  • Hawaiian Heiau and Agricultural Production in the Kohala Dryland Field System
    HAWAIIAN HEIAU AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN THE KOHALA DRYLAND FIELD SYSTEM MARA A. MULROONEY & THEGN N. LADEFOGED University of Auckland Archaeological studies of the Hawaiian archipelago have documented that a high level of sociopolitical complexity characterised Hawaiian society at the time of European contact in 1778 (e.g., Earle 1978, 1997, Kirch 1985, 1990, 2000, Kolb 1999, Sahlins 1958, Spriggs 1988). As Kolb (1994a:417) notes, “Hawaiian traditional society, during a period of 1500 years, experienced a dramatic increase in population, the development of a varied and complex subsistence economy, and the rise of a four-tiered chiefly hierarchy.” The most dramatic changes to Hawaiian society occurred during the latter half of the cultural sequence (Hommon 1986, Kirch 1985, 1990, Spriggs 1988). Many archaeological studies that examine this period focus on chiefly institutions such as the building of religious monumental architecture (e.g., Kolb 1991, 1992, 1994a, 1994b, 1997), the expansion and intensification of large agricultural field systems (e.g., Allen 2004, Kirch 1994, Ladefoged and Graves 2000) and the development of social inequality and hierarchical social organisation (e.g., Cordy 2000, Hommon 1986, Kirch 1990). Studies that focus on the social relations between chiefs and commoners at the community level have been somewhat more limited. Recent studies have shown that the community level is significant in examining the nature of social complexity in Hawai‘i (see, for example, Kolb 1997, Kolb and Snead 1997). Social relations between chiefs and commoners were manifest in various ways, including the creation of territorial land units (ahupua‘a) that were occupied by commoners but economically controlled by chiefs.

  • Hawai'i's Oldest House
    Hawai‘i’s Oldest House On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of American Protestant missionaries from the northeast US, led by Hiram Bingham, set sail on the Thaddeus for the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawai‘i.) Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820-1863 - the “Missionary Period”,) about 184-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives is on an acre of land in the middle of downtown Honolulu. It includes Hawai‘i’s two oldest houses, the 1821 Mission House (wood frame) and the 1831 Chamberlain House (coral block,) a 1841 bedroom annex interpreted as the Print Shop. In addition, the site has the Mission Memorial Cemetery, and a building which houses collections and archives, a reading room, a visitors’ store, and staff offices. A coral and grass stage, Kahua Ho‘okipa, was added in 2011. This was the headquarters for the American protestant Sandwich Island Mission. Across King Street is the red brick Mission Memorial Building 1915. In addition to the buildings which are part of the collection, the Mission Houses object collection contains over 7,500 artifacts, including furniture, quilts, bark cloth, paintings, ceramics, clothing, and jewelry. The archival collections include more than 12,000 books, manuscripts, original letters, diaries, journals, illustrations, and Hawaiian church records. Mission Houses owns the largest collection of Hawaiian language books in the world, and the second largest collection of letters written by the ali‘i.

  • Hawaiian Culture
    HAWAIIAN CULTURE LOCATION: Hawaii consists of a number of tropical islands about 3000 kilometers from the west coast of the United States, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Today, of the more than one million Hawaiians, about 200,000 claim some native Hawaiian roots. About 8,000 people are of full Hawaiian descent. HISTORY: All of the Hawaiian islands were created by the kind of volcanic activity that continues today. Until two thousand years ago there were no human inhabitants on these islands. The first people to arrive and stay were Polynesians who came from Marquesas between the 4th and the 8th century. A few hundred years later other people came from Tahiti. The Tahitians enslaved the people they found and created a new Hawaiian culture. Although the Spanish navigator Gaetano visited the islands briefly in 1555, it was not until 1778 that Europeans started to have a real influence on Hawaii. In this year Captain Cook arrived on the island of Kauai (he was killed in Hawaii the next year). His sailors estimated that there were up to 1 million native Hawaiians. At first the Hawaiians thought the white men were gods, also because of their guns and mirrors. Soon they realized that the white men could experience pain and could die, so they could not be gods after all. The use of guns led to a major change in the Hawaiian political system. The first king of Hawaii, King Kamehameha, took the throne (in 1795) after he used the guns given to him from the Westerners to conquer most of the islands.

Six years ago I did not even know what graduate school was or where Michigan even was on a map. I never dreamed of being a scholar, being in academia, or writing a dissertation, but in the words of Jujubee, I’m still here! This was all made possible and at times even enjoyable because of so many people. First and foremost I have to thank my parents and sister for their love and support. Thank you for putting up with me, there really is no other way to put it. And to the performers in this dissertation, Krystilez and Cocoa Chandelier, I hope you know how inspiring you are! Thank you for sharing your time with me and allowing me to write about your brilliant work. Also, to the filmmakers and everyone in the film, Ke Kulana He Māhū, mahalo for being in such an important film. Sorry if I say something that upsets you. Over the past six years, my amazing committee has shown me that you can keep your politics in the academic industrial complex.

  • Spatial Similarities and Change in Hawaiian Architecture: the Expression of Ritual Offering and Kapu in Luakini Heiau) Residential Complexes) and Houses
    Spatial Similarities and Change in Hawaiian Architecture: The Expression of Ritual Offering and Kapu in Luakini Heiau) Residential Complexes) and Houses THEGN N. LADEFOGED ARCHAEOLOGISTS HAVE LONG RECOGNIZED that architecture reflects cultural beliefs and practices. Pearson and Richards (1994a, 1994b) review a number of classic anthropological and archaeological case studies (e.g., Levi-Strauss 1973; Douglas 1966; Cunningham 1973; Bourdieu 1973; Glassie 1975, 1987; and see Carsten and Hugh-Jones 1995 for additional anthropological examples) and note that a range of beliefs can be reflected in architecture, including notions of "gender and sex pollution, kinship and moiety patterning, linking of the cosmos and the earth, and segregation of individuals by age and rank and status" (Pearson and Richards 1994a: 28). Cultural beliefs are often reflected in diverse spatial contexts, and it is not uncommon for the layout of houses to mirror the organi­ zation of settlements or burials (Hodder 1994: 75; Kus and Raharijaona 1990; Pearson and Richards 1994b: 41-54). Architecture, however, goes beyond merely reflecting cultural beliefs and provides physical settings for social interaction (Hiller and Hanson 1984; Samson 1990). As such, architecture is instrumental in processes of socialization where behavior is directed in particular ways and cultural beliefs are reinforced. Because of the recursive relationship between architectural forms and beliefs, architecture is an ideal means for propagating and sustaining ideo­ logical beliefs (Miller and Tilly 1984; Spriggs 1984). The use of optical illusions in gardens (Leone 1988: 252) and house design (Marcus et al. 1987) has been iden­ tified as a way in which specific architectural forms reaffirm ideological systems.
