  • COOKE, Jr., a BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY
    Bio-bibliography of C. Montague Cooke, Jr. 31 Bibliography By WILLIAM J. CLENCH CURATOR OF MOLLUSKS, MUSEUM of COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY INTRODUCTION The following list of titles and scientific names of both plants and mollusks is complete, so far as can be traced, for the work done by Dr. Cooke. He left, however, several manuscripts in various stages of completion, which in time will be published. The type specimens of most of the species, subspecies, and varieties de- scribed by Dr. Cooke are in Bishop Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; but many type specimens were generously donated to other institutions by Dr. Cooke, for his was an exceedingly broad policy. Any type series in sufficient numbers was divided and such duplicates as could be spared sent on exchange or as outright gifts to other institutions. He believed that this policy not only aided other workers in their reference to authentic material but safeguarded type specimens by housing them in various parts of the world. With few exceptions, the new species described by Dr. Cooke, either alone or jointly with other authors, were based on material from Polynesia and Melanesia, wherein lay his main interest. His knowledge of these areas was profound, and his library contained most of the malacological papers dealing with Polynesia and Melanesia. His collection contained many specimens that had been compared with type material in other institutions. Both the library and the collection were years in the making, and all were available for use by his colleagues and correspondents. A LIST OF MOLLUSKS DESCRIBED BY C.

Chair Dela Cruz, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, and members of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means: The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) strongly supports House Bill 420 HD1 SD1, which removes the provision designating the Hawai‘i Convention Center (HCC) as the location for the operation of a Hawaiian center and museum of Hawaiian music and dance. The concept of developing a Hawaiian Center and Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance is one that we fully support; however, the challenge has been the requirement of locating the center at the Hawai‘i Convention Center. By removing this requirement, we will then be allowed to work with the community to identify the best location for this very important facility. We humbly request your support of this measure. Thank you for the opportunity to offer testimony in support of House Bill 420 HD1 SD1.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, MANOA CAMPUS Second Printing, 1979 Photocopy, Summer 1986 ,i ~ Foreword Each year the Pacific Islands Program plans to duplicate inexpensively a few work papers whose contents appear to justify a wider distribution than that of classroom contact or intra-University circulation. For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity.

F. Young Kehau Kahapea Velda Yamanaka , . • Revised 1974 Second Printing, 1979 PREFACE The Hawaiian Collection of the University of Hawaii Library is perhaps the world's largest, numbering more than 50,000 volumes. As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

Over five concerts, 67 kūpuna were recognized, & their names are the ones we recall hearing stories about, for their contributions have deeply enriched the sentience of Hawaiians & the people of Hawaiʻi. “Na Makua” was created & led by Dr. Ishmael Stagner, who was a professor at Brigham Young University-Hawaiʻi at the time.

  • Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu
    Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu Wai-Jane Char Early in the nineteenth century, there were three Chinese stores in Honolulu, listed in The Friend on August 11, 1844 as "Samping [Samsing] & Co., Ahung & Co. [Hungtai], and Tyhune." The stores are long gone and forgotten, but they were significant among the commercial establishments of that time. The first store mentioned, Samsing Co., had a modest beginning in the 1830s, next to a bakery on Fort Street, in the middle of the block near the west entrance of today's Financial Plaza. Later Samsing Co. had a location on King Street facing south in the middle of the block between Bethel and Nuuanu Streets. Yat Loy Co. carried on a dry goods business there for most of the twentieth century.1 The second store mentioned was Hungtai Co., begun even earlier at the northeast corner of Fort and Merchant Streets, where today stands the multi-storied Financial Plaza. In 1838, the store moved to a building called the "Pagoda" on Merchant Street, facing the harbor, between Fort Street and Bethel, then not yet opened as a street.2 The third store, Tyhune, also started before the mid-3os, was at the south- west corner of Hotel and Nuuanu Streets. It was marked merely as "Chinese store" on a map drawn by Alexander Simpson in 1843, during contentions over the land claims of Richard Charlton.3 During the period the Chinese stores were in business, Honolulu changed from a small village into a flourishing town with lumber yards, wharfs, streets, schools, and churches.

  • Princess Ka'iulani
    MARILYN STASSEN-MCLAUGHLIN Unlucky Star: Princess Ka'iulani PRINCESS KA'IULANI has long been an enigma. The familiar stories of her short life offer little to go on. Published picture books describe the happy child or dutiful teenager or attractive woman, and the oft- told tales become a bit more romanticized with each retelling. It is dif- ficult to see a real Princess Ka'iulani moving through her adolescence in Europe: first, aware of herself as a princess, focused on her educa- tion, trying to please others; then her struggle through sadness and disillusionment; and finally the reluctant and sometimes bitter accep- tance of her fate—a princess with no kingdom to rule. When we peel away the myth, we see Ka'iulani as a young woman forced to face dramatic changes in her short life because of repeated disappointments and thwarted expectations. Through her letters and the observations of others, Ka'iulani becomes a multifaceted woman —a flesh-and-blood person, not a wispy, gauze-like replication. Princess Victoria Kawekiu Ka'iulani Lunalilo Kalaninuiahilapalapa Cleghorn, only direct heir by birth to the Hawaiian throne, was born October 16, 1875, to the resounding peal of bells from every church in Honolulu.1 Daughter of Princess Likelike and businessman Archi- bald Scott Cleghorn, she was reared to be royalty. Her mother died when Ka'iulani was only eleven, and the future princess was doted upon by her father, her Uncle David Kalakaua, and numerous rela- tives. She grew up surrounded with the certainty that she could some Marilyn Stassen-McLaughlin is a retired Punahou teacher, tutor, and freelance writer who has had a continuing interest in Princess Ka'iulani and the 'Ainahau Estate for more than twenty years.

  • Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai'i Tourism Authority Before the SENATE COMMITTEE on ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, and TOURISM
    Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai‘i Tourism Authority before the SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM Monday, February 8, 2021 3:00 PM State Capitol, Conference Room #224 In consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 916 RELATING TO TAXATION Chair Wakai, Vice Chair Misalucha, and members of the Committee on Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism: the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) supports Senate Bill 916, which specifies that the $1,000,000 of Transient Accommodations Tax revenues currently allocated to operate a Hawaiian center and the Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance may also be used to plan, design, and construct these facilities at an unspecified location. SB 916 is needed as we move forward to create the new Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance. This measure will allow the funds to be utilized both for operations and development of the center. Currently, the law does not provide clear guidance as to how the funds may be utilized. The term “operations,” as found in the current statute, appears to restrict the use of the funds to the day-to- day activities of a center. Since this will be a new endeavor, we believe that allowing the funds to also be used for the planning, design, and construction will encourage more interest as we move forward in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. It is for these reasons that HTA supports SB 916. We appreciate this opportunity to provide testimony.
