MAHALO! OUTREACH At our last general membership meeting, club member Tomi Chong submitted a letter to the club asking for financial support of disadvantaged children who paddle for Anuenue Canoe Club. Apparently the children (about 10) who are from broken/foster homes or dysfunctional families cannot afford to pay the membership fee of $60.00 and they could use some financial help. If any of our club members are interested in donating any amount of money to their cause, please contact President Anita Naone at 261-2952 (h) or 438-2797 (w) for more information.

Conklin, Ph.D. Executive Director e-mail [email protected] Unity, Equality, Aloha for all To: HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION For hearing Thursday, March 18, 2021 Re: HCR179, HR148 URGING THE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION TO REQUEST THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL BACK TO THE SCHOOL'S PREVIOUS NAME OF HONOLULU HIGH SCHOOL AND TO REMOVE THE STATUE OF PRESIDENT MCKINLEY FROM THE SCHOOL PREMISES TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION There is only one reason why some activists want to abolish "McKinley" from the name of the school and remove his statue from the campus. The reason is, they want to rip the 50th star off the American flag and return Hawaii to its former status as an independent nation. And through this resolution they want to enlist you legislators as collaborators in their treasonous propaganda campaign. The strongest evidence that this is their motive is easy to see in the "whereas" clauses of this resolution and in documents provided by the NEA and the HSTA which are filled with historical falsehoods trashing the alleged U.S. "invasion" and "occupation" of Hawaii; alleged HCR179, HR148 Page !1 of !10 Conklin HSE EDN 031821 suppression of Hawaiian language and culture; and civics curriculum in the early Territorial period. Portraying Native Hawaiians as victims of colonial oppression and/or belligerent military occupation is designed to bolster demands to "give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians", thereby producing a race-supremacist government and turning the other 80% of Hawaii's people into second-class citizens.

  • Hawaiian Mission Children Named After Ali'ì
    Hawaiian Mission Children Named After Ali‘ì “I was born in the ‘Old Mission House’ in Honolulu on the 5th day of July, 1831. When I was but a few hours old, ‘Kīna’u,’ the Premier, came into the bedroom with her crowd of ‘kahus,’ took me into her arms and said that she wanted to adopt me, as she had no girl of her own.” “My mother, in her weak state, was terribly agitated, knowing that the missionaries were unpopular and entirely dependent on the good-will of the natives, so feared the consequences of a denial. They sent for my father in haste, who took in the state of affairs at a glance.” “’We don’t give away our children,’ he said to Kīna’u. ‘But you are poor, I am rich, I give you much money,’ replied the Chiefess. ‘No, you can’t have her,’ my father answered firmly. Kīna’u tossed me angrily down on the bed and walked away, leaving my poor mother in a very anxious frame of mind.” (Wilder; Wight) “She accordingly went away in an angry and sullen mood, and was not heard from until the infant was being christened a few weeks later, when she again appeared, elbowed the father to one side, and exclaimed in the haughtiest of tones, ‘Call the little baby Kīna’u.’” “Fearing that a second refusal would result disastrously, the parents agreed, and the child was accordingly christened Elizabeth Kīna’u Judd.” (The Friend, May 1912) Kīna’u “seemed somewhat appeased after the (christening) ceremony, and, as I was the first white girl she had ever seen, deigned from that time on to show a great interest in me, either visiting me or having me visit her every day.” (Wright, Wight) Kīna’u, daughter of Kamehameha I, became a Christian in 1830.

