    / '", ... it PACIFIC ISLANDS PROGRAM ! University of Hawaii j Miscellaneous Work Papers 1974:1 . BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, MANOA CAMPUS Second Printing, 1979 Photocopy, Summer 1986 ,i ~ Foreword Each year the Pacific Islands Program plans to duplicate inexpensively a few work papers whose contents appear to justify a wider distribution than that of classroom contact or intra-University circulation. For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity.

F. Young Kehau Kahapea Velda Yamanaka , . • Revised 1974 Second Printing, 1979 PREFACE The Hawaiian Collection of the University of Hawaii Library is perhaps the world's largest, numbering more than 50,000 volumes. As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

    Kiribati titles from the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau collection Compiled April 2015 Short titles and some notes only. See PMB on-line database catalogue at http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/pambu/catalogue/ for information sheets and detailed reel lists. PMB Manuscript series of Microfilms AU PMB MS 09 Title: Tapu: a tale of adventure in the South Seas (a novel) Date(s): After 1894 (Creation) Moors, Harry J. Extent and medium: 1 reel; 35mm microfilm Description: Harry J. Moors (1854-1926) was born in Detroit and died in Apia, Western Samoa. As an agent for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration, he made several voyages to the Gilbert Islands and Marshall Islands around 1880 to recruit labourers for Hawaii's sugar plantations. In 1883, he settled in Apia, Western Samoa, and became a successful trader and planter. Moors was closely associated with Robert Louis Stevenson during the novelist's five years (1889-1894) in Samoa and in 1910 he published a book of reminiscences entitled With Stevenson in Samoa. Moors stated in that book that Stevenson had once urged him to write down some of the 'wonderful stories' he had related to Stevenson about his early career. Moors acted on this encouragement, and after Stevenson died, he wrote two novels, of which Tapu: A Tale of Adventure in the South Seas is one. Neither of the novels was published. See also the Bureau's newsletter <1>Pambu, September 1968:4. The novel is based on Moors' experiences in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands as a labour recruiter for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration.

  • Sybil's Bones, a Chronicle of the Three Hiram Binghams
    Sybil's Bones, a Chronicle of the Three Hiram Binghams Alfred M. Bingham I first heard about Sybil when my father took me to see her grave in the old New Haven City Burial Ground. The Grove Street Cemetery, as it was commonly called, was not far from the Yale College Chapel, where our family went on Sundays, so I suppose that it was after a service that my father walked us over to see where his grandfather and grandmother were buried. My father was not a religious man, but, as a College professor, at a time when attendance at chapel services was compulsory for all students, he may well have felt it incumbent on him, a supporter of the establishment, to attend Sunday services, when he was not off exploring in Peru, and he would have had an uneasy conscience if he had not given me and my brothers at least a grounding in the religion of his missionary ancestors. Moreover, the College invited the country's most prominent preachers, without much regard for doctrinal or denominational purity, to its pulpit, so his own skeptical theism was not offended. And he must have enjoyed the prominence of the family pew at the front of the faculty section, where his six-foot-four-inch frame, flanked by my mother and several small boys, was visible to the whole student body. It would have been a five-minute walk from the Battell Chapel steps on College Street, with its slowly melting group of departing worshipers, to the Cemetery. The setting today is unchanged from what it was then, sixty years ago.

  • Punahou School
    Resolved: That the foundation of this institution be laid with faith in God, relying upon His great and precious promises to believing parents in behalf of their children, commending it to His care and love from its commencement, and looking to Him to build it up, cherish it, and make it a blessing to the church and the world. Resolution Passed at the General Meeting of the Sandwich Islands Mission, held from May 12, till June 8, 1841 – forming what later became known as Punahou School. Punahou School On July 11, 1842, fifteen children met for the first time at Punahou School. By the end of that first year, 34- children from the Sandwich Islands and Oregon missions were enrolled; only one over 12-years old. Today, Punahou is the oldest independent school west of the Mississippi River. With 3,750 students, it is the largest single-campus private school in America. All of its graduates go on to college, with over 90- percent going to the continent for further schooling. (Scott, Punahou) Let’s look at how it got there. The story of Punahou tracks its foundation, beginning in 1808, when young ʻŌpūkahaʻia, a native Hawaiian training under his uncle to be a kahuna (priest) at Hikiʻau Heiau in Kealakekua Bay, boarded a Western ship there and sailed to the continent. On board, he developed a friendship with a Christian sailor who, using the Bible, began teaching ʻŌpūkahaʻia how to read and write. Once landed, he traveled throughout New England and continued to learn and study. At that time, the US was swept by religious revivalism and many people were converted in the wake of the newly-born religious fervor.

    "The World Creeps In": Hiram Bingham III and the Decline in Missionary Fervor Char Miller We live in two different worlds of thought and my philosophy does not seem good to you because it has been born and nourished under different conditions. Hiram Bingham III to Hiram Bingham, Jr. 26 December 1899 On 4 November 1929, Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut became only the third member of the United States Senate to be censured by his colleagues. Bingham had placed Charles Eyanson, a paid clerk of the Connecticut Manufacturers Association, on the Senate payroll, and had brought Eyanson into secret Tariff Committee meetings. During those hearings, at Bingham's behest, Eyanson helped write those aspects of the Tariff Bill affecting the prospects of Connecticut industry. The conflict of interest was clear—and Senator George W. Norris, paragon of Progressive virtue, moved that his fellow Republican be reprimanded: RESOLVED, that the action of the Senator from Connecticut ... is contrary to good morals and senatorial ethics and tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute and such conduct is hereby condemned. After extensive debate, the resolution passed by a vote of 54 to 22.x Dishonor, disrepute, contrary to good morals: the charges read like an indictment handed down by Bingham's missionary father or grand- father chastising a wayward Polynesian Christian. That a Bingham was on the receiving end of this rebuke, that the scion of this devout mission- ary family came to be pilloried for misconduct seems incredible. No less significant than this reversal of the Binghams' usual role of moral arbiter, was the Senator's very presence in the political arena.

  • Keopuolani, Sacred Wife, Queen Mother, 1778-1823
    ESTHER T. MOOKINI Keopuolani, Sacred Wife, Queen Mother, 1778-1823 KEOPUOLANI, DAUGHTER OF KINGS, wife of a king, and mother of two kings, was the last direct descendant of the ancient kings of Hawai'i and Maui and the last of the female ali'i (chief) whose mana was equal to that of the gods. From May 1819 to March 1820 she was the central figure in the kingdom's history. Her husband, Kameha- meha, had already united the islands under his rule. On May 8 or 14, 1819, he died in Kailua, Kona. It was during the mourning period that the ancient kapu system collapsed, and Keopuolani was instru- mental in this dramatic change. Six months later, when her first-born son, Liholiho, heir to the kingdom, was challenged by Kekuaokalani, his cousin, Keopuolani, the only female ali'i kapu (sacred chief), con- fronted the challenger. She tried to negotiate with him so as to pre- vent a battle that could end with her son's losing the kingdom. The battle at Kuamo'o was fought, Kekuaokalani was killed, and Kameha- meha IPs kingdom was saved. Three months later, the first of the American Protestant missionaries arrived in Kailua, Kona, with a new religion and a system of education. Keopuolani was the first ali'i to welcome them and allowed them to remain in the kingdom. Information about her personal life is meager and dates are few. There is no known image of her, although there was a sketch done of her by the Reverend William Ellis, a member of the London Missionary Society, who lived in the Hawaiian kingdom for two years, Esther T.
