Abstract

My `ohana is a member of the third wave diasporic Kānaka `Ōiwi to the continental United States. This study explores the stories of third wave diasporic Kānaka `Ōiwi as they forge, cultivate, and create Indigenous spaces; foster and maintain `Ōiwi identities; and remember and engage within cultural protocols and practices over generations within their family system. The significance of the study documents the lived experiences of third wave diasporic Kānaka `Ōiwi through the broader scope of education: a`o- teaching and na`auao- learning, within the family system and the home environment. Kūpuna- elders and mākua- parents/adults serve as the leaders, teachers, guides to nā `ōpio children/youth essential for personal and cultural identity formation. As time passes, the children mature and become mākua, the youth/students become the next generation of alaka`i- leaders/teachers within the `ohana and greater community. I center `ike kupuna- Kānaka `Ōiwi ancestral knowledge alongside of Western scholarship and analyze data- stories with Indigenous Autoethnography, Critical Kānaka Geographies, and Decolonizing Methodologies.
