Ancestral Places: Understanding Kanaka Geographies is a scholarly work in Indigenous studies, Hawaiian studies, and cultural geography by Katrina-Ann R. Kapaanaokalaokeola Nakoa Oliveira. The book examines how Kanaka, or Native Hawaiians, understand place through ancestral knowledge, language, genealogy, historical accounts, and embodied cultural practice. Rather than treating geography as a neutral map of landforms and boundaries, Oliveira presents it as a living system of relationships among people, ancestors, land, sea, heavens, memory, and identity. The book is part of the First Peoples: New Directions in Indigenous Studies series and is aimed primarily at scholars, students, and readers interested in Indigenous epistemology and Hawaiian cultural practice. Its purpose is both analytic and restorative: it explains Kanaka place-making on its own terms while challenging Western assumptions about mapping, environment, and spatial knowledge. The result is a focused contribution to understanding how ancestral Hawaiian ways of knowing remain intellectually and culturally significant in modern contexts.
