Kuleana : a story of family, land, and legacy in old Hawai'i / by Goo, Sara Kehaulani,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From an early age, Sara Kehaulani Goo has always been enchanted by her family's land in Hawai'i. The vast area along the rugged shores of Maui's east side -- given by King Kamehameha III in 1848 -- extends from mountain to sea, encompassing sixty acres of lush, undeveloped rainforest jungle along the rocky coastline, and a massive 16th century temple with a mysterious past. When a property tax bill arrives with a 500% increase, Sara and her family members are forced to make a decision about the property: fight to keep the land or sell to the next Mainland millionaire. As she returns to Maui and reconnects with her great Uncle Take, she uncovers the story of how much land her family has already lost over generations, centuries-old artifacts from the temple, and the insidious displacement of Native Hawaiians by systemic forces. Part journalistic offering and part memoir, Kuleana interrogates deeper questions of identity, legacy, and what we owe to those who come before and after us. Sara's breathtaking story of unexpected homecomings, familial hardship, and fierce devotion to ancestry creates a refreshingly new narrative about Hawai'i, its native people, and their struggle to hold onto their land and culture today"--

Nishga / by Abel, Jordan,1985-author.;
"From Griffin Poetry Prize winner Jordan Abel comes a groundbreaking and emotionally devastating autobiographical meditation on the complicated legacies that Canada's reservation school system has cast on his grandparents', his parents' and his own generation. NISHGA is a deeply personal and autobiographical book that attempts to address the complications of contemporary Indigenous existence. As a Nisga'a writer, Jordan Abel often finds himself in a position where he is asked to explain his relationship to Nisga'a language, Nisga'a community, and Nisga'a cultural knowledge. However, as an intergenerational survivor of residential school--both of his grandparents attended the same residential school in Chilliwack, British Columbia--his relationship to his own Indigenous identity is complicated to say the least. NISHGA explores those complications and is invested in understanding how the colonial violence originating at the Coqualeetza Indian Residential School impacted his grandparents' generation, then his father's generation, and ultimately his own. The project is rooted in a desire to illuminate the realities of intergenerational survivors of residential school, but sheds light on Indigenous experiences that may not seem to be immediately (or inherently) Indigenous. Drawing on autobiography, a series of interconnected documents (including pieces of memoir, transcriptions of talks, and photography), NISHGA is a book about confronting difficult truths and it is about how both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples engage with a history of colonial violence that is quite often rendered invisible."--
