| dcterms.abstract | Joseph Nawahī’s conception of the aupuni body can be seen as an ancestral knowledge-based framework used to understand the construction of space between and around us in 21st century Hawaiʻi. Operating on the premise that aupuni is not some magical, esoteric concept, I explored the four mahele of the aupuni – ʻāina, lāhui, kānāwai, and waiwai. Mālama Puʻuloa workday participants were sampled to understand how we perceived aupuni at Kapapapuhi, along the shoreline of Honouliuli. The aupuni body framework was a viable guide for constructing a bridge in understanding how aupuni is perceived. The aupuni at Kapapapuhi is, at its core, community-based stewardship and education guided by aloha ʻāina. As members of a lāhui, this framework enables us to be intentional in our endeavors as we navigate away from American Imperialism and the Western ideologies of nationhood and instead strive to hoʻohawaiʻi Kapapapuhi and beyond. | |
