  • 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.

  • Position Specification
    Position Specification Honolulu Museum of Art Director Position Specification Director Honolulu Museum of Art The Client The Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA) was founded in 1927 by Anna Rice Cooke, the daughter of a prominent missionary family. She married Charles Montague Cooke, also of a prominent missionary family, and settled in Honolulu, building a home in 1882 on Beretania Street, where HoMA resides today. From the beginning, Anna Rice Cooke, who spoke fluent Hawaiian, wanted a Museum that reflected the unique attributes of Hawai’i’s multicultural makeup. Not bound by the traditional western idea of art Museums, she also wanted to create an institution that showcased the island’s natural beauty and climate in an open and airy environment. Her thoughtful consideration is evidenced in the charming courtyards that interconnect the various galleries throughout the Museum. The permanent collection has grown from 500 works to more than 50,000 pieces spanning 5,000 years. The Museum has one of the largest single collections of Asian and Pan-Pacific art in the United States, including an unrivaled collection by artists of Hawai’i and the Pacific. The collection also contains significant holdings in American and European painting and decorative arts, 19th- and 20th-century art, an extensive collection of works on paper, Asian textiles, and traditional works from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Other highlights include the Samuel H. Kress collection of Italian Renaissance paintings and the James A. Michener collection of ukiyo-e prints. HoMA is dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation and teaching of the visual arts, and the presentation of exhibitions, performing arts and public programs specifically relevant to Hawai’i’s ethnically diverse community.

  • Margaret Todd the Watumull Founda'i'ion Oral History
    MARGARET TODD THE WATUMULL FOUNDA'I'ION ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Margaret Todd (1888 - ) In 1909 Miss Todd's father, Robert Todd, brought his wife and family to Hawaii from their native Scotland. An experienced dairy farmer, he had been asked to manage Samuel Mills Damon's home-dairy at Moanalua and, under his management, Moanalua Dairy produced "a prize baby milk" from pure Jersey cattle. At Sam Damon's request, Miss Todd immediately went to work as a clerk in the savings department of Bishop and Company bank (now First Hawaiian Bank) where she was employed until her retirement in 195). During World War I she became the first woman commercial teller in the Hawaiian Islands. Miss Todd, a born storyteller, has been an alert and astute observer of the social, cultural, and historical developments in Hawaii throughout her years here. Her recollections are a source of varied information about Scotland and Hawaii; about people and their interests; about events and their circumstances. Katherine B.

  • 1 DRAFT 5-13-15 1778 ROAD to STATEHOOD 1959 Prior to 1778 and Captain Cook the Following Is Quoted From
    DRAFT 5-13-15 1778 ROAD TO STATEHOOD 1959 Prior to 1778 and Captain Cook The following is quoted from www.freehawaii.org which obtained it from <http;//www.vrmaui.com/pray4hawaii/> History 1 - The Beginning to Pa‘ao All quotes, unless otherwise noted, are taken from Daniel Kikawa's excellent book, Perpetuated in Righteousness. The language of the Polynesian peoples is basically one language, the missionary translators who first assigned a written spelling for the different island groups, heard the words differently and represented these sounds that they heard with different letters. For instance the Hawaiian word for 'woman' is wahine (vah-hee-nee), the Tongan word for 'woman' is fahine (fah-hee-nee). Much like the differences between American English and British English - there is understanding but differences in accents and idioms. So, the oral traditions of the Polynesian peoples, with minor differences, give a remarkably similar account of their history and beliefs. There are Polynesians today, who can recite their lineage back to one common ancestor. Here are some excerpts from those accounts. Note that these predate the coming of the missionaries and were not influenced by Biblical record. These legends include stories from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Marquesa and the Maori of New Zealand. `Fornander (leading foreign source of Hawaiian history) said, ". I learned that the ancient Hawaiians at one time worshipped one god, comprised of three beings, and respectively called Kane, Ku and Lono, equal in nature, but distinctive in attributes..." This Polynesian god had many titles, but one name, too holy to be mentioned in casual conversation and this name was`Io.

    N Ū P E PĀ O M A M A K A ` A I A L O HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! Hope all is well with yourselves and families at this joyous time of the year. I’d like to extend the Board of Directors and my gratitude to Doug Ing, Bob Crowell and Willie Tallett for accepting the officer positions of Vice-President, Treasurer and Sec- retary. The latter two members have so graciously given up a lot of their time to continually keep the club running during leadership transitions. As retirement has brought more time to reflect on life, I like to remember, especially at Thanksgiving, the people who contributed so much to my growth and successes. As one once said, “Life isn’t measured by the accomplish- ments at the end but, by the route we traveled and the profound impact we have made on others along the way.” This is especially true of our many outstanding Mamaka Aialo brothers of the past as well as today. Many of them have made a profound impact on my life over the past 23 years. Their outstanding stature of integrity, character and leadership have made me proud to be Hawaiian and a brother of the club. Hopefully you feel that way too. Finally, may each and everyone of you have a joyous and safe Holiday with family and friends. Mahalo for your sup- port, involvement and contributions to Mamaka Aialo. And a special Mahalo to Hammie Ahlo for his untiring ef- forts to keep us informed by publication of Nupepa. Mele Kalikimaka and Hauoli Makahiki Hou!
