Abstract
Description
Kuʻumeaaloha Gomes is a hoʻoponopono practitioner originally from Keaukaha, Kauaʻi, who is known for her social justice advocacy. Gomes worked in numerous mental health and social service contexts before becoming the director of Kuaʻana Student Services at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where she impacted many Hawaiian students. Gomes is perhaps most well-known for her work in founding Nā Mamo o Hawaiʻi and being on the Commission on Same-Sex Marriage and the Law, a very public role at the height of debates over same-sex marriage in Hawaiʻi in the 1990s. Gomes and Nā Mamo were public advocates for Hawaiian sovereignty and LGBTQM rights and worked to change the perception of “gay people” in the Hawaiian community while also bringing Hawaiian issues to the LGBT community.
