  • A Murder, a Trial, a Hanging: the Kapea Case of 1897–1898
    esther k. arinaga & caroline a. garrett A Murder, a Trial, a Hanging: The Kapea Case of 1897–1898 Kapea was a 20 year-old Hawaiian man executed by hanging for the murder of Dr. Jared K. Smith of Köloa, Kaua‘i.1 Kapea’s 1897–98 arrest, trial, and execution in the fi nal years of the Republic of Hawai‘i illustrates legal, political, and cultural dynamics which found expres- sion in Hawai‘i’s courts during the critical years preceding Hawai‘i’s annexation to the United States. In 1874 David Kaläkaua succeeded Lunalilo as monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Aware that Native Hawaiians were increasingly dispossessed of their land and were further disenfranchised as disease drastically diminished their numbers, Kaläkaua set out to have his cabinet and legislature controlled by Native Hawaiians. Inevitably, he clashed with the white population, primarily missionary descendants. A duel ensued between a “willful Hawaiian King and a headstrong white opposition.” This was a new “band of righteous men,” who like earlier missionaries, felt it was their moral duty, the white man’s des- tiny, and in their own self-interest to govern and save the natives.2 In 1887 Kaläkaua’s reign began its swift descent. A new constitu- tion, forced upon the King at “bayonet” point, brought changes in Esther Kwon Arinaga is a retired public interest lawyer and has published essays on early women lawyers of Hawai‘i and Korean immigration to the United States. Caroline Axtell Garrett, retired from 40 years in higher education in Hawai‘i, has been publishing poems, essays, and articles since 1972.

  • Facts Necessary to Understanding the Hawaiian
    FACTS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION David Keanu Sai, Ph.D. June 11, 2019 Fundamental to deciphering the Hawaiian situation is to discern between a state of peace and a state of war. This bifurcation provides the proper context by which certain rules of international law would or would not apply. The laws of war—jus in bello, otherwise known today as international humanitarian law, are not applicable in a state of peace. Inherent in the rules of jus in bello is the co-existence of two legal orders, being that of the occupying State and that of the occupied State. As an occupied State, the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom has been maintained for the past 126 years by the positive rules of international law, notwithstanding the absence of effectiveness, which is required during a state of peace.1 The failure of the United States to comply with international humanitarian law, for over a century, has created a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions where war crimes have since risen to a level of jus cogens. At the same time, the obligations have erga omnes characteristics— flowing to all States. The international community’s failure to intercede, as a matter of obligatio erga omnes, is explained by the United States deceptive portrayal of Hawai‘i as an incorporated territory. As an international wrongful act, States have an obligation to not “recognize as lawful a situation created by a serious breach … nor render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation,”2 and States “shall cooperate to bring to an end through lawful means any serious breach [by a State of an obligation arising under a peremptory norm of general international law].”3 The gravity of the Hawaiian situation has been heightened by North Korea’s announcement that “all of its strategic rocket and long range artillery units ‘are assigned to strike bases of the U.S.

RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS) In the downtown Honolulu area, detailed site investigations are required prior to the design and construction of high-rise buildings and other engineering structures. Hence, over the years, numerous soil borings, environmental assessments, and groundwater measurements have been conducted. As a result, much data on the subsurface geology of downtown Honolulu exists, but it is spread out among individual consulting firms and various governmental agencies. The purpose ofthis study is to compile the existing data and interpret the subsurface geology, engineering geology, hydrogeology, and environmental problems within the downtown Honolulu area. This study commenced with collecting and interpreting data from 2,276 soil boring logs from consulting firms in Honolulu, along with data from the Groundwater Index database and environmental databases maintained by the State ofHawaii. The subsurface materials are classified into nine categories: fill, lagoonal (low-energy)deposits, alluvial deposits, coralline debris, coral ledges, cinders, tuff, basalt, and residual soil or weathered volcanics.

    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.

Hawaii Honorable John Waihee MH-HI-001-001 Governor of Hawaii Hawaii State Capitol Honolulu, HI 96813 Re: Investigation of Hawaii State Hospital, Kaneohe and Honolulu. Hawaii Dear Governor Waihee: I arc writing to let you know of our intention to investigate conditions within the Hawaii State Hospital, Kanehoe and Honolulu, Hawaii. This investigation is pursuant to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. Sections 1997- 1997j. The purpose of the investigation will be to determine whether there exists any violations of the statutory and federal constitutional rights of patients residing at the facility. The investigation will focus on allegations related to an inadequate number of professional and direct care staff, abuse and neglect of patients, overuse of restraints, inadequate recordkeeping practices, substandard physical conditions, and the failure to provide treatment sufficient to avoid undue risks to personal safety and unreasonable bodily restraint. The initiation of this investigation in no way evidences any prejudgment on our part that patient federal rights have been violated. If any viola- tions are found, we look forward to conferring with you and your staff concerning corrective actions that might be appropriate. As a means of commencing this investigation, I wish to propose an initial meeting in the near future between our attorneys and representatives of your office. It has been our experience that such a preliminary conference can substantially expedite the process.
