed Moniz as one of eight quarterbacks on the Heis-man Watch List for the 2011 season. “It’s more motivation for me,” Moniz said. “I don’t exactly think about – or I only get reminded of it – when people bring it up and let me know. It’s not really on my mind right now. If we can have a good season and we play good, then that kind of stuff will just come second nature.”

A TYPICAL DAY Despite all success of last sea-son, Moniz is using the summer to prepare himself for the Sept. 3 opener against Colorado on ESPN. “We have workouts in the morn-ing with [UH strength coordinator] Tommy [Heffernan] then after that we have running and some days we’ll throw,” Moniz said. “I have summer school Mondays, Wednes-days and Fridays and then I try to get another workout in at night – just a light workout.”

FOOTBALL OFF-SEASON Head coach Greg McMackin stressed the need to succeed in the classroom year-round to his football

team. He feels summertime is a good time to get caught up with classes. “Our guys are going to sum-mer school,” McMackin said. “We’ve made summer school available for them so that they can work on their credits and do better in school. We had seven guys working on their master’s [degree] this last year and I really believe it’s because of our summer school program.” But with the football season just around the corner, McMack-in also wants his players to stay in good condition. “They’ll go out on their own and not only lift weights but go through agility drills and that type of thing with the strength people, and then they also go 7-on-7 by themselves. So the DBs [defensive backs] and lineback-ers will go against the receiv-ers,” McMackin said. “But again, that’s all voluntary.” Volunteering is something the coaches highly suggest because they cannot practice with the team until early August. “Coaches can’t coach during the summer but our strength coaches can,” McMackin said. “Tommy Heffernan and his assis-tants are working out our team.”

Kolten Wong made it offi cial Saturday after signing with the St. Louis Cardinals for a reported $1.3 million signing bonus.

Wong, the 22nd pick in the 2011 Major League Baseball draft, f lew to St. Louis on Sat-urday to seal the deal with the Cardinals. The Hilo native com-pleted his three-year Hawai‘i career having started 178 games with a .358 batting average, and

25 home runs and 145 RBIs.Wong reported to the Cardi-

nals’ affi liate, Class A Quad Cities, on Monday.

“I’m first and foremost happy for Kolten and his fam-ily,” head coach Mike Trapasso said. “[The St. Louis Cardinals] is a great organization. Well, of course I’m biased because I’m from St. Louis, but we’re happy he’s going to be [with them].”

LINSKY SIGNEDFellow All-Western Athletic

Conference selection Lenny Lin-sky offi cially signed with the Tampa Bay Rays last Friday. A na-tive of Palos Verdes, Calif., Linsky completed his three-year career at Hawai‘i with a 2.73 earned run average in 68 appearances, and 95.2 innings pitched.

Linsky reported for his as-signment with the Hudson Valley Renegades, the Rays’ single-A af-filiate, in the New York area.

“We have a good chance to see Lenny on the fast track to the big leagues,” Trapasso said.
