On Hawai'i Public Radio: @hiokinai.bsky.social, author of "In Pieces," an essay published in Places as part of "An Unfinished Atlas," speaks with @maddiebender.bsky.social about the kuleana land her family inherited on O'ahu, and the frictions + fictions of land ownership and belonging in Hawai'i.

I am often asked why I labor to find law and the Constitution over issues now subject to "plenary power" like federal Indian law, foreign affairs, national security, &c. This is why: these "non-legal matters" cannot be left to a lawless executive. They ought not be left to constitutional silence.

"The root of alienation is insanity," Hiʻilei Hobart writes. Part family history, part history of land rights and land tenure in Hawai‘i, @hiokinai.bsky.social's essay, "In Pieces," applies pressure to our ideas of land value + private property. A must read:

In Pieces: A Family’s Kuleana Land in Hawai’i
In Hawai’i, the systems that define property produce all kinds of frictions and fictions of ownership and belonging.
