We worked with Kipuka Native Hawaiian Student Center to stay true to UH Hilo’s mission and values when adopting the new logo. Hohonu, in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, means deep or profound. The image of the honu represents this through its life history. The honu is an animal that exists in both terrestrial and marine environments. Honu can access the deepest parts of our oceans, yet at the same time, relies on land to rest and rejuvenate to be able to access the depths once more. In Hawaiian culture, the ocean and depths of the ocean are Kanaloa, while the open sky, light, things we can see and are familiar with are Kane. Looking at the mythological symbolism of Kanaloa and Kane, we find our subconsciousness and consciousness. The honu dives deep into the subconscious bringing to the surface ancestral knowledge. The work contained in this journal represents the journey of our haumāna through the realms of the conscious and subconscious by expressing the trans- fer of knowledge to the written word. iii UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT HILO ◆ HOHONU 2020 ◆ VOL. 18 Letter from the Team Aloha! Every member of the Hohonu team was new to the journal this year -- two of us were even brand new to the UH Hilo lāhui. Hohonu has offered a unique way for us to deepen our connection with the UH campus community, from working tabling events to class visits to the one-on-one editing time with our student authors. At times this has been incredibly challenging, but we feel that the experience has been one of growth and adaptation for all of us. We are proud of the size and scope of the journal and the wide range of research papers our team has had the privilege to manage this year. Our skills as writers have vastly improved with the adoption of a stronger editorial lens. Looking ahead to graduation, we know that working for Hohonu has been an experience that we will carry to grad school and beyond. We wanted to especially thank our Faculty Advisor, Kirsten Møllegaard who is a fountain of knowledge. The Board of Student Publications for always being there to support the needs of the journal from advice to manpower. We’d also like to acknowledge our publication coordinator, Maile Boggeln. She has been a rock for the organization with advice, encouragement, and a constant level head. Finally, a big mahalo nui loa to all of the students courageous enough to submit your work. This journal would not exist without you!

  • 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.

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.

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.

It became known as the Bayonet Constitution for the use of intimidation by the armed militia which forced King Kalākaua to sign it or be deposed. The document created a constitutional monarchy like that of the United Kingdom, stripping the King of most of his personal authority, empowering the legislature and cabinet of the government. Rebellion of 1887 On June 30, 1887 a meeting of residents including the armed militia of the Honolulu Rifles and politicians who later formed the Reform Party of the Hawaiian Kingdom demanded King Kalākaua dismiss his cabinet headed by the controversial Walter M.

    gary scharnhorst “ I Wish to Know More About the Islands”: Kate Field in Hawaii, 1895–1896 Though she is virtually unknown today, Kate Field (1838 –1896) was “one of the best-known women in America” during her life, according to her obituary in the New York Tribune.1 A member of the expatri- ate community in Florence, Italy in the late 1850s, she befriended the Brownings, the Trollopes, and Walter Savage Landor while she was still in short dresses. One of the fi rst women to contribute to the Atlantic Monthly, she covered the eastern leg of Charles Dickens’ fi nal speaking tour of the U.S. for the New York Tribune in 1867–68. A popular lecturer and prolifi c writer, author of the best-selling travel books Hap -Hazard (1873) and Ten Days in Spain (1874), she was also the model for the character of the journalist Henrietta Stackpole in Henry James’ novel The Portrait of a Lady (1881).2 More to the point, Field traveled to Hawai‘i on assignment for the Chicago Times-Herald in November 1895 ostensibly to “study” the question of annexation. Her 33 columns from O‘ahu over the next four months, particularly her interview with President Sanford Dole, were widely quoted across the U.S. Unfortunately, their historical importance has never been recognized. In effect, they offer a series of snapshots of the short-lived Gary Scharnhorst is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of New Mexico.

Puakea Nogelmeier DEDICATION In memory of Alton R. Brown and Steven Y. Kimura. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This journey, which has ended with a doctoral degree after eleven years and three months of being a student, began long before I decided, at forty-two, to enroll as a freshman in the University of Hawaiʻi System. Looking back, I can now clearly see the path that led me to this point. Along the way I was guided, protected, assisted, and inspired by ka poʻe akua, poʻe ʻaumākua, ka poʻe kūpuna, my ʻohana, my children, my friends, my kumu, and my students. As a Kanaka Maoli, I am deeply motivated by aloha and mahalo for the ʻāina, my kūpuna, and my fellow Kānaka Maoli—past and present. They have been at the forefront of my mind in any intellectual efforts I have produced, and will continue to inspire my future research. To all the intellectuals whose efforts have paved the way for my own, and whose works have influenced me, I am beholden. A special thanks to my dissertation chair Craig Howes whose tireless efforts have made me a better scholar. Three of my committee members are long-time mentors, Puakea Nogelmeier, kuʻualoha hoʻomanawanui, and Cristina Bacchilega, and I am eternally indebted to them.
