"As we gather in Honolulu, we recognize that Kanaka Maoli and their allies kū‘ē (oppose, resist and stand against) colonial science, desecration, and the devastating effects of climate change while working collectively to ho‘oulu lāhui (restore the strength and vibrancy of the nation)." - excerpt from the preface of American Studies Association Program

West Papua Merdeka!

Relief print collaboration with artist Bafinuc Ilai. (Cover design by Culture Shocka)

In West Papua the largest gold and copper mine in the world is commonly known as the Grasberg (Dutch for “Grass Mountain”) but it is known to the indigenous Amungme people as Nemangkawi, the womb. When they die, the Amungme believe that their spirit goes to the mountains to dwell with their ancestors and other supernatural beings. For this reason the tops of these mountains are sacred.

Mining has ripped open this womb and is killing future generations.
