Aloha. We are the Office of Faculty Development and Academic Support.
We would like to acknowledge the ʻāina on which we gather, Oʻahu, is part of the larger territory recognized by Indigenous Hawaiians as their ancestral grandmother, Papahānaumoku.
We recognize that Her Majesty Queen Liliʻuokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom and these territories under duress and protest to the United States to avoid the bloodshed of her people. We further recognize that Hawai‘i remains an illegally occupied state of America.
We recognize that each moment we are in Hawaiʻi she nourishes and gifts us with the opportunity to breathe her air, eat from her soils, drink from her waters, bathe in her sun, swim in her oceans, be kissed by her rains, and be embraced by her winds. We further recognize that generations of Indigenous Hawaiians and their knowledge systems shaped Hawaiʻi in sustainable ways that allow us to enjoy these gifts today. For this we are grateful and as a guest, we seek to support the varied strategies that the Indigenous peoples of Hawaiʻi are using to protect their land and their communities, and we commit to dedicating time and resources to working in solidarity. Mahalo.
