Over the past several months I have met with parish leaders in each of our nine vicariates to receive input on the renewal of our diocesan pasto- ral plan. I am grateful to all who shared their insights so that we can be good stewards of the resources of time, talent, and treasure that the Lord has entrusted to us for his mission. I am particularly grateful to James Walsh, Director of Pastoral Planning, for his great work on the develop- ment of this pastoral plan. Those who are familiar with our last pastoral plan “The Roadmap for Our Mission” will notice similarities between this current plan and the “Roadmap.” While the priorities may be similar, I want this pastoral plan to help us all direct our attention outward, and not simply to focus on the internal structures and programs of our diocese and parishes. This is in keeping with the mandate of Jesus himself: “Go, therefore, and make dis- ciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have com- manded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) Let us hearken back to the beginnings of the Catholic faith in Hawaii. In 1827, when the first Catholic missionaries of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary arrived here, they found a beautiful place with a beautiful culture, but one that knew little or nothing of Jesus Christ and his saving Gospel. The missionaries and all who supported them of- HCH file photo fered their time, talents, and treasure to make it possible for the Gospel of Bishop Larry Silva Jesus to be proclaimed in virgin territory, because they were all convinced of the saving power of the Word of God, who was made flesh in the per- son of Jesus. The Catholic faith they shared with the native Hawaiians and others who were living in Hawaii was a faith that transformed cultures. It respected the language and culture of the host country, but at the same “Stewards of time called it to conversion, to see things from a different perspective, the Gospel” and to shine a new light on marriage and family life, on economics and education, and on respect for human life and human dignity. They did not full document simply tithe on their time, talent, and treasure, but they gave all they had to bring the joy of the Gospel to these islands. The Catholic faith in many on pages 12-13 ways was counter-cultural, and although embraced by many, it was also suspect by others to the point of being outlawed for ten years (1829-39). Yet our ancestors in the faith never gave up in spite of the difficulties, the challenges, and even the persecutions. Because they took seriously their call to be stewards of the Gospel, we enjoy the legacy of the Catholic faith that grew from the seeds they planted.

P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

  • Rome, 18 October 2009 Ref: PG107/2009
    TO THE WHOLE ORDER “Blessed are Those Who Bring Good News.” (Isaiah: 7-10) Rome, 18 October 2009 ref: PG107/2009 My dear brothers and sisters in hospitality, Preamble On this occasion I would like to share with you some thoughts on two themes that are both relevant and topical at this time, at least in the Church and the Order. The first is that of missions (Ad Gentes – to the people) from the perspective of the Order or Family of St. John of God. The second topic is connected to the first, in terms of fidelity to his hospitaller calling, by Br. Eustace Kugler under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. Mission Ad Gentes As you know every year, in October, the Church celebrates and promotes missionary work. Those of us who make up the Family of St John of God see this as an opportunity to reflect on this matter, and above all on the great missionary drive that has characterised our Order, particularly since the Second Vatican Council, as the fruit of the Charism of Hospitality that we have received from our Divine Lord. The specific imperative which we have been given by the vow of Hospitality is not to provide care merely for the sick and needy people around us, but also to reach out to look for those in need, even in distant lands, and at all times according to the spirit of St John of God. For Hospitality, borders do not exist. Following the death of our Founder, the Brothers went out to Latin America, Africa, Asia as well as across Europe.

It articulates a foundation of mo‘olelo Hawai‘i in the twenty-first century as constructed from a long, rich history of oral tradition, performance, and writ- ing, in ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language), ‘ōlelo Pelekānia (English), and ‘ōlelo pa‘i‘ai (Hawai‘i Creole English, HCE, or “pidgin”). This essay maps the mo‘okū‘auhau (gene- alogy) of mo‘olelo Hawai‘i in its current form as a contemporized (post-eighteenth cen- tury) cultural practice resulting from the longer-standing tradition of haku (composing, including strictly oral compositions) and kākau (imprinting, writing). Beginning in the 1830s, kākau and pa‘i (printing) were composed from ‘ike Hawai‘i (Hawaiian knowl- edge) passed down mai ka pō mai (from the ancient past), reflecting innovations in the recording and transmission of ‘ike Hawai‘i, including mo‘olelo (narratives, stories, histories). ‘Ōlelo Mua / Introduction When I entered the PhD program in English at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in 1997, a professor stopped me in the hall one day. “What is there to possibly study in Hawaiian literature? Is that even a ‘thing’?” she inquired. While incensed by such ignorance, I politely smiled and replied, “Why, the same thing you do with English literature—periods, genres, and authors.” She seemed satisfied with my response, but also befuddled.

