P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

  • Rumors and the Language of Social Change in Early Nineteenth-Century Hawaii
    PACIFIC STUDIES Vol. 12, No. 3 July 1989 RUMORS AND THE LANGUAGE OF SOCIAL CHANGE IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY HAWAII Char Miller Trinity University San Antonio, Texas In the first months of 1831, a pair of rumors ripped through Honolulu and Lahaina, the two major port towns of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and from there rippled outward to distant islands and districts. The first of these surfaced in February, and although elements of it would change in the ensuing months, it contained a consistent message: Liliha, wife of Boki, late governor of Oahu, was preparing a revolt against Kaahu- manu, who was serving as kuhina nui (regent) of the Islands until Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III) came of age. The reports reached these two most powerful members of the Hawaiian royalty while they were conducting a tour of the windward islands, traveling with a host of high-ranking chiefs and American Protestant missionaries. Not only did they hear that Liliha would oppose the entourage’s return to Oahu but that the opposition she and her conspirators would offer would indeed be bloody; she was said to have declared that “there will be no peace until the heads of Kaahumanu and Mr. Bingham are taken off .”1 Hiram Bingham, one of the pioneer missionaries to the Islands and a close ally of Kaahumanu’s, was also the target of that spring’s second rumor. This one was not born of an islander-led revolt, but seemed to emerge from among disgruntled foreign residents in Honolulu; they at least helped to circulate it during the second week of April 1831.

Toute reproduction, même partielle, par quelque procédé que ce soit, est interdite sans autorisation préalable (loi du 11 mars 1957, al. 1 de l’art. 40). ISSN : 1292-8968. Jennifer Fish-Kashay University of Arizona NATIVE, FOREIGNER, MISSIONARY, PRIEST Western Imperialism and Religious Conflict in Early 19th-Century Hawaii In the 1820s and 1830s, Hawaii’s native rulers found themselves caught between two competing groups of foreigners. On the one hand, American and European merchants who resided at the islands—some who had been there since the 1790s—hoped to continue to use their close relationship with the chiefs in order to advance their businesses, while enjoying the relaxed moral atmosphere of the isolated island chain. On the other hand, American Protest- ant missionaries, who had arrived at the Sandwich Islands in 1820, worked to both “civilize” and Christianize the native population. These two sets of di- vergent goals led the opposing groups of foreigners into constant conflict, leaving Hawaii’s chiefs, known as Ali’i Nui, to navigate a path for their people between the embattled foreigners. Under such circumstances, it proved in- evitable that the chiefs themselves would become involved directly in the con- flict. While missionaries, merchants, and Hawaiians clashed over a number of concerns, including prostitution and intemperance, the propagation of the Catholic religion at the Sandwich Islands served to focus the various strands of discourse on a single issue that brought the Sandwich Island rulers down the path of near destruction and drastic change.

  • The French Perspective on the Laplace Affair
    MARY ELLEN BIRKETT The French Perspective on the Laplace Affair THE PAGES THAT FOLLOW present for the first time English trans- lations of several French texts concerning the visit of Captain Cyrille- Pierre-Theodore Laplace and his fifty-two-gun frigate L'Artemise to Hawai'i in July 1839.1 Laplace was the first Frenchman to visit the Islands with specific instructions from Paris to enter into official dip- lomatic relations with the Hawaiian government. The French minis- ter of the navy, Ducampe de Rosamel, sent Laplace to Honolulu to make it unmistakably clear to the Hawaiian king and chiefs that if they wanted to maintain good relations with major international powers such as France, they must not take lightly promises made in treaties with those powers. Laplace believed that the treaty he presented to the Hawaiian king on July 12, 1839,2 secured freedom of worship for all inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands, thereby ending what the French government considered persecution of Roman Catholics in the archipelago. In addition, Captain Laplace persuaded King Kamehameha III to sign a convention on July 17, 1839, protecting the personal and commer- cial interests of Frenchmen in the Islands.3 This trade agreement also effectively repealed the ban on the sale of distilled liquors that the American Protestant clergy in Hawai'i had worked so hard to obtain. Not surprisingly, the American Protestant missionaries and their Mary Ellen Birkett is professor of French language and literature at Smith College, North- ampton, Massachusetts. She has been an annual contiributor to The Romantic Move- ment: A Selective and Critical Bibliography since 1979 and has published articles on the literary works of Rousseau, Lamartine, and Stendhal.
