Candace Fujikane Knihy

Mapping abundance is portrayed as a radical response to the capitalist narrative that dismisses the richness of lands. Candace Fujikane contrasts traditional capitalist cartographies with Kanaka Maoli practices that celebrate interconnectedness and abundance. Through the art of kilo, she emphasizes the importance of ancestral knowledge and ecological stewardship, highlighting the roles of deities and natural elements in Hawaiian culture. Addressing contemporary environmental threats, Fujikane advocates for a deeper understanding of these elemental forms to inspire movements for ecological restoration and planetary abundance.

Candace Fujikane draws upon Hawaiian legends about the land and water and their impact upon Native Hawai'ian struggles to argue that Native economies of abundance provide a foundation for collective work against climate change.
