Beautiful land acknowledgment. I’m going to Hawaii with my husband who will mostly be at a work conference the whole time, so I’ve been looking up local museums and places to visit to learn more. There’s a really cool art exhibit going on while I’ll be there called Aloha Nō that I’m going to visit. It “invites visitors to (re)consider their notions and preconceptions of aloha. It is a call to know Hawai‘i as a place of rebirth, resistance and resilience.” I think things like this are important.
I love that Melissa! The art exhibit may be a great place to get leads on activities and ways in which you can directly support the local economy on your visit. It is one of those bucketlist places that I know I would love to experience one day, and also know that when I do, I'll want to be intentional about planning a visit that honors the asks of the Native Hawai'ians. Admittedly, I haven't done much research on what that looks like since I don't have any plans on going soon, but let me know if you would like any leads (like @ainamomona who I just found on IG).
