Linnemann Memorial Lecture on the Environment with Dr. Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart.\n\nWhere Hawaiʻi Ends\nNestled into the harbor between downtown Honolulu and Daniel K. Inouye Airport lies a low-lying tract of land known as Sand Island. Originally a collection of atolls and mudflats used by Kanaka Maoli for offshore fishing\, Sand Island was constructed during the late-19th and early-20th centuries through a process called ‘land reclamation.’ By the mid-20th century\, the island became used as a municipal dump. Largely forgotten\, several hundred unhoused Kanaka Maoli established an informal fishing village there until the winter of 1979\, when the State of Hawaiʻi evicted residents to make way for a new public recreational facility. When residents resisted eviction by asserting their rights as Hawaiians to live on their homelands\, the State responded that Sand Island was never Hawaiʻi in the first place. As reclaimed land\, it was “born federal.”\n\nThis talk analyzes the eviction of the Sand Island community in the context of the techno-social forms of property-making that transpire through the process of land reclamation. Grounded in the Indigenous environmental politics of stewardship and care\, this talk emphasizes the economic and ecological debts that are set into motion when fresh lands are brought to the surface. \n\nThere will be a book signing before the lecture from 5-5:45 p.m.\, also in Kathryn Mohrmann Theater.\n\n\n \n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/8805 DTEND:20250425T013000Z LOCATION:Kathryn Mohrman Theatre DTSTART:20250425T000000Z SUMMARY:2025 Timothy C.
