Spring 2025 Speaker: Amanda Lee Keikialoha Savage

Amanda Lee Keikialoha Savage (she/her) teaches history at the University of Memphis and is an academic advisor for history majors. She is both kanaka maoli (Native Hawaiian) and haole (white of European descent), and much of her community work involves straddling that line. In addition to her teaching and mentoring duties at U of M, Ms. Savage is the co-creator of the Tiger Food Pantry, chairs the Pride and Equity Alliance, and is the VP for the West Tennessee chapter of United Campus Workers. She is the co-founder of Native RITES, an indigenous-led organization advocating for educational and political sovereignty for Native peoples in the Mid-South. She works with community organizations and academic institutions to help people understand how colonialism informs their pedagogy and worldviews and how to begin the lifelong process of decolonization.
