In The Power of the Steeltipped Pen Noenoe K. Silva reconstructs the indigenous intellectual history of a culture whereusing Western standardsnone is presumed to exist. Silva examines the work of two lesserknown Hawaiian writersJoseph Hoonaauao Kanepuu (1824ca. 1885) and Joseph Mokuohai Poepoe (18521913)to show how the rich intellectual history preserved in Hawaiianlanguage newspapers is key to understanding Native Hawaiian epistemology and ontology. In their newspaper articles, geographical surveys, biographies, historical narratives, translations, literatures, political and economic analyses, and poetic works, Kanepuu and Poepoe created a record of Hawaiian cultural history and thought in order to transmit ancestral knowledge to future generations. Celebrating indigenous intellectual agency in the midst of US imperialism, The Power of the Steeltipped Pen is a call for the further restoration of native Hawaiian intellectual history to help ground contemporary Hawaiian thought, culture, and governance.
