Kuleana and Commitment: Working toward a Collaborative Hawaiian Archaeology

Kathleen L. Kawelu University ofHawai'i Press Kuleana and Commitment is a powerful and enlightening book about people and heiitage management in Hawai'i by Kathleen Leilani Kawelu, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. Her mentors were Toni Han and

I Patrick Kirch. Pat encouraged her to write this book - a kind of a bridge between two worlds - that of the Kānaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) and the archaeologists working | in Hawai'i, two vastly different worlds that Kawelu ean easily move between. The reason for the book was to understand why Kānaka Maoli were unhappy with archaeologists, and to eome up with ideas senerated bv both sides on how to collabo-

rate. In her research Kawelu interviewed archaeologists, native Hawaiians and people interested in the protection, perpetuation, and preservation of Hawaiian culture. Available at Native Books or online at www.uhpress.hawaii. edu/p-9474-97 80824846800.aspx. ■
