Can Indigenous artists, curators, and historians resist the colonial narrative of art museums when the museum itself is a colonizer institution? Reflecting on his own experience visiting the museum on the Gila River Indian Community, David Martínez argues that the path to resistance lay in the land itself.

Join producer-director Adri Murguia for a conversation about the documentary film industry and related media fields, followed by a screening of her latest short doc, Q-POP. The film follows 23-year-old “Q-Pop” artist and TikTok sensation Lenin Tamayo as he revolutionizes the Peruvian music scene through combining infectious K-pop sounds with his ancestral tongue, the endangered Andean language of Quechua.
From a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Lima to the streets of Seoul, Q-POP captures Lenin at a pivotal moment as he rises to international recognition, navigating the tension between fame and staying true to his indigenous roots.

The Department of Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies invites you to a talk with author Stephanie Nohelani Teves about her book: The Mahele of our Bodies: Nā Moʻolelo Kūpuna Māhū/LGBTQ.
Free and open to the public.
Cosponsored by Native American and Indigenous Studies
Stephanie Nohelani Teves (Kanaka Maoli) is an Associate Professor and Chair of the department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where she teaches courses on Indigenous feminisms and queer theory. Teves is author of Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance (2018) and co-editor of Native Studies Keywords. Her essays have appeared in American Quarterly, The Drama Review, the American Indian Culture and Research Journal, and the International Journal of Critical Indigenous Studies. She was a faculty member at UO in Ethnic Studies and WGSS from 2015-2019.
About the book:
Generated from the life histories of ten Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) elders (kūpuna) who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or māhū (LGBTQM), this book reveals the way they experienced overlapping Native/Indigenous and LGBTQM identities. The Mahele of Our Bodies: Nā Moʻolelo Kūpuna Māhū/LGBTQ is filled with rich descriptions of Hawaiʻi’s unwritten queer history, from growing up in the late Territory era and Hawai‘i’s transition to a state, to vivid descriptions of Honolulu nightlife in the 1960s and 1970s, the impact of HIV/AIDS in the hula community, and first-person accounts of the activism and political debates surrounding same-sex marriage rights in the 1990s.
Each life history explores themes of the significance of Hawaiian culture in identity formation, the ongoing prevalence of colonialism and Christianity, the importance of community activism, the role of culture and performance, and the complexities of leaving home to fully come out. The kūpuna in this book have much to teach us about how they survived. Stephanie Nohelani Teves edited the interviews she conducted into first person moʻolelo or stories. Their vivid descriptions of what life was like for them during the Hawaiian renaissance or at the height of the fight for same-sex marriage serve as a reminder of how much emotional and physical labor was expended so that present-day Kānaka LGBTQM can imagine different possibilities and hopeful futures.
One of the only studies of Native/Indigenous queer oral histories, this book also features a robust Introduction that explores community and nation building, culture and tradition, and how all are navigated within the context of Hawaiian sovereignty and LGBTQM civil rights.
