  • 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.

  • Taro As the Symbol of Postcolonial Hawaiian Identity ______
    Growing resistance: Taro as the symbol of postcolonial Hawaiian identity __________ A thesis presented to the faculty of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology University of Canterbury __________ In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts __________ by Charles Pipes February 2020 ii iii Abstract Taro is a root vegetable that has held important dietary, spiritual, and social roles with Native Hawaiian culture for centuries. The cultivation and management of the taro plant was a significant foundation of ancient Hawaiian society. Following the 19th century Western colonization of Hawaii, and the ensuing degradation of the indigenous culture, taro cultivation went into a steep decline as a result of land alienation, commercialization, and resources being designated for alternative, non- native crops. In the years following annexation by the United States, there was a growing Hawaiian identity and sovereignty movement. This thesis examines how taro became a potent symbol of that movement and Indigenous Hawaiian resistance to Western hegemony. The thesis will examine taro’s role as a symbol of resistance by analyzing the plant’s traditional uses and cultivation methods, as well as the manner in which Hawaiian taro was displaced by colonial influence. This resistance, modeled after the Civil Rights Movement and American Indian Movement in the United States, used environmental, spiritual, and cosmological themes to illustrate the Hawaiian movement’s objectives. Taro cultivation, encapsulating nearly every aspect of traditional Hawaiian society and environment, became a subtle form of nonviolent protest. To examine taro farming from this perspective, the plant’s socioeconomic, spiritual, and biological aspects will be explored.

  • 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.

  • PAU PAGE 224 11=15-14 1778 ROAD to STATEHOOD 1959 The
    PAU PAGE 224 11=15-14 1778 ROAD TO STATEHOOD 1959 The following is quoted from www.freehawaii.org: 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. The first group of Proto-polynesians probably left the middle east around BC 2300, about the time of the tower of Babel heading toward Sumatra.

Hardcover ISBN 0-9662945-0-5 Softcover ISBN 0-9662945-1-3 his book is dedicated to the continued T pursuit of the Hawaiian language. Why the interest in Hawaiian? The first three generations of my grandfather’s side of the family in these Islands were fluent in it: Asa Thurston, the missionary, spoke it, preached in it and translated books of the Bible into Hawaiian. His son, speaker of the Kingdom’s House of Representatives before his death at age 32, learned it in Kona as a boy and was as fluent in it as in English. His son, Lorrin A., the Rev- olutionist, was the same. He could catch the detailed nuances of other speakers in the Legislature when he was in it, especially if they thought they could get away with a wisecrack to their colleagues about him. And on my great-grandmother’s side of the family, her father, Lor- rin Andrews, put together the first Hawaiian dictionary in 1836 and followed it with an expanded edition in 1865. It was an unsophisti- cated product compared with the outstanding works of Mary Pukui and Samuel Elbert, but they saluted it for its pioneering thoroughness.

  • The Revivalist Mission of John Henry Wise, 1889–1896
    ronald williams jr. To Raise a Voice in Praise: The Revivalist Mission of John Henry Wise, 1889–1896. As the long tumultuous summer of 1887 came to a close in Hono- lulu, the Protestant “Sons of the Mission”1 found themselves in quite a conundrum. Members of the church administration had been sup- portive of, and involved in, the clandestine Hawaiian League that had recently forced a new constitution—commonly referred to as the Bayonet Constitution—upon the ruling sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom, His Majesty David La‘amea Kalākaua.2 Hawaiian Evangeli- cal Association (HEA) officer Rev. Oliver Pomeroy Emerson termed the act a “revolution” and wrote proudly concerning this “noble stand the sons of the mission took.”3 The new governing document both stripped most of the executive powers from the monarch and restruc- tured voting qualifications for the elected legislature—essentially transfering much of the governing power in the islands to League interests. HEA officer Rev. Charles McEwan Hyde noted in a letter of 26 August, “The government, i.e. the executive power, is taken out of the hands of the Hawaiian people, who are utterly incapable of man- aging the government, or any business as we Americans understand business.”4 The political goals of these mission sons seemed well on their way to being achieved. Yet what of “the mission?” Ronald Williams Jr. is a graduate of, and instructor at, the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. He is currently a Ph.D. (ABD) student in the university’s Department of History.
