The ‘Āinahau ban- yan has inspired poets, generated controversy and influenced leg- islation. Hundreds of individuals have rallied to help preserve the ‘Āinahau banyan and its numerous descendants. It is fitting that Archibald Cleghorn (15 November 1835–1 Novem- ber 1910), brought the banyan to Hawai‘i, for the businessman con- tinued the legacy of the traders from whom the banyan derives it etymology.

  • BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Roland Dacoscos
    BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Roland Dacoscos Roland Dacoscos was born January 24, 1921 in Waipahu. The son of Filipino immigrants, he spent his early childhood in Iwilei, Kaka'ako, and Kalihi. He attended Opportunity School, Pohukaina School, Lanakila School, Washington Intermediate School, and McKinley High School, where he quit after his sophomore year. During the sixth grade, he spent a year on Maui, where his father and three older brothers traveled to various plantation camps and taught music. He began his professional music career playing in nightclubs and taxi dance halls after he quit high school. When the war started, he volunteered for the Hawai'i Territorial Guard and was trained as a medical aide. Then in 1943, he joined the 298th Regiment and played in the band. In 1944, his unit was stationed in Guadalcanal. He was discharged from the army in 1945, and resumed his work as a musician playing in nightclubs and military bases. After marrying in 1947, he took courses through the GI Bill. He spent a short time as a piano tuner at Metronome Music Store, followed by a job as a electrician helper at Pearl Harbor. In 1956 he became a member of the Royal Hawaiian Band as a saxophone player. He retired in 1986. He continued to be active in retirement, and volunteered at Lanakila Multi-Purpose Senior Center. He died in 1993. 379 380 Tape Nos. 22-34-1-92 and 22-35-1-92 ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW with Roland Dacoscos (RD) May 1, 1992 Kalihi, O'ahu BY: Joe Rossi (JR) JR: This is an interview with Roland Dacoscos on May 1, 1992, in his Kalihi home.

  • Broken Trust
    Introduction to the Open Access Edition of Broken Trust Judge Samuel P. King and I wrote Broken Trust to help protect the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. We assigned all royal- ties to local charities, donated thousands of copies to libraries and high schools, and posted source documents to BrokenTrustBook.com. Below, the Kamehameha Schools trustees explain their decision to support the open access edition, which makes it readily available to the public. That they chose to do so would have delighted Judge King immensely, as it does me. Mahalo nui loa to them and to University of Hawai‘i Press for its cooperation and assistance. Randall W. Roth, September 2017 “This year, Kamehameha Schools celebrates 130 years of educating our students as we strive to achieve the thriving lāhui envisioned by our founder, Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop. We decided to participate in bringing Broken Trust to an open access platform both to recognize and honor the dedication and courage of the people involved in our lāhui during that period of time and to acknowledge this significant period in our history. We also felt it was important to make this resource openly available to students, today and in the future, so that the lessons learned might continue to make us healthier as an organization and as a com- munity. Indeed, Kamehameha Schools is stronger today in governance and structure fully knowing that our organization is accountable to the people we serve.” —The Trustees of Kamehameha Schools, September 2017 “In Hawai‘i, we tend not to speak up, even when we know that some- thing is wrong.

The class consists of ten students from various backgrounds and connec- tions to the Pacific region. Late in the fall 2013 semester, Professor Lola contacted me about aiding her students with the research component of their projects. In spring 2013 I was one of Professor Lola’s students in the graduate level course PACS 603, Researching Oceania. She also knew that I not only have my MLISc from the University of Hawaiʻi, but also work as a part time reference librarian in the Hawaiian and Pacific collections. Professor Lola and I worked out what my role would be for the class, and on the advice of Stu Dawrs and Eleanor Kleiber, arrived at the designation of embedded librarian. As my current position in the library is solely for reference in the Hawaiian and Pacific collections, my work as an embedded librarian is volunteer service. Luckily, it has many benefits: first, and most importantly, I am able to assist and build relationships with students as they conduct research, I am strengthening my instruction skills, and I have expanded my own knowledge of different topics related to Pacific studies.

  • Men of Hawaii" to the Public a Public Considerably Wider Than the Bounds of - - the Territory Its Editors and Publishers Have a Two- Fold Purpose
    1AWAB BEflNQ A LIBRARY, COMPLETE AND AUTHENTBC, OF THE MEH OF IEVEM EDITED BY JOHN WILLIAM SIDDALL PUBLISHED BY HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, LIMITED TERRITORY OF HAWAII 1917 t -> ' 87427V T % ' - > * COPYRIGHT. 1917 HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, LTD. HONOLULU. HAWAII N PRESENTING "Men of Hawaii" to the public a public considerably wider than the bounds of - - the Territory its editors and publishers have a two- fold purpose. First, the book is a standard reference work, compre- hensive, complete and authoritative. It is a publication compiled with a care and a system of collecting information which in- sures its accuracy and insures also that justice is done to its subject. It is a reference volume presenting biographically pertinent facts about the men of Hawaii who lead in their respective fields. In general these fields are the business or commercial, the professional, the educational, the religious and the scientific covering all activities which in Hawaii have brought its men to the front as potent and constructive factors in their communities. Secondly, the book is a series of milestones of achieve- ments. It has been truly said that the progress of any gener- ation, of any century, of any country, of any nation may be measured by the biographies of its men. In Hawaii this is true today as in ancient Greece, medieval Rome, modern France, or England, or the mainland United States. Hawaii is a modern American community with its roots far back in the past. Here the primitive life of Polynesia has been moulded and modified by the influx of many races, bloods and languages.

Copyright, 1930, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Limited Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. U.S.A. FOREWORD “ EN OF HAWAII,’ is the fourth volume of bio­ graphical records in the regular series which has been published, beginning with l9l7, by The Honolulu Star­ Bulletin. This series aims to make available for the present, and to preserve for the future, the life stories of leaders in various fields of the Hawaiian Islands. It is a history of community and territorial progress, told in the form of biographical sketches, and the steady demand for the editions of previous years has abundantly illustrated its interest and its value. Both as a record of enterprise and achievement, and as a compilation of chronological facts, “Nlen of Hawaii" has be­ -comea standard reference work in Hawaii and abroad. Copies are sent all over the world. Libraries in distant cities call for the succeeding editions. Locally, the book is constantly in use. This book is Volume IV of “lVlen of Hawaii.” The first edition was in l9l7, the second in l9Zl, the third in I925. To a certain degree the present edition supplements and com­ plements “Builders of Hawaii” U925), with which was incorporated that year’s edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii.” For the broadest coverage of Hawaiian biographical record, "Builders of Hawaii" and this l930 edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii" should be treated as one work, and so maintained in reference libraries.
