The recent movement to revitalize the Hawaiian language and culture through the Kula Kaiapuni, or the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program, has grown over the past 11 years to include almost 1,600 students during the 1998–99 school year. During this period, the field of Hawaiian language has become highly politicized by nonindigenous Hawaiian language educators attempting to colonize the field and control resources purported to redress wrongs to the native people including loss of language and culture.
