  • The Dread Taboo, Human Sacrifice, and Pearl Harbor
    The Dread Taboo, Human Sacrifice, and Pearl Harbor RDKHennan The word taboo, or tabu, is well known to everyone, but it is especially interesting that it is one of but two or possibly three words from the Polynesian language to have been adopted by the English-speaking world. While the original meaning of the taboo was "Sacred" or "Set apart," usage has given it a decidedly secular meaning, and it has become a part of everyday speech all over the world. In the Hawaiian lan­ guage the word is "kapu," and in Honolulu we often see a sign on a newly planted lawn or in a park that reads, not, "Keep off the Grass," but, "Kapu." And to understand the history and character of the Hawaiian people, and be able to interpret many things in our modern life in these islands, one must have some knowledge of the story of the taboo in Hawaii. ANTOINETTE WITHINGTON, "The Dread Taboo," in Hawaiian Tapestry Captain Cook's arrival in the Hawaiian Islands signaled more than just the arrival of western geographical and scientific order; it was the arrival of British social and political order, of British law and order as well. From Cook onward, westerners coming to the islands used their own social­ civil codes as a basis to judge, interpret, describe, and almost uniformly condemn Hawaiian social and civil codes. With this condemnation, west­ erners justified the imposition of their own order on the Hawaiians, lead­ ing to a justification of colonialism and the loss of land and power for the indigenous peoples.

  • Heiau and Noted Places of the Makena–Keone'ö'io Region
    HEIAU AND NOTED PLACES OF THE MAKENA–KEONE‘Ö‘IO REGION OF HONUA‘ULA DESCRIBED IN HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS (1870S-1930S) This section of the study presents readers with verbatim accounts of heiau and other cultural properties as described by researchers in the region of Honua‘ula—with emphasis on the ahupua‘a of Ka‘eo—since 1916. Detailed research was conducted in collections of the Bishop Museum, Maui Historical Society, Mission Children’s Society Library-Hawaiian Historical Society, and Hawaii State Archives as a part of this study. While a significant collection of references to traditional-cultural properties and historical sites was found, only limited and inconclusive documentation pertaining to the “Kalani Heiau” (Site 196) on the Garcia family property was located. Except for documentation associated with two kuleana awarded during the Mähele of 1848, no other information pertaining to sites on the property was located in the historical accounts. In regards to the “Kalani Heiau,” the earliest reference to a heiau of that name was made in 1916, though the site was not visited, or the specific location given. It was not until 1929, that a specific location for “Kalani Heiau” was recorded by W. Walker (Walker, ms. 1930-31), who conducted an archaeological survey on Maui, for the Bishop Museum. The location of Walker’s “Site No. 196” coincides with that of the “Kalani Heiau” on the Garcia property, but it also coincides with the area claimed by Mähele Awardee, Maaweiki (Helu 3676)—a portion of the claim was awarded as a house lot for Maaweiki. While only limited information of the heiau, and other sites on the property could be located, it is clear that Site No.

  • Pahua Heiau, Maunalua, O‘Ahu
    Ke Kula Wela La o Pahua The Cultural and Historical Significance of Pahua Heiau, Maunalua, O‘ahu Research Division Land, Culture, and History May 2014 Holly Coleman, M.A. Research Analyst Front and Back Cover: Pahua Heiau, Maunalua, O‘ahu. Source: OHA, 2014. 2 Executive Summary OHA received its first landholding, Pahua Heiau, in 1988. Pahua sits on a small 1.15 acre parcel of land located in southeastern O‘ahu in a residential neighbor- hood of Maunalua (which is now known as Hawai‘i Kai). This report seeks to explore the cultural and historical narratives of Pahua Heiau. It is hoped that this effort will renew a modern, collective understanding of Pahua as a wahi pana (storied place) and will guide stewardship practices within OHA. Pahua remains a vital cultural and historical resource for Native Hawaiians and the broader community. The goal of this report is to make important ‘ike ‘äina (intimate and nuanced knowledge about a place) about Pahua Heiau more readily available to the public, and will hopefully inform future decisions about the site. OHA seeks to steward Pahua in a way that fulfills OHA’s kuleana to Native Ha- waiians, honors Pahua as a wahi pana (storied, noted, legendary place), and ac- tively involves the community in care of the site. In particular, Pahua represents an important opportunity to develop and implement strategies that are rooted in traditional Native Hawaiian cultural practices and informed by Native Hawaiian epistemologies in ways that cultivate meaningful, impactful, and long–term stew- ardship.

K. Oldroyd English Department Bachelor of Arts This thesis offers an exploration of the Hawaiian Iconoclasm of 1819 through the lens of an historical fiction novella. The thesis consists of two parts: a critical introduction outlining the theoretical background and writing process and the novella itself. 1819 was a year of incredible change on Hawaiian Islands. Kamehameha, the Great Uniter and first monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, had recently died, thousands of the indigenous population were dying, and foreign powers were arriving with increasing frequency, bringing with them change that could not be undone.

  • Appendix V4c: Local Economic Development Analysis
    1 APPENDIX V4C: LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS 2 Introduction 3 Purpose 4 This appendix summarizes the background information that informs consideration of alternative 5 strategies for building a robust local economy. Those strategies that are best aligned with Hāmākua’s 6 Community Objectives and most feasible will be included in CDP Chapter IV3: “Build a Robust Local 7 Economy.” 8 Importantly, this appendix is NOT the Hāmākua CDP – it does not establish policy or identify plans of 9 action. Instead, for issues related to local economic development, including agriculture, renewable 10 energy, ecosystem services, the health care industry, the education field, the visitor industry, retail, this 11 appendix does four things: 12 . Outlines existing policy, especially County policy established in the General Plan; 13 . Summarizes related, past planning and studies; 14 . Introduces alternative strategies available to achieve Hāmākua’s community objectives; 15 . Preliminarily identifies feasible strategy directions. 16 In other words, this appendix sets the context for identifying preferred CDP strategies. Existing policy 17 provides the framework in which the CDP is operating, related plans identify complementary initiatives, 18 and alternative strategies introduce the “tool box” from which the CDP can choose the best tools for the 19 CDP Planning Area. 20 This appendix complements Appendices V4A and V4B, which focus on natural and cultural resource 21 management and community building, respectively. In those appendices, issues related to but distinct 22 from economic development are discussed in greater detail, including the preservation of open space 23 and agricultural land, historic preservation, watershed and coastal management, access and trails, 24 cultural centers, land use regulations, infrastructure, housing, human services, schools, parks, and 25 community-based, collaborative action.
