Ma ka Hana ka ‘Ike (In the Work Is the Knowledge): Kaona as Rhetorical Action

Brandy Nālani McDougall ; Georganne Nordstrom

Abstract

Drawing on Malea Powell’s “rhetorics of survivance” and Scott Richard Lyons’s “rhetorical sovereignty” as a framework, we examine how kaona, a Hawaiian rhetorical device, is employed within Queen Lili‘uokalani’s autobiography and Haunani-Kay Trask’s poetry as a call for Hawaiian resistance against American colonialism through allusions to Pele-Hi'iaka stories.
