She is a twin sister to Moana and both are part of the larger Aluli ʻohana dedicated to Hawaiian rejuvenation.

She earned her doctorate (Harvard Ed.D, 1998) on the topic of Hawaiian epistemology - philosophy of knowledge - and remains dedicated to its mythic capacity to inspire, instruct and heal. Manu is active in the cultural food sovereignty movement in Hawai'i and works at the University of Hawai'i West Oahu.
