| Summary |
"Kanaka Hawai'i cartographic practices are a compilation of intimate, interactive, and integrative processes that expresses Kanaka Hawai'i spatial realities through specific perspectives, protocols, and performances. It is distinctive from Western cartographic practices in that Kanaka Hawai'i recognize the forces of nature and other metaphysical elements as fundamental spatial relationships. Hawai'i and Western cartographic practices are not dualistic. Framing them as such is a Western knowledge construct that inevitably places one cartographic practice as the dominant and the other as the marginalized. A Kanaka Hawai'i knowledge construct recognizes both cartographic practices as complementary traditions. It is my hope this book provides a conduit for others to define the specificities of their own cartographic practices"--Renee Pualani Louis |
