Ewa elementary’s logo is a plantation smoke stack.
It’s school bell is a bugle playing “taps”!
It’s majority Filipino/Hawaiian with white/Japanese leadership.
An SNL sketch of a colonial school meant to keep brown people in the workforce/military and out of leadership.
“Tradition” isn’t an excuse. This needs change.

A powerful listen with @jamaicaosorio 🌱 "We need to be the voices that remind all of us-- our parents, ourselves, our children, our grandchildren-- that not only is another world possible later, so many other worlds were happening before capitalism."
Dr. Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio reflects on precolonial Hawaiian forms and networks of intimacy, and how these expansive ways of relating open a world of abundant possibility for Hawai’i and the planet beyond capitalism and settler colonialism.
