Western Washington University

James Miller, Assistant Professor of Comparative Indigenous Studies at Western Washington University, discusses the mapping of Moana ontologies within planning and design frameworks for community resilience in Hawai’i along with the expansion of Moana practices in diasporic communities on the continent. These interwoven narratives of Moana peoples will demonstrate the power of Indigenous resurgence as a path towards long-term resilience. Moderated by Grace Aaraj, Design for Spatial Justice Fellow, Visiting Assistant Professor to the School of Architecture and Environment.
