This lunch series explores how Indigenous communities across the Pacific and the Americas navigate identity, belonging, and resistance in the face of settler colonialism and forced displacement. Rooted in Native Hawaiian and Native American experiences, we’ll unpack what it means to hold Indigenous identity in diaspora—disconnected from land, yet still deeply connected to ancestry, community, and cultural practice. Participants will engage with questions around sovereignty, solidarity, cultural survival, and the shared impacts of U.S. imperialism on Indigenous peoples both island and land-based. Through storytelling, group discussion, and reflection, this workshop encourages students to examine their own relationships to land, history, and decolonial futures. Whether Indigenous, diasporic, or allied, all are welcome to join this conversation and honor the strength and beauty of Indigenous resurgence across geographies.
