In 1999, Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua was among a group of young
educators and parents who founded Hālau Kū Māna, a secondary
school that remains one of the only Hawaiian culture-based charter
schools in urban Honolulu. The Seeds We Planted tells the story of
Hālau Kū Māna against the backdrop of the Hawaiian struggle for
self-determination and the U.S. charter school movement, revealing
a critical tension: the successes of a school celebrating
indigenous culture are measured by the standards of settler
colonialism. How, Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua asks, does an indigenous
people use schooling to maintain and transform a common sense of
purpose and interconnection of nationhood in the face of forces of
imperialism and colonialism? What roles do race, gender, and place
play in these processes? Her book, with its richly descriptive
portrait of indigenous education in one community, offers practical
answers steeped in the remarkable—and largely
suppressed—history of Hawaiian popular learning and literacy.
This uniquely Hawaiian experience addresses broader concerns about
what it means to enact indigenous cultural–political resurgence
while working within and against settler colonial structures.
Ultimately, The Seeds We Planted shows that indigenous education
can foster collective renewal and continuity.
