SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion: "Mālama Mākua"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a film screening of Mālama Mākua and a Q&A session by the film’s director Mikey Inouye and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Professor Kyle Kajihiro. \nMālama Mākua tells the story of a grassroots organization in Hawaiʻi engaged in a multi-generational fight to protect the sacred lands of Mākua Valley from military destruction. Nestled on the far West Side of Oʻahu\, Hawaiʻi\, Mākua is a sacred valley where Native Hawaiian creation stories tell of earth and sky deities giving birth to the first people. Once a thriving community rich in natural abundance\, Mākua was taken by the U.S. Army\, which forcibly evicted its residents. \nWinner of the Audience Choice Award at the Hawaiʻi International Film Festival\, Mālama Mākua traces the valley’s transformation from a place of deep cultural roots to a rallying point for grassroots activism. With the U.S. Army’s leases on the lands set to expire in 2029\, the call for Mākua’s return grows more urgent than ever. \nPresented by ACLU of Hawaiʻi. \nAnyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication\, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program\, service\, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged\, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events at HSPLS Events Calendar.

SUMMARY:A Reading by Donald Carreira Ching
DESCRIPTION:Against a backdrop of economic hardship\, housing instability\, cultural transition\, and environmental loss\, Carreira Ching’s new collection\, Blood Work and Other Stories\, focuses on the complexities of identity\, family\, and belonging. His characters live in a Hawai’i far removed from tourist postcards\, navigating grief\, displacement\, and intergenerational trauma. Still\, in the overlooked corners of the islands\, they hold tight to the connections that root them in community. \nDonald Carreira Ching was born and raised in Kahaluʻu on the island of Oʻahu. His debut novel\, Between Sky and Sea: A Family’s Struggle\, was published by Bamboo Ridge Press in 2015 and was awarded the Ka Palapala Poʻokela award for excellence in literature\, honorable mention\, and is listed by Honolulu Magazine as one of Hawaiʻi’s “essential books.” His collection\, Blood Work and Other Stories\, was released this year. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Writing at Leeward Community College. \nAnyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication\, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program\, service\, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged\, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
