By Kamanamaikalani Beamer

Winner of the 2015 Samuel M. Kamakau Award for Hawai‘i Book of the Year

Winner of the 2015 Ka Palapala Po‘okela Award of Excellence in Hawaiian Language, Culture, and History

No Mākou ka Mana: Liberating the Nation asserts that the founders of the Hawaiian Kingdom exercised their own agency and were not just acted upon by foreign powers. The ruling ali‘i selectively appropriated tools and ideas from the West—including laws, religion, educational models, protocols, weapons, printing and map-making technologies, seafaring vessels, clothing, names, and international alliances. The result? A hybrid system based on an enduring tradition of Hawaiian governance and intended to preserve, strengthen, and maintain the lāhui. Using rare primary documents and “‘Ōiwi optics,” Beamer offers a new point of reference for understanding the motivations, methods, and accomplishments of Hawai‘i’s great leaders.

About the Author
Dr. Kamanamaikalani Beamer is an associate professor at the Center for Hawaiian Studies in the Hui ‘Āina Momona program at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, with a joint appointment in the Richardson School of Law and the Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge. Previous to this role, Dr. Beamer was president and chief executive officer of the Kohala Center. Beamer’s research on governance, land tenure, and Hawaiian resource management, as well as his prior work as the director of ‘Āina-Based Education at Kamehameha Schools, prepared him for his continuing service as a director of Stanford University’s First Nations Futures Institute, a resource management development program for Indigenous leaders developed by Stanford, Kamehameha Schools, and Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu in New Zealand. Beamer has revitalized and maintained lo‘i kalo (taro ponds), providing him and his children opportunities to mālama ‘āina, deepen connections with cultural traditions, and derive leadership lessons from the land. In 2013 he was nominated and confirmed to a four-year appointment on Hawai‘i’s Commission of Water Resource Management and was reconfirmed in 2017 for an additional four-year term.

Great for aggressive chewers!
This item has held up for 4 months so far! My dog loves it, carries it everywhere. It's one of his favorite toys and he's been through so so many but this is the only one to hold up. However there are CONS! We have dubbed this bone "the cheese grater". My dog loves to bring his toys to us and press them against our legs to get our attention. So after a little chewing, the ends become very rough. When he runs by us with it in his mouth or presses it up against our legs, it tears our skin up! Also, the bone is very heavy so we have to watch out for our toes because Hank will drop it right on our feet if we aren't paying attention. Other than that, it's great! When it gets dirty, I just throw it in the dish washer and rinse it off after the cycle is done. Cleans up nicely! Would buy again if needed! Recommend for aggressive chewers!

This is the one for your dog
Size: Large
My 40 pound Mini Aussi is a very agressive chewer and goes through toys lightning fast===untill I got her this bone. She has had it several weeks and it still survives. She takes it everywhere she goes and it is, by far her favorite toy. I think she has met her match. One warning though. We have hardwood floors and it gets a bit noisy at times. That's just a small issue though. If Dixie ever destroys this (doubtful) I will not hesitate to buy another. Great toy and I coming off and she coming off and she wqw cfully recommend it. WARNING{ This is/was a great toy for my 50 pound Austrilian Sheperd, However it is not indestructable. It lasted about 3 months until the white parts started coming off and she was injesting it.

Great product
Size: Large
I was hesitant about buying this product, but I'm so glad I did. My dog (who is a very aggressive chewer) absolutely loves this toy. He will spend hours chewing on this toy. He carries it around the house and will show it off to anyone who visits. Since getting this toy for him, he has stopped chewing up other toys and focuses his chewing and destructive chewing on this toy. He has not managed to destroy this toy as of a month of chewing.
