Farnham Signature iii He Mau Palapala Mai Kalipōnia Mai, Ka ʻĀina Malihini (Letters from California, the Foreign Land) Kānaka Hawai’i Agency and Identity in the Eastern Pacific (1820-1900) Thesis by April L. Farnham ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the ways in which working-class Kānaka Hawai’i (Hawaiian) immigrants in the nineteenth century repurposed and repackaged precontact Hawai’i strategies of accommodation and resistance in their migration towards North America and particularly within California. The arrival of European naturalists, American missionaries, and foreign merchants in the Hawaiian Islands is frequently attributed for triggering this diaspora. However, little has been written about why Hawaiian immigrants themselves chose to migrate eastward across the Pacific or their reasons for permanent settlement in California. Like the ali’i on the Islands, Hawaiian commoners in the diaspora exercised agency in their accommodation and resistance to Pacific imperialism and colonialism as well. Blending labor history, religious history, and anthropology, this thesis adopts an interdisciplinary and ethnohistorical approach that utilizes Hawaiian-language newspapers, American missionary letters, and oral histories from California’s indigenous peoples.

  • THE STATUS of the MAUNA KEA SILVERSWORD Gerald D. Carr And
    34 THE STATUS OF THE MAUNA KEA SILVERSWORD Gerald D. Carr and Alain Meyrat Department of Botany University of Hawaii 3190 Maile Way Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 The Mauna Kea silversword was first brought to the attention of the scientific community through the efforts of Scottish botanist James M~crae. Macrae ascended Mauna Kea from Laupahoehoe in 1825 and at a point near the summit, after walking three miles over sandy pulverized lava, noted, "The last mile was destitute of vegetation except one plant of the Syginesia tribe, in growth much like a Yucca, with sharp pointed silver cou1oured leaves and green upright spike of three or four feet producing pendulous branches with br9wn flowers, truly superb, and almost worth the journey of coming here to s~e it on purpose" (Wilson 1922, p. 54). Specimens of t;hese 'truly superb' plants reached De Candolle and in 1836 were christened Argyroxiphium sandwicense DC. Early in 1834, David Douglas ascended Mauna Kea and observed the same species, specimens of which reached W. J. Hooker and were initially given the name Argyrophyton douglasii Hook. (1837a.), but Hooker very soon a.ccepted De Candolle's earlier name for the taxon (Hooker 1837b). ,The species was again collected on Mauna Kea by Charles Pickering in 1841 as part of the U. S. South Pacific Exploring Expedition (cf. Pickering 1876, Keck 1936). Pickering also collected material he presumed to belong to the Same taxon on Haleakala, Maui, but this was considered distinct by Asa Gray and was named Argyroxiphium macrocephalum (cf. Gray 1852, Pickering 1876). Both Pickering and Douglas observed Argyroxiphium on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, Hawai'i and considered them to be the same taxon (Pickering 1876, Wilson 1922).

All rights reserved Population Size and Frequency of Branching in the Eke Silversword, Argyroxiphium caliginis (Asteraceae), on Eke Crater, West Maui, Hawaii! 2 ELIZABETH ANN POWELL ABSTRACT: The Eke silversword, Argyroxiphium caliginis, is a rosette plant endemic to the summit bogs ofEke Crater and Puu Kukui, West Maui, Hawaii . On 2 November 1985, a belt transect across Eke Crater was used to estimate the population of silverswords on the summit bog. Total population of the Eke silversword on Eke Crater was estimated to be about 76,000 plants. Although the plant has been described as a branching shrub that reproduces vegetatively, the majority of the individuals in the sampled population of the Eke silversword on Eke Crater were unbranched, monocarpic plants that appeared to reproduce by seed. THE EKE SILVERSWORD (Argyroxiphium calig­ different species from that found on either the . inis Forbes) is a rosette plant endemic to the uplands of the island of Hawaii or of East summit bogs and ridges of Eke Crater (1360 Maui.

Johnson, Chairperson DonnaJ. Grace Julie Kaomea 2 We certify that we have read this thesis and that, in our opinion, it is satisfilctory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Education in Early Childhood Education. THESIS COMMITIEE 3 ABSTRACT In articulating the process oflocal decoloniaIization from prevailing models of children's litemture, the study surveyed participants focused on a Native Hawaiian community children's book project in Ko'o!auLoa, Hawai'i. Participants revealed how they worked and felt about the transformation of native oral space and self-narrated life in to written text in Hawaiian and English. Recurring themes address recognizing the needs of young Native Hawaiian children, collective positions on books in the lives of children, valuable stories, authenticity as a sense of truth, and learning and reading in Native Hawaiian language. Implications ofthe research include: I) the need for further research to be conducted with, for, and by Native Hawaiians to ensure that their worldview is acknowledged and put into cultural early childhood practices and guidelines; and, 2) the appreciation of authentic foundations of published stories and the knowledge they preserve within Native Hawaiian communities.

Проблема психического здоровья является одной из наименее изученных в современной медицине, хотя ее актуальность никем не оспаривается. Вряд ли можно указать другую область исследований организма человека, чем исследование психо-физиологического состояния, в которой мнения специалистов столь противоречивы даже в части концепции определения самого феномена психического здоровья как такового. Вместе с тем, без ясной, научно-обоснованной его дефиниции, нельзя ожидать особого прогресса в раскрытии механизмов формирования, поддержания и повышения уровня психического здоровья, а тем более, в разработке важнейшей задачи санокреатологии – теории и практики целенаправленного влияния на психическое здоровье.
