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. But even for the reader who is not using the book for statistical reference it will be found of great value. It tells in authoritative form the story of men who have had substantial parts in the development of Hawaii for the past 50 years and who today are foremost in its continued progress.

The Royal Commission was established, by proclamation of the Council of Regency, on April 17, 2019. Its mandate is to investigate war crimes and human rights violations committed within the territorial jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Kingdom since the unlawful overthrow of the Hawaiian government in 1893 and the subsequent belligerent occupation by the United States that has ensued since. I have a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa where I specialized in international relations and public law. My doctoral studies and publications focused on the legal and political history of the Hawaiian Kingdom and its prolonged occupation by the United States since 1893. I also served as an officer for ten years in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard, 1st Battalion 487th Field Artillery. Before I was honorably discharged in 1994, I served as commander for Charlie battery. I am aware that your office is responsible for having initiated investigations of myself and other officers of the Council of Regency.

  • 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.

  • A Murder, a Trial, a Hanging: the Kapea Case of 1897–1898
    esther k. arinaga & caroline a. garrett A Murder, a Trial, a Hanging: The Kapea Case of 1897–1898 Kapea was a 20 year-old Hawaiian man executed by hanging for the murder of Dr. Jared K. Smith of Köloa, Kaua‘i.1 Kapea’s 1897–98 arrest, trial, and execution in the fi nal years of the Republic of Hawai‘i illustrates legal, political, and cultural dynamics which found expres- sion in Hawai‘i’s courts during the critical years preceding Hawai‘i’s annexation to the United States. In 1874 David Kaläkaua succeeded Lunalilo as monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Aware that Native Hawaiians were increasingly dispossessed of their land and were further disenfranchised as disease drastically diminished their numbers, Kaläkaua set out to have his cabinet and legislature controlled by Native Hawaiians. Inevitably, he clashed with the white population, primarily missionary descendants. A duel ensued between a “willful Hawaiian King and a headstrong white opposition.” This was a new “band of righteous men,” who like earlier missionaries, felt it was their moral duty, the white man’s des- tiny, and in their own self-interest to govern and save the natives.2 In 1887 Kaläkaua’s reign began its swift descent. A new constitu- tion, forced upon the King at “bayonet” point, brought changes in Esther Kwon Arinaga is a retired public interest lawyer and has published essays on early women lawyers of Hawai‘i and Korean immigration to the United States.

Farnham ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the ways in which working-class Kānaka Hawai’i (Hawaiian) immigrants in the nineteenth century repurposed and repackaged precontact Hawai’i strategies of accommodation and resistance in their migration towards North America and particularly within California. The arrival of European naturalists, American missionaries, and foreign merchants in the Hawaiian Islands is frequently attributed for triggering this diaspora. However, little has been written about why Hawaiian immigrants themselves chose to migrate eastward across the Pacific or their reasons for permanent settlement in California. Like the ali’i on the Islands, Hawaiian commoners in the diaspora exercised agency in their accommodation and resistance to Pacific imperialism and colonialism as well. Blending labor history, religious history, and anthropology, this thesis adopts an interdisciplinary and ethnohistorical approach that utilizes Hawaiian-language newspapers, American missionary letters, and oral histories from California’s indigenous peoples.

  • Hawaiʻi's Big Five
    Hawaiʻi’s Big Five (Plus 2) “By 1941, every time a native Hawaiian switched on his lights, turned on the gas or rode on a street car, he paid a tiny tribute into Big Five coffers.” (Alexander MacDonald, 1944) The story of Hawaii’s largest companies dominates Hawaiʻi’s economic history. Since the early/mid- 1800s, until relatively recently, five major companies emerged and dominated the Island’s economic framework. Their common trait: they were focused on agriculture - sugar. They became known as the Big Five: C. Brewer (1826;) Theo H. Davies (1845;) Amfac - starting as Hackfeld & Company (1849;) Castle & Cooke (1851) and Alexander & Baldwin (1870.) C. Brewer & Co.

Actually, only Castle & Cooke has direct ties to the mission. However, Castle ran the ‘depository’ and Cooke was a teacher, neither were missionary ministers. Alexander & Baldwin were sons of missionaries, but not a formal part of the mission.

  • Gm1 Testimony Jdc 09-10-19
    CLARE. E. CONNORS September 9, 2019 The Honorable Karl Rhoads, Chair and Members of the Judiciary Committee Committee on Judiciary Hawaii State Capitol 415 So. Beretania Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Chair Rhoads and Members of the Judiciary Committee: Re: GM1 - Nomination of Clyde J. Wadsworth Intermediate Court of Appeals I submit this testimony in strong support of Clyde J. Wadsworth to serve as an Associate Judge on the Intermediate Court of Appeals. Most of my personal knowledge of Mr. Wadsworth comes from the last eight months, during which time we have worked together on behalf of the State of Hawai’i. He has been a true resource to the State and specifically, to the Department of the Attorney General (Department). Not only is he a highly skilled appellate attorney, as demonstrated both by his written and oral advocacy, he is frequently called upon to advise the Department in ongoing matters and disputes. He has been called upon in these instances because his deep understanding of the law, alongside his insight into possible appellate outcomes, has proven invaluable in assisting the Department in its many problem-solving endeavors. As a result of this collaboration at the Department, Mr. Wadsworth has come to understand the challenges of the executive in governing, including in the implementation of judicial and legislative mandates. In his role as Solicitor General, he not only has defended the various branches of State government — including State agencies as well as the Legislature and the Judiciary — he has been a part of the task of ensuring that the Department’s executive functions comport with governing laws and policies.
