THESIS COMMfITEE © 2008 by Lorenz Gonschor. All rights reserved under the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom and those of any other country. iii DEDICATION To all the national heroes ofHawai'i, Tahiti and archipelagos, and Rapa Nui To all those ofthe past who have struggled for the recognition and preservation oftheir independence and to all those who in spite ofcolonial or occupational oppression and indoctrination have upheld their national identity as Hawaiian nationals, Mii 'ohi and Rapanui To all those ofthe present who are continuing the struggle and persevere in holding on to their national identity To all those ofthe future who will bring about the eventual restoration ofgovernments or decolonisation and thereby become new national heroes to their country iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Numerous individuals have helped me, throughout more than a decade, to acquire my knowledge and develop my academic capabilities in the fields of Pacific Islands Studies, thus enabling me to achieve the level of scholarship at which I find myself today. I have to begin with my parents Lothar and Brunhilde Gonschor, who never ceased to support me when it became clear to them that my fascination with Polynesia was not a punctual phase of adolescent romanticism but a serious plan for a life career. I am furthermore thankful to my English teacher Heidi Benzing and my French professeurs Hans Waiblinger and Ursula Stark of Uhland Gymnasium High School in Tilbingen, Germany, through whom I acquired the language skills that opened the world for me, and who in their classes encouraged me to read and write about my unusual area of interest in Polynesia. Next in line come Irmtraud Stellrecht, Thomas Hauschild and Volker Harms, professors of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tilbingen. Especially the latter, himself one of the few German anthropologists specialised in Oceania, further encouraged me in the pursuit of my academic interest in the Pacific, both in his classes, and in various private conversations. Here at the University of Hawai'i, my thanks go especially to my Tahitian '{jrometua Jack H. Ward and my Hawaiian kumu U'ilani Bobbitt, Leilani Basham, Haili'opu'a Baker and Laiana Wong, who taught me the two languages without which I would not have been able to read many of the source materials of my research, and conduct some of my interviews. I also wish to express my gratitude to all the other UH instructors in whose classes I acquired large amounts of knowledge, and who stimulated me to do more and better research. These were, in alphabetical order, David Hanlon, Vilsoni Hereniko, Betty Ickes, Lilikalii Kame'eleihiwa, Guy Ka'ulukukui, Yuko Otsuka, Katerina Teaiwa, Haunani-Kay Trask, Albert Wendt and Heather Young-Leslie. Special thanks go to my present committee members Terence Wesley-Smith, Kanalu Young and Niklaus Schweizer for all their help and support in creating this present work. I am especially grateful to the latter for the constant stimulating discussions we are having about current and historical issues of Polynesia. I also wish to thank the former committee members David Chappell and Jon Osorio for their helpful input at the start of my thesis work. Besides those aforementioned people who were my direct academic mentors, I am indebted to a large number of individuals in each of the three Pacific countries, for the most part political activists and scholars, who were and are my friends, hosts, discussion partners and/or informants, with often no clear line to draw between these categories. I will enumerate them as completely as possible in the following, in alphabetical order for each territory. For Hawai'i, these include especially Kekuni Blaisdell and Keanu Sai, as well as Kamana Beamer, Keli'i and Sbannan Collier, Ikaika Hussey, Sterling lng, Bumpy Kanahele, Willy Kauai, Audrey Keesing, Terri Keko'olani, Marion Kelly, Palani Kelly, Richard Kiuney, Kekoa Lake, Pokii Laenui, Maiviln Urn, Steve Laudig, Debra Lee, Ram6n Lopez-Reyes, Keali'i Makekau, Henry Noa, Kihei Soli NTheu, Donovan Preza, v Arnie Saiki, Leon Sill, Kiihiii Vogeler, 'Imaika1ani Winchester, 'Imiola Young and Toni Auld Yardley. For French Polynesia, my thanks go first and foremost to my close friends and hosts Gabriel Tetiarahi and Sunny Moana'ura Walker, and besides them to Tamatoa Barnbridge, Tamara Bopp-Dupont, Hinanui Cauchois, Aimeho Charousset, Viina'a Chongaud, Jean-Baptiste Cemn-JerusaIemy, Charlie Ching, Teri'ihinoiatua Cowan, Stanley and Tina Cross, Teddy Domingo, John Doom, Antony Geros, Simone Grand, Georges Handerson, Tea Hirshon, Rene Hoffer, Heinui and Maurea LeCai1I, Dorothy Levy, Tetua Ma'i, Roti Make, lotefa Mare, Claude Marere, Mareva de Montluc, Roger Nana'i, Jean-Marc Pambrum, Clement Pito, Joinville Piimare, James Salmon, Hans Sarciaux, Bruno Saura, Chantal Spitz, Guy Taero, Liu Tcho-Ming, Oscar Temaru, John Temeharo, Theodore Tetuaetara and Marcel Tuihani. On Rapa Nui, I am indebted to my friends and hosts of the Teave Hey family, especially Ines Teave, Erity Teave and the late Juan Teave, as well as Leviante Araki, Petero Edmunds, Santi Hito, Carolina Hotu, Alberto Hotus, Yoni Huke, Karlo Huke, Pamela Huke, Agterama Huki, Enrique Pakarati, Stephanie Pauly, Mahina Rapu, Sergio Rapu, RaUl Teao, Eusebio Tuki, and Mario Tuki. I take full responsibility for my work. All errors, stylistic choices and interpretations are entirely my own. To all the named individuals and various others whose contribution I might have forgotten to remember, my most sincere mahalo, mauruuru and mauriiru. vi ABSTRACT In English This thesis compares the political histories and perspectives on independence in Hawai'i, French Polynesia and Rapa NuL The main focus is on the role of international law, as well as the constitutional and organic law of States. It analyses how these legal systems have been employed as tools of oppression by the imperialist powers, but can also be used by independence advocates for their own purposes. The objective is to determine the appropriate political paradigms from which to develop strategies for liberation from foreign rule in each case. All three cases represent anomalies in the current international system, Hawai'i as an occupied State, French Polynesia and Rapa Nui as Non-Self-Governing Territories that were wrongfully deprived of their right to self-determination. Rectifying these anomalies by initiating a de-occupation process for Hawai'i and a decolonisation process for French Polynesia and Rapa Nui would reinforce the principles of international1aw and thereby contnbute to world peace and security. vii Ma lea 'olelo Hawai'i He 'olelo ho'ohalikelike keia palapala no nil mo'auka!a 0 ke kalai'aina a me nil kuana'ike no ke kii'oko'a polikika ma nil 'aina '0 Hawai'i, '0 Polonekia Palani (na mokupuni o Tahiti Nui) a me Rapa Nui no ho'i.

