Hawaiian sovereignty and Makahiki revival prophecies

Record summary

Late twentieth-century Hawaiian cultural and religious revitalization included renewed attention to Makahiki, Kū, ancestral sovereignty and the restoration of Native Hawaiian relations with land and sea. Some activists and religious practitioners used prophetic or restorative language, though this does not represent one single apocalyptic movement. It can help compare sacred return narratives, ancestral presence and political eschatology in Pacific contexts. Researchers should identify the organization or speaker, since scholarly accounts distinguish ceremonial revival, sovereignty activism, New Age appropriation and established Hawaiian religious practice.
