Conclusion

The Conclusion calls for a reconsideration of what it means to expression Hawaiian indigeneity and how aloha is felt and exchanged within Hawaiian spaces. Engaging recent efforts to “create” a Hawaiian governing entity, Teves discusses the contradictory feelings that arise when belonging is administered by an arm of the federal government. Reminding readers that belonging is contingent and messy, as is all articulations of indigeneity and Hawaiian life today.
