When I was looking into getting a graduate degree, Kanalu was the graduate student advisor. He remembered me from my undergrad years, which at that point had been nine years earlier. He was open, inviting, and supportive of any idea I tossed at him. We had several more conversations after I joined the program, and every single one left me dizzy. I felt like I had just raced through two dozen different ideas streams in the span of ten minutes, and hoped that at some point I would recognize how many things I had just learned. I told him my thesis idea, and he went above and beyond to help. He also agreed to chair my committee. I was orignally going to write about Pana Oʻahu, the stories behind places on Oʻahu. Kanalu got the Pana Oʻahu (HWST 362) class put back on the schedule for the first time in a few years, and agreed to teach it with me as his assistant. The next summer, we started mapping out a whole new course stream of classes focusing on Pana Oʻahu. But that was his last summer.

  • Ka'iana, the Once Famous "Prince of Kaua'i3
    DAVID G. MILLER Ka'iana, the Once Famous "Prince of Kaua'i3 KA'IANA WAS SURELY the most famous Hawaiian in the world when he was killed in the battle of Nu'uanu in 1795, at the age of 40. He was the first Hawaiian chief who had traveled abroad, having in 1787-1788 visited China, the Philippines, and the Northwest Coast of America. In China, according to Captain Nathaniel Portlock, "his very name [was] revered by all ranks and conditions of the people of Canton."1 Books published in London in 1789 and 1790 by Portlock and Captain John Meares about their voyages in the Pacific told of Ka'iana's travels, and both included full-page engravings of the handsome, muscular, six-foot-two chief arrayed in his feathered cloak and helmet, stalwartly gripping a spear (figs. 1 and 2). Meares, on whose ships Ka'iana had sailed, captioned the portrait as "Tianna, a Prince of Atooi" (Kaua'i) and made Ka'iana "brother to the sovereign" of Kaua'i, a central character in his narrative.2 In the early 1790s, it was Ka'iana whom many foreign voyagers had heard of and sought out when visiting the Hawaiian Islands. Islanders from Kaua'i to Hawai'i knew Ka'iana personally as a warrior chief who had resided and fought on the major islands and who shifted his allegiance repeatedly among the ruling chiefs of his time. Today, when Ka'iana is remembered at all, he is likely to be David G. Miller, a Honolulu resident, has been researching biographical information on Hawaiian chiefs and chief esses, particularly lesser-known ones.

  • The Color of Nationality: Continuities and Discontinuities of Citizenship in Hawaiʻi
    The Color of Nationality: Continuities and Discontinuities of Citizenship in Hawaiʻi A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE DECEMBER 2014 By WILLY DANIEL KAIPO KAUAI Dissertation Committee: Neal Milner, Chairperson David Keanu Sai Deborah Halbert Charles Lawrence III Melody MacKenzie Puakea Nogelmeier Copyright ii iii Acknowledgements The year before I began my doctoral program there were less than fifty PhD holders in the world that were of aboriginal Hawaiian descent. At the time I didn’t realize the ramifications of such a grimacing statistic in part because I really didn’t understand what a PhD was. None of my family members held such a degree, and I didn’t know any PhD’s while I was growing up. The only doctors I knew were the ones that you go to when you were sick. I learned much later that the “Ph” in “PhD” referred to “philosophy,” which in Greek means “Love of Wisdom.” The Hawaiian equivalent of which, could be “aloha naʻauao.” While many of my family members were not PhD’s in the Greek sense, many of them were experts in the Hawaiian sense. I never had the opportunity to grow up next to a loko iʻa, or a lo’i, but I did grow up amidst paniolo, who knew as much about makai as they did mauka. Their deep knowledge and aloha for their wahi pana represented an unparalleled intellectual capacity for understanding the interdependency between land and life.

  • 1 DRAFT 5-13-15 1778 ROAD to STATEHOOD 1959 Prior to 1778 and Captain Cook the Following Is Quoted From
    DRAFT 5-13-15 1778 ROAD TO STATEHOOD 1959 Prior to 1778 and Captain Cook The following is quoted from www.freehawaii.org which obtained it from <http;//www.vrmaui.com/pray4hawaii/> History 1 - The Beginning to Pa‘ao All quotes, unless otherwise noted, are taken from Daniel Kikawa's excellent book, Perpetuated in Righteousness. The language of the Polynesian peoples is basically one language, the missionary translators who first assigned a written spelling for the different island groups, heard the words differently and represented these sounds that they heard with different letters. For instance the Hawaiian word for 'woman' is wahine (vah-hee-nee), the Tongan word for 'woman' is fahine (fah-hee-nee). Much like the differences between American English and British English - there is understanding but differences in accents and idioms. So, the oral traditions of the Polynesian peoples, with minor differences, give a remarkably similar account of their history and beliefs. There are Polynesians today, who can recite their lineage back to one common ancestor. Here are some excerpts from those accounts. Note that these predate the coming of the missionaries and were not influenced by Biblical record. These legends include stories from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Marquesa and the Maori of New Zealand. `Fornander (leading foreign source of Hawaiian history) said, ". I learned that the ancient Hawaiians at one time worshipped one god, comprised of three beings, and respectively called Kane, Ku and Lono, equal in nature, but distinctive in attributes..." This Polynesian god had many titles, but one name, too holy to be mentioned in casual conversation and this name was`Io.

