The Slyly Reproductive Lessons of Haunani-Kay Trask

Kēhaulani Vaughn (Kanaka ‘Ōiwi) is an assistant professor of Pacific Islander education in the Department of Education, Culture & Society and Pacific Island Studies at the University of Utah. Her book manuscript, “Trans Indigeneity: The Politics of California Indian and Native Hawaiian Relations,” is about the trans-Indigenous recognitions between Native Hawaiians living in the United States and California Indian tribes. An interdisciplinary ethnographic project, Trans Indigeneity utilizes a Native feminist praxis to forge new methodological, theoretical, and political directions for Indigenous recognition-based politics.
