Welcome to the first episode of a special series of Migration Conversations in Hawai'i. In this episode I am in conversation with Noelani Goodyear-Ka\u2019\u014dpua in an outdoor park with light rain tickling us. Born to young activists and UH graduates, Noelani grew up around Hawai\u2019I communities and movements organizing around evictions, environmental degradation and economic injustice. Now a professor in political science at the College of Social Sciences, University of Hawai\u2019I at Mano\u0101, her work focuses on documenting, theorizing and practising Hawaiian sovereignty movement and invests her time and energy into education and the \u2018\u0101ina, nurturing critical thinkers and doers. Her book N\u0101 W\u0101hine Koa: Hawaiian Women for Sovereignty and Demilitarization is a collaboration with four activist elders who helped catalyze Hawaiian movements of the late 20th century.
