An ethnographic exploration based on fifteen months of research, the book moves the conversation on the dangerous effects of colonialism forward by exploring the theories and practices of Native Hawaiians engaged in decolonization. Decades of substance abuse, mental illness, depression, language loss, and the concomitant dispossession from sacred lands have accompanied colonialism. Consequently, healing, both mental and physical, are essential to decolonization and indigenous sovereignty in twenty-first century Hawai'i. Native Hawaiian-run treatment centers and clinics more than political rallies are centers for healing and decolonization on O'ahu today. The effects of colonialism and the measures taken to counter and move beyond it, as Wende Marshall convincingly argues, do not take place solely on a supralocal level but shatteringly involve the physical and emotional well-being of real individuals. Becoming decolonized is about overcoming the shame of colonialism, and requires a process of remembering the traditions of ancestors and reinterpreting and rewriting histories that have only been told from a colonial point of view. Decolonization is an indigenous perspective, and an understanding that health was impossible without political power and cultural integrity. 606 $aColonization$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSelf-determination, National$zHawaii 606 $aHawaiians$xEthnic identity 606 $aHawaiians$xSocial conditions 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEthnic identity 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xGovernment relations 607 $aHawaii$xHistory$y1959- 607 $aHawaii$xColonization 615 0$aColonization$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSelf-determination, National 615 0$aHawaiians$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aHawaiians$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xGovernment relations. 676 $a996.9/04 700 $aMarshall$b Wende Elizabeth$f1961-$01682073 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822532803321 996 $aPotent mana$94051925 997 $aUNINA