Tous les trois cas representent des anomalies dans Ie systeme international actuel, Hawai'i comme un Etat sous occupation, la Polynesie franyaise et Rapa Nui comme Territoires non-autonomes qui furent prives de leur droit a I' autodetennination.

  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.

  • Thomas Tew and Pirate Settlements of the Indo - Atlantic Trade World, 1645 -1730 1 Kevin Mcdonald Department of History University of California, Santa Cruz
    ‘A Man of Courage and Activity’: Thomas Tew and Pirate Settlements of the Indo - Atlantic Trade World, 1645 -1730 1 Kevin McDonald Department of History University of California, Santa Cruz “The sea is everything it is said to be: it provides unity, transport , the means of exchange and intercourse, if man is prepared to make an effort and pay a price.” – Fernand Braudel In the summer of 1694, Thomas Tew, an infamous Anglo -American pirate, was observed riding comfortably in the open coach of New York’s only six -horse carriage with Benjamin Fletcher, the colonel -governor of the colony. 2 Throughout the far -flung English empire, especially during the seventeenth century, associations between colonial administrators and pirates were de rig ueur, and in this regard , New York was similar to many of her sister colonies. In the developing Atlantic world, pirates were often commissioned as privateers and functioned both as a first line of defense against seaborne attack from imperial foes and as essential economic contributors in the oft -depressed colonies. In the latter half of the seventeenth century, moreover, colonial pirates and privateers became important transcultural brokers in the Indian Ocean region, spanning the globe to form an Indo-Atlantic trade network be tween North America and Madagascar. More than mere “pirates,” as they have traditionally been designated, these were early modern transcultural frontiersmen: in the process of shifting their theater of operations from the Caribbean to the rich trading grounds of the Indian Ocean world, 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the “Counter -Currents and Mainstreams in World History” conference at UCLA on December 6-7, 2003, organized by Richard von Glahn for the World History Workshop, a University of California Multi -Campus Research Unit.

    CRYPTORRHYNCHINAE OF THE AUSTRAL ISLANDS (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) By ELWOOD C. ZIMMERMAN BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM OCCASIONAL PAPERS VOLUME XII, NUMBER 17 :. ..,," HONOLULU, HAWAII PUBLISHED BY THE MUSEUM October 30, 1936 CRYPTORRHYNCHINAE OF THE AUSTRAL ISLANDS1 2 (COLl';OPTtRA, CURCULIONIDAE) By ELWOOD C. ZIMMER:>IAN INTRODUCTION This paper is based on the collection of Cryptorrhynchinae made by me in the Austral Islands while on the "Mangarevan Expedition to southeastern Polynesia in 1934. The Austral Archipelago is a group of five scattered islands lying to the south of the Society Islands and to the southeast of the Cook Islands (21 0 30' S. to 24° 00' S; 147 0 40' W. to 154 0 55' W.). The general trend of the group is northwest by southeast, and the islands are, in order: Maria, Rimatara, Rurutu, Tubuai, and Raivavae. The northwesternmost island, Maria, is a low coral atoll; the next island to the east, Rimatara, reaches an elevation of about 300 feet, and the following three islands reach elevations of 1,300, 1,309, and 1,434 feet respectively. The devastation of the endemic flora of the group has been extensive. Raivavae has the greatest areas of native vegetation. Tubuai and Rurutu have been so com­ pletely denuded that there now remain only small pockets of endemic forest near the summits of their highest peaks. The interior of Rimatara has yielded completely to fire and cultivation, while Maria has the typical, widespread flora of the atolls. It is only in the small vestiges of native vegetation that endemic Cryptorrhynchinae can now be found.
