Valli Kalei Kanuha, born and raised in Hilo, Hawaiʻi in the 1950s is the daughter of a Kanaka ʻŌiwi father and Nisei mother. Dr. Kanuha considers herself an Indigenous, critical feminist, activist-practitioner-scholar with a focus on gender violence against women and children of color at the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity. For almost 50 years, her practice and research have been dedicated to analyzing the impact of colonization, racism, and masculinity on intimate violence in Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, LGBTQ, Native, and other communities of color. Kalei has been a practicing social worker, community-based researcher, and consultant-trainer with organizations in Hawaiʻi and the continental U.S., and lectures widely on violence against women, Indigeneity, and social justice issues. Her research and community interests include culturally based, family and domestic violence interventions; intimate violence in women's same-sex and queer relationships; and community-based, alternative justice responses to interpersonal and carceral S/state violence, including culturally based and transformative/restorative practices.
