October 7, 12:00-1:15pm, Kuykendall 410
Ka ‘Oihana: Business, Military, Tourism, and Hawaiian Sustainability
Join us for an opportunity to meet and talk with a large number of The Value of Hawai‘i contributors in a special 5-week teach-in series for the UH Mānoa campus, organized by the UH Mānoa Chancellor’s Office.
How did we get here? Three-and-a-half-day school weeks. Prisoners farmed out to the mainland. Tent camps for the migratory homeless. A blinkered dependence on tourism and the military for virtually all economic activity. The steady degradation of already degraded land. Contempt for anyone employed in education, health, and social service. An almost theological belief in the evil of taxes.
At a time when new leaders will be elected, and new solutions need to be found, the contributors to The Value of Hawai`i outline the causes of our current state and offer points of departure for a Hawai`i-wide debate on our future.
Speakers for Oct 7
1. Lowell Chun-Hoon (Labor Attorney)
2. Kathy Ferguson (Political Science and Women’s Studies)
3. Davianna Pōmaika‘i McGregor (Ethnic Studies)
4. Ramsay Remigius Mahealani Taum (School of Travel Industry Management)
Co-sponsored by the Center for Biographical Research, the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities, and the UH-Mānoa Chancellor’s Office.

from silent classics, mystery, thrillers, and pop culture. The films selected
