“…Identification with the idea of aloha ʻāina warriors is strongly connected with Native Hawaiian anti-colonial movements (Tengan 2003(Tengan , 2008Goodyear-Ka'ōpua, 2011;Baker, 2015) and now used widely within Hawaiʻi's anti-GMO activism (Gupta, 2014). The image themes of love and protection for land and future generations bring together concepts of militarised resistance, sacredness and Hawaiian ways of knowing (Tengan, 2003(Tengan, , 2008Kauanui, 2008;Goodyear-Ka'ōpua, 2011).…”

Aloha 'āina entails defence and restoration of historic livelihoods, sacred spaces, cultural practises and historic pathways for provisioning food and managing resources (Pōmaika'i McGregor, 2007;Andrade, 2008;GoodyearKa'ōpua, 2009GoodyearKa'ōpua, , 2011GoodyearKa'ōpua, , 2014Isaki, 2011).…”

“…The warrior dimension to aloha ʻāina organising can be theorised in relation to Pacific scholarship on masculinities and gender (Tengan 2003(Tengan , 2008Jolly, 2008;Walker 2008;Teves, 2012, p. 132) and specifically in relation to European views on Polynesians. Jolly (2008, p. 7) argues that in the Pacific, Europeans viewed Maori as paradigmatic warriors and masculinised Maori people.…”

“…Jolly (2008, p. 7) argues that in the Pacific, Europeans viewed Maori as paradigmatic warriors and masculinised Maori people. Tengan has argued that some Native Hawaiian men's groups draw on Maori masculinities to contest European feminisation of Hawaiʻi and Hawaiians through martial arts and cultural practice (Tengan 2003(Tengan , 2008Teves, 2012, p. 132). At the same time, contemporary representations often construct Native Hawaiian men as professional athletes and military warriors (Teves, 2012, p. 94), as either 'patriotic' military men or as 'resistant warriors' (Jolly, 2008, p. 8) and often, as criminals (Goldberg-Hiller, 2014).…”

“…For example, Native Hawaiian ecological and oceanic knowledges have been at the forefront of efforts to challenge environmentally destructive practices and in some ways, colonial logics as well (Tengan 2003;Walker 2008). Comer (2010, p. 61) argues that surfing subcultures were instrumental in 'politicized critical localisms' resisting development in Hawaiʻi, while Walker (2008) 12 However, these scholars also acknowledge that Native Hawaiian ecological ways of knowing have also been fetishised, militarised (Tengan, 2008a) and commercialised (Chagnon, 2015).…”

Gendered Representations in Hawai‘i's Anti-Gmo Activism

The aim of this article is to analyse some of the representations of intersectional gender that materialise in activism against genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It uses the case of Hawaiʻi as a key node in global transgenic seed production and hotspot for food, land and farming controversies. Based on ethnographic work conducted since 2012, the article suggests some of the ways that gender is represented within movements against GMOs and offers examples of how this emerges through activist media representations. I suggest some of the ways that intersectional gender shapes this food-related movement by analysing themes of motherhood, warrior masculinities and sexualised femininities, exploring the implications these framings have for identification with movements. I propose that these representations of gender invoke some normative ideas that are nuanced in an intersectional, contextualised frame but that these nonetheless constrain movement participation and support by different subjects. The article suggests that these representations may work together to provide a sense of social certainty and familiarity that works to counterbalance and enable anti-GMO organising's threats to (agri)business as usual in the settler state.
