The pilings that are out there, that you have seen every time you have come here to this beach, are left over from the original pier that was built when the plantation was organized. They were out here in this remote area and they needed to get the sugar to market, and so that was built in order to get the sugar, and whatever else they were growing, to Honolulu to the markets.

  • Patricia Saiki Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript
    Patricia Saiki U.S. Representative of Hawaii (1987–1991) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript September 20, 2018 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “But when you present instances or examples where they are personally involved one way or another then the whole attitude changes. And so in politics, that’s what it is, isn’t it? It’s personal. You know, you can take any issue, but it doesn’t matter unless it affects you in some way or another. And I always took that as a way to reach people. I don’t care whether they’re Republican or Democrat or independent. It takes the issue and the persons involved, and you can make changes if you have a positive way of handling any serious question.” Patricia Saiki September 20, 2018 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biographies iv Interview 1 Notes 46 Abstract Patricia Saiki’s path to Capitol Hill began in Hawaii, where she was born to Japanese-American parents in 1930. While raising five children, she worked as a teacher, union organizer, and state legislator before winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986. She was the first Republican and second woman to represent Hawaii in Congress since statehood. In this interview, she discusses her long political career, providing insight into Hawaiian state politics, her legislative strategies as an elected representative at the state and federal level, and the role of women in American politics during the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

  • A Tribute to Patsy Takemoto Mink
    A Tribute to Patsy Takemoto Mink INTRODUCTION Tania Cruz* & Eric K. Yamamoto+ Patsy Takemoto Mink’s life generated a wave of praise for her work as a congressional and community leader. Upon her passing, numerous politicians, women’s groups and civil rights organizations reflected on her lifelong accomplishments, celebrating what an inspiration she had been to women and minorities throughout Hawai`i and the nation. As the first woman of color in Congress, Patsy committed her life to fighting for women’s rights and the rights of the poor and disenfranchised. Through her resounding voice, she ensured that the voices of those whom society had silenced would be heard. Yet, Patsy did more than speak about these causes—her life’s work was a testament to what she believed in and spoke so vehemently about in public. Patsy’s dedication to social justice was extraordinary. For even when the tide of public opinion was against her, she held steadfast to her beliefs and to her mission. Even after her death, her life continues to inspire people who sought to ensure her enduring legacy. In early 2003, four young women of color inspired by Patsy’s work—Tannaz Simyar, Della Au Belatti, Annie Lee and Tania Cruz—with the guidance of Professor Eric Yamamoto and support of Dean Lawrence Foster, conceived of and organized a tribute to Patsy to celebrate her many accomplishments and also to continue the social justice mission she began so many years earlier. On March 13, 2003, the William S. Richardson School of Law hosted “A Tribute to Patsy Mink.” The event, while paying tribute to Patsy, was far more than that.

  • Musings of an Old •Œpolâ•Š
    Musings of an Old “Pol” by Cecil Heftel (R) (former U.S. Congressman, State of Hawaii) When I thought about speaking with you today, I decided to not even think about what I would say but to act as though I have come to a meeting and somebody asked me to speak about having been in Congress, and to make it a conversation. to speak, not off the cuff, but out of a history and the feelings and experiences in a way that would just be as simple as two of us going to lunch and talking about it. The political system in Hawaii is a basic figurative. It’s a basic figurative because it is a controlled system. The Democratic Party has controlled it for fifty years. What did it give us? They gave us a corrupt legislature, and corrupt trustees of the Kamehameha Schools. They exploited the schools, they decimated the system, and they absconded with and caused hundreds of millions to be lost to the children who would attend Kamehameha Schools. Even worse, they had a political system of contributions, and if you noticed all of these little pieces coming out about all these people being indicted, about breaking the law in campaign funding. Well that’s a fifty year history of corruption. Nobody ever thought that there was any other system and nobody ever thought that anybody would ever be indicted for doing what everybody did all the time. It’s amazing; these things happen now. And, I was very unfortunate because I can remember when I was trying to raise funds to run for office and I found that I was boycotted.
