BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, MANOA CAMPUS Second Printing, 1979 Photocopy, Summer 1986 ,i ~ Foreword Each year the Pacific Islands Program plans to duplicate inexpensively a few work papers whose contents appear to justify a wider distribution than that of classroom contact or intra-University circulation. For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity.

F. Young Kehau Kahapea Velda Yamanaka , . • Revised 1974 Second Printing, 1979 PREFACE The Hawaiian Collection of the University of Hawaii Library is perhaps the world's largest, numbering more than 50,000 volumes. As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

  • Puana 'Ia Me Ka 'Oko'a: a Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian
    Vol. 5 (2011), pp. 107-133 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4494 Puana ‘Ia me ka ‘Oko‘a: A Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung Joseph Keola Donaghy University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and University of Otago, New Zealand In this paper I argue that the differences between spoken Hawaiian and vocal perfor- mance of western-influenced “traditional” Hawaiian music are representative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language. It contains a comparative analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung, using transcriptions of recorded examples by John Kameaaloha Almeida, a native speaker of the Hawaiian language and a prominent composer, singer, and instrumentalist. It will provide a pho- nemic analysis of notable and predictable variations heard in Hawaiian language vocal performances that are not heard in spoken Hawaiian. Further, it will show that rhythmic arrangement of morae over strong beats in the musical measure is largely analogous to accent in spoken Hawaiian, with some predictable exceptions. The paper also documents how, during his vocal performance, Almeida added three non-lexical vocables not heard in spoken Hawaiian. I argue that these characteristics and variation are indicative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language and, as such, are worthy of the same attention and scholarly scrutiny as spoken Hawaiian. The second goal of this applied research is to present the results in a manner that is accessible to practitioners of Hawaiian language performance. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 One day during my time as an undergraduate student in the Hawaiian Studies program at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, I was listening to a record- ing of Rev.

  • Read Liner Notes Here
    LINER NOTES Martin Pahinui Ho'olohe One of Hawaiian music‘s most gifted vocalists, John Martin Pahinui has performed with a host of top performers, including his father‘s legendary Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band, The Peter Moon Band, The Pahinui Brothers, Nina Kealiçiwahamana, Bill Kaiwa and slack key super group Hui Aloha (with slack key guitarists George Kuo and Dennis Kamakahi). The youngest child of Gabby Pahinui (1921-1980) and Emily Pahinui, Martin grew up surrounded by music— not only the amazing kï höçalu (slack key) in his family home but also the many other styles floating on the wind in Waimänalo, where he grew up and still lives. Like many children of famous musicians, Martin is keenly aware of a double responsibility: to honor his family‘s musical legacy and to always be himself. ―My daddy is a very big influence on all of us,‖ Martin says, ―but he always did things his own way, and he taught us to trust our own instincts too. He loved Hawaiian music but he wasn‘t afraid to change something if he felt it was the right thing to do. Some people would grumble, but he‘d say, ‗So what, some people grumble no matter what you do.‘ He always said to respect the song and the composer and the people who taught you, but never be afraid to express your own feelings when you play.‖ Recently, when the local rap group Sudden Rush asked the Pahinui family for their blessings to use a recording of Gabby‘s classic rendition of Hiçilawe, Martin supported them.

  • Mormon Influences on the Waikiki Entertainment Scene
    Mormon Influences on the Waikīkī Entertainment Scene by Ishmael W. Stagner, II Before we can discuss the influence of Mormon Hawaiians on the Waikīkī music scene, we need to understand a few things about the development of Hawaiian music and its relationship to things developing in Waikīkī. It is normally thought that the apex of Hawaiian entertaining is being able to entertain on a steady basis in a Waikīkī showroom, or venue. However, this has not always been the case, especially as this relates to the Waikīkī experience. In fact, we need to go back only to the post World War II period to see that entertaining in Waikīkī, especially on a steady basis, was both rare and limited to a very few selected entertainers, most of whom, surprisingly, were not Hawaiian. There were a number of reasons for this, but the main reason for the scarcity of Hawaiian, or Polynesian entertainers in Waikīkī in any great number, goes back to the history of Waikīkī itself. At the turn of the 20th century, Waikīkī was still mostly a swamp, filled with taro patches, rice paddies and fish ponds. We have only to look at the pictures of Ray Jerome Baker, the great photographer of early 20th century Honolulu, to see that Waikīkī was, first and foremost, a bread basket area whose lowlands were the delta areas for the run-off waters of Mānoa, Pauoa, and Pālolo streams. As such, Waikīkī fed much of what we call East Oahu, and rivaled the food production and water-storage capacities of better-known farming areas such as Kāne‘ohe, Kahalu‘u and Waiāhole.

  • 1 Statement of William G. Meyer III Before the House Committee On
    Statement of William G. Meyer III before the House Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs in strong support of SB 714 (Relating to Publicity Rights) Hearing: Tuesday, March 30, 2021, at 2:00pm Dear Chair Nakashima, Vice Chair Matayoshi, and Members of the House Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs: My name is William G. Meyer III, and I hereby express my strong support of SB 714. I have been practicing business law in Honolulu since 1979 with a focus on entertainment and intellectual property law. Over the years I have had the honor and opportunity to represent and assist many noted local artists, entertainers, and public figures and the heirs of such persons. Background – The Hawaii Publicity Rights Act (“HPRA”) In 2009, HPRA recognized the existence of a property right, known as the “right of publicity,” in a person's "persona" (i.e., their name, voice, signature, and likeness). The law was originally enacted to address concerns that the personas of Hawaii’s musicians, entertainers, and cultural icons, both living and dead, were being appropriated by third parties for commercial gain without the permission of such persons or their heirs. The genesis of HPRA was a dispute between a record label and the estate of the iconic Hawaiian artist "Aunty" Genoa Keawe over the use of (the then-deceased) Aunty Genoa’s persona despite the objections of her son, Mr. Eric Keawe. As a result of this dispute, and recognizing that other local artists and their heirs were subject to misappropriation of identity, the estate of Genoa Keawe and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (“OHA”) pushed for the passage of HPRA to protect the personas of all people, both living and dead, for a period of 70 years after their death.
