Dr. Trask was born on October 3, 1949 into a political family with genealogical ties to the ruling chiefs of Maui and Kaua驶i islands. She dedicated much of her life to the uplifting of the native people of this land and helped raise generations of Aloha 驶膧ina leaders, many of whom fight vigorously today to protect Hawai驶i's lands, water, oceans, and sacred cultural sites and places. Her life's work of speeches and writings have had a rippling effect, inspiring and empowering thousands of native voices calling out for justice, landback, and independence. This talk will explore the effects she has had on the collective political consciousness of her people struggling to break free from the charred chains of colonialism. / Healani Sonoda-Pale is a citizen leader of Ka L膩hui Hawai驶i a native initiative for self-determination and self-governance. She was born and raised on the island of O驶ahu where her ancestors lived from time immemorial. For over 25 years Healani has served as an educator who has taught at Hawaiian immersion preschools and Hawai驶i high schools and colleges. Currently, she is an outspoken advocate for the protection of Hawaiian lands, water, ocean resources and marine life, and iwi k奴puna. Healani sits on various community boards and is a member of the O驶ahu Water Protectors, a group of leaders who are calling for the shut down of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.