  • History of Ko`Olaupoko
    Appendix D: Historical Data related to Ko`olaupoko HISTORY OF KO`OLAUPOKO The first Polynesians arrived in Hawai`i sometime around the 5th century A.D., sailing thousands of miles across the vast Pacific Ocean, from the southwestern regions where Tahiti, New Zealand, and the Society Islands reside. They were seasoned, experienced sailors with a wealth of knowledge of the winds, the ocean currents and the heavens. With no form of written language, all of their experiences were remembered and passed on to the following generations orally, sometimes through songs (mele), dances (hula), or chants (oli). It is uncertain as to when these first peoples eventually settled on the windward side of O`ahu (east O`ahu), but archaeological evidence confirms their existence in the 13th century A.D. The windward side of O`ahu is made up of two districts: Ko`olauloa (long Ko`olau) to the north, and Ko`olaupoko (short Ko`olau) to the south. These districts are bordered on the west by the entire ridge of the Ko`olau Mountain range. Within each district are several land divisions called ahupua`a, which extend from the mountain ridges to beyond the reefs offshore. The land was divided this way so that families could have access to the provisions of both the land (`aina) and the sea (kai). Ko`olaupoko, that region which encompasses Kane`ohe Bay, is divided into nine ahupua`a, with Kualoa being the northernmost (and smallest), and Kane`ohe being the southernmost (and largest). From north to south the nine ahupua`a are Kualoa, Hakipu`u, Waikane, Waiahole, Ka`alaea, Waihe`e, Kahalu`u, He`eia, and Kane`ohe.

  • Broken Trust
    Introduction to the Open Access Edition of Broken Trust Judge Samuel P. King and I wrote Broken Trust to help protect the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. We assigned all royal- ties to local charities, donated thousands of copies to libraries and high schools, and posted source documents to BrokenTrustBook.com. Below, the Kamehameha Schools trustees explain their decision to support the open access edition, which makes it readily available to the public. That they chose to do so would have delighted Judge King immensely, as it does me. Mahalo nui loa to them and to University of Hawai‘i Press for its cooperation and assistance. Randall W. Roth, September 2017 “This year, Kamehameha Schools celebrates 130 years of educating our students as we strive to achieve the thriving lāhui envisioned by our founder, Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop. We decided to participate in bringing Broken Trust to an open access platform both to recognize and honor the dedication and courage of the people involved in our lāhui during that period of time and to acknowledge this significant period in our history. We also felt it was important to make this resource openly available to students, today and in the future, so that the lessons learned might continue to make us healthier as an organization and as a com- munity. Indeed, Kamehameha Schools is stronger today in governance and structure fully knowing that our organization is accountable to the people we serve.” —The Trustees of Kamehameha Schools, September 2017 “In Hawai‘i, we tend not to speak up, even when we know that some- thing is wrong.

  • Lawrence (Larry) “Harbottle” Kamakawiwoole
    KOKUA HAWAII ORAL HISTORY PROJECT INTERVIEW WITH Lawrence (Larry) “Harbottle” Kamakawiwoole Lawrence (Larry) “Harbottle” Kamakawiwoole had a Master of Divinity degree from the Pacific School of Religion (PSR) in Berkeley, California, and, at 27 years old in 1970, was a teaching assistant in the Department of Religion at the University of Hawaii at Manoa when he was asked to look into the plight of Kalama Valley residents and farmers facing eviction at the hands of the Bishop Estate, the largest private landowner in Hawaii. This community land struggle has been considered as the precursor of the Hawaiian Renaissance. While a graduate student at PSR, Larry was a member of the Third World Liberation Front at PSR and had the opportunity to meet Afro- American leaders, such as Bobby Seale, a Black Panther Party leader, and Hazaiah Williams, Lawrence Kamakawiwoole Photo courtesy Ed Greevy who formed the Center for Urban-Black Studies at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Working with various ethnic groups, such as Asians, African Americans and Hispanics, Kamakawiwoole gained organizational skills which helped him to bring together various groups to support the residents and farmers of Kalama Valley, including many Native Hawaiians. Kamakawiwoole often served as the spokesperson for the Kokua Kalama Committee, which later became known as Kokua Hawaii. He served as the first full-time director of the Ethnic Studies Program. He later received a Master of Education degree from the University of Hawaii and a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. In 2015 and 2016, Gary T. Kubota interviewed Larry on several occasions at his home in Honolulu.