  • ʻōpūkahaʻia, Was at the Age of About Ten; Both His Parents Were Slain Before His Eyes
    ʻŌpūkahaʻia The Inspiration for the Hawaiian Mission Hostilities of Kamehameha’s conquest on Hawai‘i Island supposedly ended with the death of Keōua at Kawaihae Harbor in early-1792 and the placement of the vanquished chief’s body at Puʻukoholā Heiau at Kawaihae. The island was under the rule of Kamehameha. However, after a short time, another chief entered into a power dispute with Kamehameha; his name was Nāmakehā. In 1795, Kamehameha asked Nāmakehā, who lived in Kaʻū, Hawai‘i, for help in fighting Kalanikūpule and his Maui forces on O‘ahu, but Nāmakehā ignored the invitation. Instead, he opted to rebel against Kamehameha by tending to his enemies in Kaʻū, Puna and Hilo on Hawai‘i Island. Hostilities erupted between the two in 1796. The battle took place at Hilo. Kamehameha defeated Nāmakehā; his warriors next turned their rage upon the villages and families of the vanquished. The alarm was given of their approach. A family, who had supported Nāmakehā, the father (Ke‘au) taking his wife (Kamohoʻula) and two children fled to the mountains. There he concealed himself for several days with his family in a cave. (Brumaghim) The warriors found the family and killed the adults. A survivor, a son, ʻŌpūkahaʻia, was at the age of about ten; both his parents were slain before his eyes. The only surviving member of the family, besides himself, was an infant brother he hoped to save from the fate of his parents, and carried him on his back and fled from the enemy. But he was pursued, and his little brother, while on his back, was killed by a spear from the enemy.

  • Secret Sharers: Indigenous Beachcomers in the Pacific Islands
    PACIFIC STUDIES Vol. 17, No. 2 June 1994 SECRET SHARERS: INDIGENOUS BEACHCOMBERS IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS David A. Chappell University of Hawai‘i at Manoa . the secret sharer of my cabin and of my thoughts, as though he were my second self, had lowered himself into the water . a free man, a proud swimmer striking out for a new destiny. --Joseph Conrad, The Secret Sharer The acculturative role of beachcombers in the early history of European contact with the Pacific Islands has been recognized at least since H. E. Maude’s 1968 essay.1 In the late eighteenth century, as outsider- indigenous maritime relations intensified and convicts began to escape from the British penal colony in Australia, increasing numbers of ship deserters and castaways arrived on island beaches. To survive, they had to adapt and make themselves useful to their hosts, usually by acting as cultural mediators between ship and shore. Yet because foreign vessels often depended on recruiting native seamen to replace lost crew, Pacific Islander sailors-turned-beachcombers also participated in this accul- turation process. In fact, Maude suggested that European ships proba- bly stranded more natives on strange beaches than white expatriates, who were simply better documented. “This widespread inter-group mixing together of island peoples in early post-contact times is a factor of considerable importance to the anthropologist,” he wrote, “but the problems arising from intra-regional cross-cultural contact are not nec- essarily identical and require separate discussion.”2 That separate treat- ment, if justified, is long overdue. Before Europeans entered the Pacific, there had been considerable 1 2 Pacific Studies, Vol.

It will concentrate on several main issues: 1) The ancient Hawaiian concept of the soul of man in relation to ancestral or controlling spiritual beings in nature, or beyond nature, during human life and in a spiritual afterlife. 2) The relationship between the community worship of the chiefs and priests as a ruling class, and family ('ohana) worship in ancient pre-contact (1778-1779) and post-conversion (1820-) times, continuing into fragmented private family religious observances today in association with introduced forms of worship, reflecting positive or negative identity changes.

Puakea Nogelmeier DEDICATION In memory of Alton R. Brown and Steven Y. Kimura. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This journey, which has ended with a doctoral degree after eleven years and three months of being a student, began long before I decided, at forty-two, to enroll as a freshman in the University of Hawaiʻi System. Looking back, I can now clearly see the path that led me to this point. Along the way I was guided, protected, assisted, and inspired by ka poʻe akua, poʻe ʻaumākua, ka poʻe kūpuna, my ʻohana, my children, my friends, my kumu, and my students. As a Kanaka Maoli, I am deeply motivated by aloha and mahalo for the ʻāina, my kūpuna, and my fellow Kānaka Maoli—past and present. They have been at the forefront of my mind in any intellectual efforts I have produced, and will continue to inspire my future research. To all the intellectuals whose efforts have paved the way for my own, and whose works have influenced me, I am beholden. A special thanks to my dissertation chair Craig Howes whose tireless efforts have made me a better scholar. Three of my committee members are long-time mentors, Puakea Nogelmeier, kuʻualoha hoʻomanawanui, and Cristina Bacchilega, and I am eternally indebted to them.
