Aloha nō kākou, I am Cameron and I am Leilani and we are Graduate Research assistants at Native Hawaiian Student Services also known NHSS. This is an initiative of the Lahui Hawaii Research Center, also known as LHRC, which is only made possible through NHSS. LHRC focuses on promoting and engaging in Oiwi scholarship from Hawaii and around the world. This has inspired us to create paakea podcast as a platform to engage and share Oiwi scholarship. One of our main goals for LHRC is to give voice to Oiwi scholars to establish that higher education is a part of Kanaka Oiwi intellectual genealogies. We decided to name our podcast paakea, after the original name for Dole Street which divides the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa campus, creating a landmark for students, faculty, and peoples residing in Hawaii. Sanford B. Dole was one of the main conspirators of the illegal overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and it is in this light that we decided to name our podcast after the Hawaiian name of this street in order to establish that UHM and Hawaii are still residing within the Hawaiian Kingdom. Today, we have Dr. Rosie Alegado an assistant researcher at the Center for Microbial Oceanography. Come join us in listening to Dr. Alegado explore the past limitations and exciting new potentials of research and community engagement.
