PRIMACY OF THE PACIFIC It TJHDKR THE HAYiAIlAN KINGDOM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIYISIOK OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS FEBRUARY 1951 9y Jason Horn _ _ . _ (4zicuy\. ^ I - 7 3 L 3 1-13 AT' CO/?. PREFACE Existing accounts of international diplomatic developments in 1887 affecting Samoa do not oover adequately the important role played by the Hawaiian Kingdom, This has been due largely to the unavailability of the requisite source material because of the geo­ graphical isolation of the Hawaiian Islands. This study is based very largely upon hitherto unpublished manuscript material in the Archives of Hawaii. It seeks not only to show fully Hawaii's role in the Samoan imbroglio of 1887. but also to give the complete his­ torical development of the axpansionlstlo "Primacy" policy in Hawaii up to its culmination in its most important phase, the Bush Mission and Kaimiloa Expedition of 1887. In doing the research for this study I have had the devoted assistance of my wife and the generous advice and assistance of Hiss Maude Jones, head of the Archives of Hawaii, and of her staff, especially Mrs. Aurora Domingo. Mrs. PhilomBna Morrison. Mr. Henry C. K. Choy, Mrs. Rachael Chang. Mr. Eugene Chang, and Ifr. David K. Piiaanu. Mr. Piimanu translated some Hawaiian-language material which otherwise oould not have been used. The quotation from the July. 1880. dispatch of the Chi ted States' Minister at Honolulu, cited in Chapter Til. was furnished by Professor Emeritus Ralph S. Kuykendall.

  • 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.

  • Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change
    The I and the We: Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change April K Henderson That the Samoan sense of self is relational, based on socio-spatial rela- tionships within larger collectives, is something of a truism—a statement of such obvious apparent truth that it is taken as a given. Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Taisi Efi, a former prime minister and current head of state of independent Sāmoa as well as an influential intellectual and essayist, has explained this Samoan relational identity: “I am not an individual; I am an integral part of the cosmos. I share divinity with my ancestors, the land, the seas and the skies. I am not an individual, because I share a ‘tofi’ (an inheritance) with my family, my village and my nation. I belong to my family and my family belongs to me. I belong to my village and my village belongs to me. I belong to my nation and my nation belongs to me. This is the essence of my sense of belonging” (Tui Atua 2003, 51). Elaborations of this relational self are consistent across the different political and geographical entities that Samoans currently inhabit. Par- ticipants in an Aotearoa/New Zealand–based project gathering Samoan perspectives on mental health similarly described “the Samoan self . as having meaning only in relationship with other people, not as an individ- ual. This self could not be separated from the ‘va’ or relational space that occurs between an individual and parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other extended family and community members” (Tamasese and others 2005, 303).

  • O Le Fogavaʻa E Tasi: Claiming Indigeneity Through Western Choral Practice in the Sāmoan Church
    O Le Fogavaʻa e Tasi: Claiming Indigeneity through Western Choral practice in the Sāmoan Church Jace Saplan University of Hawai‘i, Mānoa Abstract Indigenous performance of Native Sāmoa has been constructed through colonized and decolonized systems since the arrival of western missionaries. Today, the western choral tradition is considered a cultural practice of Sāmoan Indigeniety that exists through intersections of Indigenous protocol and eurocentric performance practice. This paper will explore these intersections through an analysis of Native Sāmoan understandings of gender, Indigenous understandings and prioritizations of western vocal pedagogy, and the Indigenization of western choral culture. Introduction Communal singing plays a significant role in Sāmoan society. Much like in the greater sphere of Polynesia, contemporary Sāmoan communities are codified and bound together through song. In Sāmoa, sa (evening devotions), Sunday church services, and inter-village festivals add to the vibrant propagation of communal music making. These practices exemplify the Sāmoan values of aiga (family) and lotu (church). Thus, the communal nature of these activities contributes to the cultural value of community (Anae, 1998). European missionaries introduced hymn singing and Christian theology in the 1800s; this is acknowledged as a significant influence on the paralleled values of Indigenous thought, as both facets illustrate the importance of community (McLean, 1986). Today, the church continues to amplify the cultural importance of community, and singing remains an important activity to propagate these values. In Sāmoa, singing is a universal activity. The vast majority of Native Sāmoans grow up singing in the church choir, and many Indigenous schools require students to participate in the school choir.

