February project: Haunani-Kay Trask

I’m in the middle of working on our “February project.” I’m guessing a lot Pinky Show friends probably already know Haunani-Kay Trask (1949-2021) as a political leader, activist, writer, poet, and so on. But the material I’m working on focuses more on her work as an educator.

Daisy gave us a few boxes of notes, files, and video tapes from a project he did with Haunani-Kay Trask over 20 years ago. Part of what makes it a difficult project for me is because there’s a lot of technical issues that have to be overcome - for example, lots of the source material is on tapes, CD-ROMS, and (dead) hard drives that can’t easily be accessed. But the information is very important, so I’m trying to get it out there.

Wish me luck! :)
