The 1970s were a time in which we see a lot of land-based struggles throughout the islands, so not just on Oahu, but on other islands as well.

Kalama Valley and the evictions of Native Hawaiian and non-Native Hawaiian farmers were a birthing moment, according to Haunani K. Trask and many others that have studied the Hawaiian Renaissance, where ideas about political organizing and struggle were butting up against ideas about culture, identity, and even nationalism, right? This is only 11 years after statehood.

And despite statehood becoming codified and legalized in the way that it did, there is still a building resentment for the various forms of harm that have fallen upon the Hawaiian Islands.

This is only 70 years-ish since the overthrow, since the annexation of the Hawaiian Kingdom and its lands.

Trask to forward like anti-abortion messaging.

And the guy was just like, I didn't know it was Haunani K. Trask, despite it being like the Haunani K. Trask photo.

And so it's really scary because there's just not a lot of restrictions.

There's not a lot of, you know, stuff there to protect those who don't want to be used in a lot of these AI videos.