  • The Pursuit of Power in Hawai'i from 1780 to 1796
    5 The Pursuit of Power in Hawai‘i from 1780 to 1796 This chapter introduces the third main theme of this book – that historical details matter and unification of the Hawaiian Islands was not inevitable simply because the necessary structural conditions were in place. The structural features proposed as essential prerequisites for unification were all in place in Hawai‘i well before the 1790s. Specific events and decisions influenced the course of history. Hawaiian traditions place limited emphasis on settlement patterns, carrying capacity and other structural characteristics of Hawaiian society. They focus on battles fought, rivals slain and marriage alliances successfully concluded. Environmental factors, political and social organisation may have set limits on action, but they could not dictate the specific course of events. That was a matter for the gods and ali‘i. A detailed examination of Hawaiian traditions suggest that events in the 1780s and 1790s allowed the relatively young and militarily weak chief Kamehameha to seize power through fortuitous circumstances and conciliatory practices pursued initially through his weak position but later, as his power consolidated, through choice. The 1780s saw the foremost military tactician and military innovator Kahekili expand his realm, while Kamehameha was preoccupied with consolidating his political heartland against older, more established subordinates. Kahekili overextended himself and alienated his new subjects with repressive measures, thereby weakening his realm and fatally dividing his polity into warring factions upon his death. Their fighting undermined their cohesive strength and allowed Kamehameha to achieve a relatively easy victory over 147 TRANSFORMING Hawai‘I their remnants in 1795. Detailed accounts of the battles of the 1790s, accompanied by battle maps, reveal that firearms and cannon did not and could not have been as decisive as many modern commentators suggest.

  • The First Chiefly Lineage of Lillian Kaeo Kanakaole Kekoolani and Her Great Grandchildren
    Kekoolani Family Genealogy No. 1 The First Chiefly Lineage of Lillian Kaeo Kanakaole Kekoolani and her Great Grandchildren 100 Generations This is a genealogy belonging to Lillian Kaeo Kanakaole Kekoolani through her great-grandmother Sarah Kanauilono Davis ("Kale"), daughter of Isaac Davis and the chiefess Nakai. The starting point of this genealogy can be located in the Kumulipo Geneaolgy (chant) at line No.1713 (Beckwith transcription). From that point, it is possible to go back further in the Kumulipo chant an additional 166 generations to a very early ancestor named Opu'upu'u (born about 5000 B.C.). One can follow the Kumulipo and go from Opu'upu'u even further back an additional 400 generations into mythical times. There one arrives at the first true human being from whom all others are said to come. She is an Eve-like female named named La'ila'i (born about 16,000 B.C.). She believed to be the Great Mother of all people around the world. This genealogy also shows how the Kekoolani family is descended from the Isaac Davis, the trusted Welsh military advisor and friend of Kamehameha, and also from Capt. Alexander Adams, the Brig Pilot of Honolulu for Kamehameha who came from Scotland. This chiefly genealogy of Lillian Kekoolani begins at 513 B.C., with each generation computed as 25 years. Lillian Kekoolani is buried at the Old Mormon Cemetery at Kalopa, Hamakua, Hawaii along with many of her children and other members of the Kekoolani family. The small family cemetery at Kalopa, Hawaii was rededicated in 2004.

  • To View/Download Background on the Four Young
    Hopu – Kanui – Honoli‘i – Humehume “It is worthy of remark, that in the providence or God, great effects result from apparently little causes. This remark is strikingly illustrated in the history of the Church. The most signal deliverances and successes have proceeded from small beginnings; and the most illustrious displays of divine power and grace, have been made in use of the feeblest instruments.” “The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs; and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.’” “The arrival in this country of several youth from the Sandwich Islands, and the leadings of Providence respecting them, have been views from the first, by those acquainted with the facts, as an indication of some important design, respecting the heathen od this Islands. – Under this impression, several individuals undertook to assist and patronize these youth.” “The arrival of others, from the same islands, and a knowledge of the fact, that young men of a promising character, might easily be obtained from other heathen countries, led to the plan of a School upon a larger scale”. (Five Youth) In October, 1816, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) decided to establish the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut, for the instruction of foreign youth. By 1817, a dozen students, six of them Hawaiians, were training at the Foreign Mission School to become missionaries to teach the Christian faith to people around the world.
