 best-known Native leaders and scholars. Her four books include the 
 critically-acclaimed, From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty 
 in Hawai'i, as well as two books of poetry, Light in the Crevice Never 
 Seen, and Night is a Sharkskin Drum. She was also co-producer and 
 scriptwriter of the award-winning film, "Act of War: The Overthrow of the 
 Hawaiian Nation" (1993).  She was the first full-time Director of the 
 Center for Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa in Honolulu. 
 During her tenure, she oversaw construction of a multi-million dollar, 
 five-acre, Hawaiian Studies complex. She has been a Fellow at the Pacific

 Rockefeller Resident Fellow at the University of Colorado at Boulder

 grandfather, a Hawai'i Territorial Senator, and her father, a lawyer and 
 advocate for Hawaiians, were among the political figures known for their 
 speechmaking and political contributions toward securing Native land rights 
 in Hawai'i. Today, Professor Trask is widely considered an authority on 
 Hawaiian political issues, as well as an internationally-known Indigenous 
 human rights advocate. She has recently spoken in the Basque Country, 
 Donostia, Spain; at the World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South 
 Africa; at the First International Conference on White Supremacy and 
 Reparations at Benedict College, South Carolina; and as an indigenous 
 Hawaiian representative at anti-racism gatherings in Brisbane, Australia;
