Yosihiko Sinoto and the Hawaiian Fishhook Typology
Amanda Landis ANTH 464: Hawaiian Archaeology Dr. T. Hunt 10 April 2007 The Quiet Revolutionary: Yosihiko Sinoto and the Hawaiian Fishhook Typology Yosihiko Sinoto is not an international anthropology superstar. He is not famous - - or, at least his name is not instantly recognisable. Even his mentor Kenneth Emory is more illustrious. It is difficult to find his work in public and popular forums, such as the internet, unless you know exactly what you are looking for. However, with Yosi Sinoto first impressions -- even the lack of them -- are deceiving. Sinoto is, arguably, one of the most important archaeologists working in Oceania. Many modern accepted wisdoms of the ancient long distance-voyaging are based on the work Sinoto did throughout the Pacific. Sinoto’s definitive work throughout the Hawaiian Islands and French Polynesia established not only a chronology of settlement for Hawaii, but for migration in the Pacific as well. In Hawaii, however, Sinoto is most famous for his work with fishhooks. Sinoto believed that fishhooks could be used as a marking point on a cultural sequence -- specifically, using fishhook types to create a relative chronology. With fellow archaeologists Kenneth Emory and William J. Bonk, Sinoto was able to use fishhooks to create a settlement timeline for Eastern Polynesia as well as prove origins and inter-island interactions of the ancient people of Oceania. Even though some of Sinoto’s methods and 1 theories may have fallen out of favour, Yosi Sinoto’s work with Hawaiian fishhooks remains influential to this day. Born in Japan in 1925, Yoshiko Sinoto, the son of a scientist, became entranced by archaeology at a young age. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Paris Natural History Museum herpetological collection (MNHN-RA) has seven historical specimens of Brachylo- phus spp. collected late in the 18th and early in the 19th centuries. Brachylophus fasciatus was described in 1800 by Brongniart but its type was subsequently considered as lost and never present in MNHN-RA collections. We found that 220 year old holotype among existing collections, registered without any data, and we show that it was donated to MNHN- RA from Brongniart’s private collection after his death in 1847. It was registered in the catalogue of 1851 but without any data or reference to its type status. According to the coloration (uncommon midbody saddle-like dorsal banding pattern) and morphometric data given in its original description and in the subsequent examination of the type in 1802 by Daudin and in 1805 by Brongniart we found that lost holotype in the collections. -

The Political Status of the Native Hawaiian People
The Political Status of the Native Hawaiian People Jon M. Van Dyke' More than 200,000 people now living in Hawai'i are descendants of the Polynesian people,' who had a thriving isolated culture in the Ha- waiian Islands until westerners started arriving at the end of the eight- eenth century. The Native Hawaiians3 "lived in a highly organized, self- sufficient, subsistent social system based on communal land tenure with a sophisticated language, culture, and religion., 4 Their self-sustaining economy was based on agriculture, fishing, and a rich artistic life in which they created colorful feathered capes, substantial temples, carved images, formidable voyaging canoes, tools for fishing and hunting, surf boards, weapons of war, and dramatic and whimsical dances."

Australia-Oceania :: Wallis and Futuna (Overseas Collectivity of France) Introduction :: Wallis and Futuna
The World Factbook Australia-Oceania :: Wallis and Futuna (overseas collectivity of France) Introduction :: Wallis and Futuna Background: The Futuna island group was discovered by the Dutch in 1616 and Wallis by the British in 1767, but it was the French who declared a protectorate over the islands in 1842, and took official control of them between 1886 and 1888. Notably, Wallis and Futuna was the only French colony to side with the Vichy regime during World War II, a phase that ended in May of 1942 with the arrival of 2,000 American troops. In 1959, the inhabitants of the islands voted to become a French overseas territory and officially assumed this status in July 1961.

Necker and Nihoa Islands - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 09/07/2005 03:53 PM
Necker and Nihoa Islands - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 09/07/2005 03:53 PM Nihoa and Necker Islands By Dennis Kawaharada In 1822, Ka'ahumanu and a royal party including Kaumuali'i, Liholiho, Keopuokalani and Kahekili Ke'eaumoku, visited Ni'ihau and heard chants and stories about an island called Nihoa, to the west of Kaua'i, the direction from which the winter rains came: 'Ea mai ana ke ao ua o Kona, 'Ea mai ana ma Nihoa Ma ka mole mai o Lehua Ua iho a pulu ke kahakai The rain clouds of Kona come, Approaching from Nihoa, From the base of Lehua, Pouring down, drenching the coast. Intrigued, Ka'ahumanu organized an expedition and sailed in two or three boats under Captain William Sumner to visit the island. They landed on the once inhabited, but long deserted island 150 miles WNW of Kaua'i and annexed it to the Hawaiian kingdom. The waterfront area around Ka'ahumanu Street in Honolulu was named Nihoa in honor of the visit. The island was annexed to the Hawaiian Kingdom again by Kamehameha IV, who landed on the island in 1857. In 1885, Queen Lili'uokalani, with 200 excursionists, visited Nihoa on the steamer 'Iwalani, and brought back artifacts-a stone bowl, a stone dish, a coral rubbing stone, and a coral file (Emory 8-11). Nihoa, jutting up from the sea beyond sight of Kaua'i and Ni'ihau, is the westernmost place in this tradition of Kaua'i geography. It has come to stand for "one who bravely faces misfortune": "Ku paku ka pali o Nihoa i ka makani"-"The cliffs of Nihoa stand strongly against the wind" (Pukui, 'Olelo, No. -
