Ho'omanawanui, k: Voices of Fire Reweaving the Literary Lei of Pele and Hi'iaka

"ku'ualoha ho'omanawanui artfully performs the cultural and intellectual labor of overturning dominant paradigms and creating new ways of seeing and being an Kanaka 'Oiwi (Indigenous Hawaiian) woman and member of the Lahui (Nation) that draws inspiration from the volcano goddess Pele and her favored youngest siste Hi'iaka, patron of hula. This is an important and exciting book." -Ty P. Kawika Tengan, author of Native Men Remade: Gender and Nation in Contemporary Hawai'i

"An amazingly well-crafted, well-selected, and well-analyzed lei that is, in and of itself, an incredibly powerful narrative destined to become an integral component of the intellectual lei of Kanaka Maoli literature."-Native American and Indigenous Studies Journal
