Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond
Tuesdays 4-5pm EST

Listen online LIVE: www.wesufm.org

On February 11, 2008, join your host, Dr. J. Kehaulani
Kauanui for an episode that will address GMOS--genetically
modified organisms--with a focus on the genetic modification
of life forms in Hawai`i, and how this form of biocolonialism
poses many threats far beyond the islands.  We will hear from
two special guests--both of whom will join the show by telephone
from Hawai`i-Dr. Lorrin Pang, a Medical Doctor who has served
as a Consultant to the World Health Organization since 1985,
who has been at the forefront of challenging the GMO industry
in Hawai`i, and Andre Perez, a Native Hawaiian activist who will
speak to the links between the fight against GMOs in Hawai`i
and the struggle for Hawaiian land, sovereignty and self-
determination.  The genetic modification of taro, known to Kanaka
Maoli (Native Hawaiians) as kalo, forces an examination of cultural
issues relating to this traditional Hawaiian food staple as it is
subjected to a new form of biotechnology.
