What roles do race, gender, and place play in these processes? Her book, with its richly descriptive portrait of indigenous education in one community, offers practical answers steeped in the remarkable—and largely suppressed—history of Hawaiian popular learning and literacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis uniquely Hawaiian experience addresses broader concerns about what it means to enact indigenous cultural–political resurgence while working within and against settler colonial structures. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eThe Seeds We Planted\u003c\/i\u003e shows that indigenous education can foster collective renewal and continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080282587376,"sku":"9780816689095","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780816689095_p0.jpg?v=1763753156","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780816689095","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
