Naz! Once I started looking into it, I was really shocked at what I found. It’s even stranger to me growing up an American citizen and never realizing what Hawai’i went through to become a state. There is so much more I learned that I wish I could embellish upon, but these things would only belabor my point.
I hope you find some great native Hawai’ian authors in your journey! I’ll be stalking your reviews to find out what you think. 🙂

I appreciate Jackie’s commitment to the research and articulating why we should pay attention to and uplift Native Hawaiian authors. I learned quite a bit just from reading this post and am now inspired to do my own research. Thank you for that, Brendon and Jackie!

I will be sure to seek out Native Hawaiian authors in 2017!

I didn’t notice the gap, either– that is until Brendon put out the call. The only Native American author I’ve ever read is Sherman Alexie. I obviously need to work on that too! If you find any good books, please share them here and let us know! I definitely want to expand my own breadth of reading here as well!

I am happy to be able to start dialogues about what cultures are being erased in the book world. There seems to be a surge right now of Indigenous authors writing from an #OwnVoices perspective. I hope you are able to discover some great literature from folks who share similar heritage to you!

I never thought about the lack of books by Indigenous Hawaiian authors. I never knew there was a problem. This post also made me realize that I’ve never looked into reading books by Native American people like the Apache and Navajo, and yet I am Native American and come from those tribes. It’s stunning how a culture can be swept away and forgotten. Watching what is going on in the world only brings to mind the importance of doing whatever we can to stop that from continuing. Thanks to both of you for giving me a lot to think about.
