Her research interests include Hawaiian governance and law; Hawaiian intellectual history and historiography; colonialism and missionization; Indigenous language archives; traditional knowledge organization; and information literacy.

Drawing upon previously unused Hawaiian language documents, this history addresses native political formation, the creation of published indigenous law, and supplies Hawaiian accounts of encounters with missionaries and traders, The Kingdom and the Republic reconfigures familiar colonial histories of trade, proselytization, and negotiations over law and governance in Hawai鈥檌.

Currently, Arista seeks to create pathways into digital territory, considering questions about how to secure traditional Hawaiian systems of knowledge鈥攁nd further mo驶o 驶艒lelo through various digital mediums, including game play and archives organization.
