Special Message from
Governor David Y. Ige In Recognition of
2018 Canada Colloquium March 7-10, 2018
On behalf of the people of Hawaiʻi, I would like to extend a warm aloha to the participants of the Third Canada Colloquium organized by Fulbright Canada, the Center for the Study of Canada at the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, and the College of Social Sciences at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
An international platform with an interdisciplinary scope creates greater global understanding through academic research exchange and community engagement. Hawaiʻi is honored to host another Canada Colloquium that focuses on indigenous peoples and includes a youth leadership component. The Colloquium, "Canada, the United States, and Indigenous Peoples: Sovereignty, Sustainability, and Reconciliation," provides a unique opportunity to bring scholars, researchers, leaders and youth together to address critical issues important to our people and countries. Discussions and inquiries that explore, recognize and advance issues relating to indigenous peoples and settler governments may foster and expand societal inclusivity, co-existence and a better understanding of all that is around us. Mahalo to the Colloquium organizers, educators and volunteers for your time, effort and commitment. Special thanks to the Canadian Consulate in San Francisco for your support. I wish you all a successful colloquium with much aloha. With warmest regards,
DAVID Y. IGE Governor, State of Hawai‘i

Introduction Fulbright Canada, the Center for the Study of Canada at the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, and the College of Social Sciences at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, are pleased to present the third annual Canada Colloquium, an international colloquium entitled “Canada, the United States, and Indigenous Peoples: Sovereignty, Sustainability, and Reconciliation.” The colloquium will be convened at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on Hawai’i from March 7-10, 2018. The Canada Colloquium brings together scholars, researchers, university administrators, youth leaders, and community leaders to address issues of critical importance to our two countries. The 2018 program is designed to explore significant and complex issues surrounding sovereignty, sustainability, rights, and reconciliation for indigenous peoples, with special reference to indigenous persons in Hawai’i, in the United States more broadly, and in Canada. In addition to a very impressive group of scholars, we are pleased that distinct indigenous communities are represented and that indigenous leaders from Hawai’i are participating, allowing for a more fulsome, more nuanced, and more constructive discussion. Youth engagement will play a key part in the 2018 colloquium. The organizers have arranged, in conjunction with the Kohala Institute, a parallel youth forum. A number of young leaders, representing a variety of youth and student programs, will be participating in a youth leadership program, and, on day four, will share their new found knowledge on leadership with all of the participants. In addition to significant support from our respective organizations, we are grateful to Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Consulate General in San Francisco, the U.S. Department of State, and the Kohala Institute for their generous support. Welcome!

Wednesday, March 7, 2018 Day 1 8:15 – 10:00 AM
Welcoming cultural protocol and opening ceremony led by Daniel J. Akaka *Meet at Ballroom I & II *The ceremony will be outside and involve a 20 minute walk, please dress in comfortable aloha attire and shoes. In accordance with Hawaiian cultural tradition, the Colloquium will start with an opening protocol to properly welcome attendees to the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel located in the moku (district) of Kohala on the island of Hawaiʻi. This opening will introduce people to the ʻāina and prepare them for a spiritual and intellectual week of aloha ʻāina (love of the land or of oneʻs country), mālama ʻāina (care of the land or oneʻs country), kūpono (justice) and kākou (inclusivity) underpinning this event. As part of the ceremony, you will be asked to bring a gift from your homeland.1
10:00 – 10:30 AM
Coffee and welcoming remarks by the colloquium co-conveners At its core, the 2018 Canada Colloquium involves a selection of academic panels, as outlined below. Each of these panel sessions will include a formal comment followed by a brief response by the author for each of the papers. This, in turn, is followed by a general discussion involving all the participants. Beyond these core panels, there are two special sessions: one is a roundtable discussion on Hawai’ian sovereignty and the other is a selection of papers that deal with the gallery as a site for self-determination and social change. In addition, the colloquium includes a cultural protocol, a ‘talk shop’, an opening reception, a traditional Hawai’ian Luau, and a parallel youth leadership program. Each is critical to the overall success of the program, and each is part of the overall logic of the colloquium. We are expecting full participation in all events and actitivities.

Kohala Institute: Youth Leadership Program Kohala Institute’s mission is to inspire the discovery and deepening of human connection and collaboration for a sustainable world. We do this through place-based learning and the development of social enterprises to demonstrate a thriving 21st century ahupuaʻa. We seek to be a leading learning center that develops enterprises that benefit both the land and the people, redefining the path to self-sufficiency. Kohala Institute’s primary program is Collaboration For Solutions. This is a methodology that brings participants together in place-based activities to build and strengthen relationships. Participants engage in group activities requiring teamwork, physical activity, and connection to land, self, and others. These activities enable participants to get to know each other in a new setting and inspire discoveries about each other that can lead to establishing the trust necessary to engage in discussions about difficult or challenging topics. One of Kohala Institute’s signature programs is the GRACE Leadership Journey. This is an in-depth application of Kohala Institute’s Collaboration For Solutions framework that is customized specifically for tomorrow’s leaders. It provides practical application of problem-solving skills, communications techniques, and leadership approaches to facilitating collaborative solutions that benefit the collective. The goal is for future community and business leaders to utilize their experiences, skills, and relationships developed in the program to make collaboration the “new normal.” The program seeks, at the most basic level, to shift the mindset from “not my problem” to “if not me, then who? If not now, then when? Not no can, but how can?!!” Another signature program is the KI Tours where visitors are immersed in a living classroom set on a historical taro patch favored by King Kamehameha I. Working and learning within this classroom, students learn about the mo’olelo (history) of the land and engage in cultural traditions and practices related to agriculture and water management, while also engaging in group projects that help participants to deepen their relationships with each other.

Camille Chabot-Martin Camille Chabot-Martin is currently studying political science at the Université de Montréal, where she has also been a law student and student representative. After she completed a few semesters studying law, she realized that the aspects of the discipline she was most interested in were related to the political context in which laws are elaborated and applied. This interest led her to pursue studies in political science. Yet, her first years at the Université de Montréal also confirmed how important it was for her to be involved in her student community. She took a year off from her studies and engaged in the university student association as a fulltime student representative. She dedicated the whole 2015-2016 year to making sure student rights were respected and that students could make the most of their studies and of their university experience. This engagement reinforced her interest in political representation and politics. Kiana Davis Kiana graduated with honors from Kamehameha Schools Kapālama in 2017. It was there that she began nurturing her passion for ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi and sustʻāinability. She participated through the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Social Science’s Mānoa Academy and is now a freshman pursuing a double major in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi and Natural Resources and Environmental Management. Through her internship with KUPU Hawaiʻi as well as her countless hours of community service, Kiana has come to the realization that the future of Hawaiʻi, our island home, rests in the hands of the young people of her generation. Upon graduating, Kiana aspires to continue her education at the UH William S. Richardson School of Law. Kawehi Kina Kawehi was born and raised on the island of Maui, where she attended the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College and earned two Associate degrees in Hawaiian Studies and Liberal Arts in 2013.
