‘‘Planting little seeds’ to resist big oil
In Commerce City, Colorado, the Suncor Oil Refinery routinely releases pollutants that disproportionately impact the community surrounding the facility. In the absence of state intervention, women-led organizing has mobilized, calling for justice and accountability.

‘No lu’au for baby's 1st birthday’
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic had deleterious effects across healthcare. People who gave birth during this time experienced increases in mental health challenges compared to their non-pandemic counterparts. Given Hawai'i's geographical location, people who gave birth there may have experienced additional impacts not experienced on the US mainland. The purpose of this study was to investigate experiences of becoming a mother in Hawai'i durin…

The Kids Ask 'Are We Safe
Despite knowing about climate risks for decades, oil and gas companies continually increase production. Infants, children, and adolescents are most vulnerable to intensifying air pollution and other upheavals of climate emergency.

The Suncor facility illustrates broader st…

Perhaps no source of environmental harm is more visible than the imposing, aging Suncor Oil Refinery. The refinery dominates entire city blocks and residents' daily lives. Since 2005, the refinery has been cited for over nearly 60 environmental and safety violations. Despite this, it continues operating with minor pe…

Indigenous researchers, situated in the liminal space between these two spheres, need control over the research process…
Like Water, We Re-Member

Honoring Indigenous survivance, the authors present a conceptual model of Indigenous identity healing and reformation that mirrors the dynam…
Ke ala i ka Mauliola
Native Hawaiians (NH), like other Indigenous peoples, continue to experience the subversive impacts of colonization. The traumatic effects of colonization, especially the forced relocation from land that sustained their life and health, have led to complex, interconnected health disparities seen today. NHs have described a collective feeling of kaumaha (heavy, oppressive sadness) resulting from mass land dispossession, overthrow of the Hawaiian K…
