Haunani-Kay Trask is a Hawaiian nationalist, sovereignty activist, retired professor of Hawaiian Studies and just an all around super angry badass.

I read her book From a Native Daughter and got mad about everything forever, she’s the one who got me interested in Hawaiian history.

If you look her up on the interwebs you will find bad anglefire lookin’ sites with too many font types calling her a ~reverse racist~ because some student at UH-Manoa said that “haole” was a slur and she basically told him to fuck off and go back to Louisiana and also said, “And this is precisely Mr. Carter’s typically white American problem: he wants to pretend that he is outside American history, a history which has made white power and white supremacy the governing norm from the birth of the American colonies to the present American imperium that holds the world as a nuclear hostage,” and then finished off by telling him that United Airlines has dozens of flights to the mainland every day and that he should take one.

She also wrote a poem called Racist White Woman and everybody got mad.

She is basically my #1 hero forever.
