Placed-Based Book Club: Waiwai - Water and the Future

November 12, 11:00am - 12:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Queen Lili'uokalani Center for Student Services (QLC) 412

Read Waiwai, then join an intimate conversation with two extraordinary voices whose scholarship, leadership, and community-engaged work have helped shape how Hawaiʻi understands, protects, and cares for its wai.

Dean Kamanamaikalani Beamer, editor of Waiwai and Dean of Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, is a Native Hawaiian scholar and leader whose work bridges ancestral knowledge, governance, aloha ʻāina, and contemporary resource stewardship. His years of public service and scholarship have helped advance the restoration and protection of Hawaiʻi’s wai.

Professor D. Kapuaʻala Sproat, Director of Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law and Professor at the William S. Richardson School of Law, has devoted decades of scholarship, teaching, advocacy, and legal practice to Native Hawaiian rights, water law, and the protection of Hawaiʻi’s natural and cultural resources.

Together, we will reflect on wai, aloha ʻāina, justice, stewardship, and kuleana and consider what these ideas mean for each of us as educators, scholars, community members, and people who call Hawaiʻi home.

Come ready to listen, question, share, and talk story, not only about what we have read, but about our relationship to this place and the kuleana we carry forward.

*Refreshments will be provided.