  • Mormon Beginnings in Samoa: Kimo Pelio, Samuela Manoa and Walter
    MORMON BEGINNINGS IN SAMOA: KIMO BELIO, SAMUELA MANOA AND WALTER MURRAY GIBSON by Spencer McBride Imprisoned in a Dutch prison in Malaysia, the young American adventurer Walter Murray Gibson claimed to have received a profound revelation. He writes, “While I lay in a dungeon in the island of Java, a voice said to me, ‘You shall show the way to a people, who shall build up a kingdom in these isles, whose lines of power shall run around the earth.’ My purposes of life were changed from that hour.”1 This, he felt, was confirmation of his previously imbedded ideas that he was indeed destined to create and lead an empire in the islands of the Pacific Ocean. When Gibson’s path crossed those of Kimo Belio, Samuela Manoa and the Mormon Church in Hawaii and Samoa, the results of his imperial mindset would have a significant effect. The arrival of the first “Mormon” missionaries in Samoa, and their 25 year stay in those islands without correspondence or assistance from the church’s headquarters, is a fascinating account worthy of being related in the most complete form possible. The calling of two native Hawaiians to serve such a mission helps to uncover the motivations of the politically ambitious man who had entwined his aspirations for empire with the building up of the Mormon Church. The unauthorized dispatch of Kimo Belio a Manoa to Samoa by Walter Murray Gibson was an attempt to further his own political aspirations by spreading the Mormon faith in the Pacific. However, the resulting missionary service of Belio and Manoa failed to grant Gibson greater political influence, but did successfully lay the foundation of a lasting Mormon presence in Samoa.

  • Introduction Navigating Spatial Relationships in Oceania
    INTRODUCTION NAVIGATING SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS IN OCEANIA Richard Feinberg Department of Anthropology Kent State University Kent OH USA [email protected] Cathleen Conboy Pyrek Independent Scholar Rineyville, KY [email protected] Alex Mawyer Center for Pacific Island Studies University of Hawai’i at Mānoa Honolulu, HI USA [email protected] Recent decades have seen a revival of interest in traditional voyaging equipment and techniques among Pacific Islanders. At key points, the Oceanic voyaging revival came together with anthropological interests in cognition. This special issue explores that intersection as it is expressed in cognitive models of space, both at sea and on land. These include techniques for “wave piloting” in the Marshall Islands, wind compasses and their utilization as part of an inclusive navigational tool kit in the Vaeakau-Taumako region of the Solomon Islands; notions of ‘front’ and ‘back’ on Taumako and in Samoa, ideas of ‘above’ and ‘below’ in the Bougainville region of Papua New Guinea, spaces associated with the living and the dead in the Trobriand Islands, and the understanding of navi- gation in terms of neuroscience and physics. Keywords: cognition, navigation, Oceania "1 Recent decades have seen a revival of interest in traditional voyaging equipment and techniques among Pacific Islanders. That resurgence was inspired largely by the exploits of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and its series of successful expeditions, beginning with the 1976 journey of Hōkūle‘a, a performance-accurate replica of an early Hawaiian voyaging canoe, from Hawai‘i to Tahiti (Finney 1979, 1994; Kyselka 1987). Hōkūle‘a (which translates as ‘Glad Star’, the Hawaiian name for Arcturus) has, over the ensuing decades, sailed throughout the Polynesian Triangle and beyond.

  • PACIFIC ISLANDS (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga)
    PACIFIC ISLANDS (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga) Who is a Pacific Islander? The “Pacific Islands” is how we are described because of our geographic location, “Islands, geographically located in the Pacific Ocean”. Today, we will talk and share with educators, health experts, and community members of the three dominant Pacific Islander populations who live in San Mateo County, namely, Fijians, Samoans, and Tongans. PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS • When you talk about the Pacific Islands, you are talking about different Island Nations. • Different heads of countries, from kings to presidents, etc. Even different forms of government. • Some are independent countries, yet some are under the rule of a foreign power. PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS • Each Island Nation has their own language. • There is not one language that is used or understood by all Pacific Islanders. • There are some similarities but each island nation has it’s own unique characteristics. • Challenge in grouping the islands as just one group, “Pacific Islanders”. ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC GREETINGS • From the Islands of Fiji “Bula Vinaka” • From the Islands of Samoa “Talofa Lava” • From the Kingdom of Tonga “Malo e Lelei” • From Chamorro “Hafa Adai” • From Tahiti “Ia Orana” • From Niue “Fakalofa atu” • From NZ Maoris “Tena Koe” • From Hawaii “Aloha” FIJI ISLANDS • Group of volcanic islands in the South Pacific, southwest of Honolulu. • Total of 322 islands, just over 100 are inhabited. • Biggest island Viti Levu, is the size of the “Big Island” of Hawaii. • Larger islands contain mountains as high as 4,000 feet. PEOPLE OF FIJI • Indigenous people are Fijians who are a mixture of Polynesian and Melanesian.
