Summary

ÒMy Peace Offering is a speculative piece of a post-COVID-19 world from the view of descendants from Kanaka Maoli and other indigenous communities in the Pacific Ocean and Americas. The piece is inspired by how Brother IsraelÕs ÒHawaii 78_Ó sings of what our ancestors would think of modern city life. It explores how we have failed in this pandemic and other epidemics that indigenous communities have endured since colonization. Dedicated to our dead and descendants, the piece explores the solutions and changes needed to survive COVID-19 and ensure that a pandemic like this never occurs again.Ó by Gregory Loui, Literary Arts, USA / Honolulu, HI, Day 63 / September 17, 2020.
