Dr. Noelani Aristaʻs talk focuses on the epistemology and praxis of research in indigenous archives, whether conditioned by the colonial state or digital technologies. She will discuss her work in and translation of Hawaiian language source materials, which emerge from the largest indigenous-language archive in the Pacific and quite possibly Native North America.
