Interview with Ian Nui Chun
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Dr. Ian Nui Chun (AB Human Biology, 1999) speaks about his family background, upbringing in Hawai‘i , and relationship to his grandparents. He discusses his first encounter with Stanford and transitioning to the university as a freshman. Chun describes his grandfather’s wisdom about finding his Indigenous ohana (his extended Indigenous family and community), writing “The Hawaiian Guy” column in the Coming Voice newsletter, and increasing Native Hawaiian involvement in Indigenous spaces. He explains why he launched Hui o’ Hawai‘i , a club that explores Indigenous Hawaiian culture, heritage, and history; the different relationships between the Native Hawaiian community and the AAPI and Native American communities at Stanford, and his experience designing a special educational program to bring students to Hawai‘i during spring break in connection with the Haas Center. Lastly, he reflects on how his experiences at Stanford contributed to his life and career, and his vision for the community in the next fifty years.
