the twelfth annual mormon pacific historical society conference at the new hauulagauula chapel on may 25 1991 will ever forget the experience not only were the presentations interesting and inspiring but the continuing renewed and new friendships always a part of MPHS meetings were important at this conference as well for sheer drama we hope we do not ever have a conference at which one of our membersonemembers one who helped throughout his life to create mormon history in the pacific thomas au very literally breathes his last earthly breath fortunately uncle five cents was doing one of the things he loved most to do performing on his beloved steel when he passed away we are gratified to have been told by his family that having just borne his testimony to us and then playing for us the music he loved so much created a situation that made this an optimum time for his passing those present will remember that brother au received a priesthood blessing there while on the stand we commemorate him his life of service and at the same time compliment you the sharers makers and consumers of mormon history in the pacific for your continuing interest and support of MPHS and its

by kenneth W baldridge for many years the department of land and natural resources state of hawaii has been in the process of developing kahana valley as a living state park among the various projects in different stages of progress are reconstruction of the huiluahuilda fishpond establishmentreestablishmentre of traditional hawaiian agricultureespeciallyagriculture especially taro if practicaldevelopmentpractical development of hiking trails and location of camping areas one project that has been given very high priority by both the state parks personnel and valley residents has been the restoration of the mormon chapel with which I1 have been very closely involved over the past few years I1 have met with valley residents and on several occasions have taken BYU hawaii students and ward youth groups to the chapel for the purpose of cleaning up around the building in preparation for restoration work I1 have met with suzette soucie and A J garza of the prizewinningprize winning architectural firm designaredesignoreDesign are and they have now submitted a proposal to the state which hopefully will lead to the project of restoration getting underway the exact age of the building has yet to be determined an LDS chapel was dedicated in kahana in 1888 and we feel quite sure that this building goes back to the early 1900s at least but we cannot definitely say that this building is the one that was dedicated over a century ago research continues since there seems little doubt that this is the oldest LDS structure still standing in hawaii we as the mormon pacific historical society are keenly interested in its preservation As a church supposedly interested in history our track record here in hawaii has been less than outstanding as we have seen our historic buildings disappear one after another lets hope this time that we with the cooperation of the state of hawaii and the residents of kahana valley can save a most interesting structure the making of TONGAN SAINTS LEGACY OF FAITH by eric B shumwayshunnShurnway tongan saints legacy of faith is a work that was commissioned by the tongan centennial committee in november of 1988 when I1 was still mission president of the tonga nukualofa mission it was to be a labor of love that would include extensive gathering of oral history especially from the tongans themselves the project would eventually involve dozens of helpers missionaries former missionaries and local tongansTon gans the plan almost from the beginning thanks to some sound advice from interested friends and scholars members and non members was to feature the tongans themselves to illustrate a hundred years of their faith and faithfulness most of the history of the church in the south pacific has been written by caucasians pipilangispalangispapalangaslangis about caucasians with information derived from records and journals kept by caucasians or from interviews with caucasian leaders former caucasian leaders or caucasian missionaries to those areas tongan saints legacy of faith offers center stage to the tongan people it is not a history parpqrelsjese it does not follow a chronology of dates and events rather it is a compilation of personal experiences and testimonies of ordinary men and women who have been a living part of the churchs history in the friendly islands in their own voices they tell of courage and conversion endurance priesthood power visions sacrifice obedience testimony revelation and the love of god and man these are personal statements that give substance and meaning to the dates and events marking the growth of the church in each generation together they capture the essence of faith among some of the churchs most faithful and lovable people in the world As editor and chief translator for the project my task has been to review these histories and translate into english those portions which seemed appropriate for the inclusion in this commemorative volume I1 have endeavored to be faithful to the original accounts if not in precise word for word renditions then always in the spirit of the intended meaning when I1 was first asked in november of 1988 by the tongan centennial committee to write a commemorative history for the churchs 2 looth anniversary the members of the committee had no idea what they were asking they were simply dividing up the responsibilities around the room well ask shumwayshunnShurnway to do the history said tevita kaili chairman of the committee I1 was the only one in the circle who knew something of what was ahead of me but when the decision was made to gather oral histories and compile spiritual highlights of the tongans themselves I1 felt a great burst of enthusiasm for the project my first task was to explain to the tongan saints the nature of the project persuade the tongan church leadership to support it not just with words of encouragement but with their own accounts I1 personally contacted each stake president and went over with him the entire project from initial gathering of information to the final published book once the stake presidents were persuaded and accepted the responsibility of telling wonderful stories of their own it was a simple matter of setting up stake fi resides inviting allail of the saints in each stake to attend for the purpose of learning how to write personal history or in their case to dictate it onto an audiotape I1 conducted each fireside making the opening presentation in which I1 described the project and explained some of the nitty gritty about dictating histories which would alert them to the value of such a task despite all of the attendant problems they would encounter of course for a tongan who is already programmed by his culture to be immensely verbal and a master at story telling there is a clear need to conscientiously discriminate between mobni truth and maliemaile splendid exciting interesting A good story excellently told is one of the treasures of the tongan society and the ability to embellish a story is one of the cultivated arts of a highly articulate oral culture ones position in society and reputation among friends and family are linked to ones powers of language there is a saying common among tongan raconteurs neongo ene loi kae kehe ke maliem5lie never mind if its a lie just so its splendidly told frankly I1 had a lot of fun describing and demonstrating the difference between truth and splendid story telling but at the same time showing how both could enhance each other I1

  • 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.

  • Steel Guitar Player Gerald Ross Brings Hawaiian Sound to Mainland Posted by Mark Wedel | Special to the Gazette March 27, 2008 09:22AM
    Steel guitar player Gerald Ross brings Hawaiian sound to mainland Posted by Mark Wedel | Special to the Gazette March 27, 2008 09:22AM KALAMAZOO -- From the lilting music of Hawaii to the wail of country and western, from the tropical islands to Kalamazoo, the Hawaiian steel guitar made its mark during the 20th century. But the history of the instrument, which is sometimes known as the lap steel because it's played on the lap with one hand plucking the strings while the other runs a steel bar along the fretboard, dates back much further than that. The story starts with a boy named Joseph Kekuku in the 1880s. "Rumor has it, when he was a schoolboy in Hawaii, he dropped his comb on his guitar which lay across his lap," said Ann Arbor musician Gerald Ross, who will play the instrument Saturday at the Fretboard Ann Arbor's Gerald Ross holds a Festival. 1936 Rickenbacker Bakelite lap steel guitar.
