[Adv 17/1/2002] Clarence Tenki Taba, a longtime banker and World War II veteran, died last Thursday July 19, 2001 in Honolulu. He was 79. Taba was born April 7, 1922, in Lahaina, Maui, as the fifth of 13 children. During the war, he was awarded two Bronze Stars and a Silver Star for courage in combat, and a Purple Heart with two Oak Leaf Clusters for injuries in three battles. He was a first sergeant in the Army. He worked with banks until retiring in 1997, first as a senior bank examiner for the Territory of Hawai'i and later in management positions with private banks such as City Bank and Bank of Hawai'i. He then served the Hawai'i Bankers Association for 22 years, helping to write bank legislation. His work with banks helped him establish a savings and loan program for the 442nd Veterans Club, where he was treasurer, vice president and president. Taba was also a founding member of the Hawai'i Department of Disabled American Veterans and treasurer at Manoa Valley Church for 27 years until he was forced to retire because of heart problems. "He didn't feel like, 'I'm doing all this volunteer work for free,' it was something he was proud of," said his wife, Nancy Nobuko Taba. His wife remembers him as someone always full of energy and who enjoyed to travel.

  • 7 Mahana Series Soils Are Described As Follows: This Series Consists of Well-Drained Soils on Uplands on the Islands of Kauai An
    Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HONOULIULI 172 Introduction Mahana series soils are described as follows: This series consists of well-drained soils on uplands on the islands of Kauai and Oahu. These soils developed in volcanic ash. They are gently sloping to very steep. Elevations range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet. The annual rainfall amounts to 30 to 45 inches. […] These soils are used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, irrigated sugarcane, and water supply. The natural vegetation consists of puakeawe, aalii, ricegrass, molassesgrass, silver oak, yellow foxtail, lantana, joee, Japanese tea, passion flower, and associated plants. [Foote et al. 1972:85] Mahana silty clay loam, 6 to 12% slopes, eroded (McC2) soils are described as follows: This soil occurs on ridgetops and moderately sloping uplands […] Permeability is moderately rapid. Runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. […] In places roots penetrate to a depth of 5 feet or more. […] This soil is used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, pineapple, and sugarcane. [Foote et al. 1972:85–86] Mahana silty clay loam, 12 to 20% slopes, eroded (McD2) soils, are described as having medium runoff and a moderate erosion hazard, used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, and sugarcane (Foote et al. 1972). Mahana silty clay loam, 20 to 35% slopes, eroded (McE2) soils are further described as follows: Most of the surface layer has been removed by erosion. Runoff is very rapid, and the erosion hazard is very severe. Included in mapping were areas where all of the surface layer and part of the subsoil have been removed by erosion.

  • 1 the Austronesian World
    1 The Austronesian world 1.0 Introduction Many aspects of language, especially in historical linguistics, require reference to the physical environment in which speakers live, or the culture in which their use of language is embedded. This chapter sketches out some of the physical and cultural background of the Austronesian language family before proceeding to a discussion of the languages themselves. The major topics covered include 1. location, 2. physical environment, 3. flora and fauna, 4. physical anthropology, 5. social and cultural background, 6. external contacts, and 7. prehistory. 1.1 Location As its name (‘southern islands’) implies, the AN language family has a predominantly insular distribution in the southern hemisphere. Many of the more westerly islands, however, lie partly or wholly north of the equator. The major western island groups include the great Indonesian, or Malay Archipelago, to its north the smaller and more compact Philippine Archipelago, and still further north at 22 to 25 degrees north latitude and some 150 kilometres from the coast of China, the island of Taiwan (Formosa). Together these island groups constitute insular (or island) Southeast Asia. Traditionally, the major eastern divisions, each of which includes several distinct island groups, are Melanesia (coastal New Guinea and adjacent islands, the Admiralty Islands, New Ireland, New Britain, the Solomons, Santa Cruz, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands), Micronesia (the Marianas, Palau, the Caroline Islands, the Marshalls, Nauru and Kiribati), and Polynesia (Tonga, Niue, Wallis and Futuna, Samoa, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Pukapuka, the Cook Islands, the Society Islands, the Marquesas, Hawai’i, Rapanui or Easter Island, New Zealand, and others).

  • Volcano House Register Volume 2
    Haw VolcanoesNa al Park National Service Park The Volcano House Register, Volume 2 1873-1885 In this volume, on almost every page, there are entries in which a writer merely gives his name, date, times of arrival and departure, and destination. In the other volumes, whenever this occurs, I mention that I omitted such an entry, and give the page number. But because there are so many such entries in this particular volume, it would become tedious both for the transcriber to record and the reader to read every case of such omission; so I am doing it once only, here at the beginning of the document. On the page facing page 1, there is a rough table of contents, listing the page numbers of various maps and signatures of Kalakaua, Louis Pasteur, etc. In addition, there is a poem: Index Some good Some mediocre And much rotten For the Lord's sake Don't write unless You have somethingHawai'i Volcanoes Park To say & can say it.

P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

  • The Pigs Ofisland Southeast Asia and the Pacific: New Evidencefor
    The Pigs ofIsland Southeast Asia and the Pacific: New Evidence for Taxonomic Status and Human-Mediated Dispersal KEITH DOBNEY, THOMAS CUCCHI, AND GREGER LARSON THE PROCESSES through which the economic and cultural elements regarded as "Neolithic" spread throughout Eurasia remain among the least understood and most hotly debated topics in archaeology. Domesticated animals and plants are in­ tegral components of the chrono-cultural and paleoenvironmental data set linked to the earliest farming communities, and their remains are key to understanding the origins and spread of agriculture. Although the majority of research into ani­ mal domestication and Neolithic dispersal has focused upon western Eurasia, the Near East, and Europe, where both traditional and new techniques have signifi­ cantly advanced our ideas regarding the origins and spread of Neolithic farming westward, less emphasis has been placed upon its eastward spread from mainland East Asia to Island Southeast Asia (ISEA). The close relationship between people and pigs has been a long and varied one for millennia. Pigs have been of great economic and symbolic importance to the tribal societies of ISEA (Banks 1931; Hose and McDougall 1901; Medway 1973; Rosman and Rubel 1989) and, for that reason, wild pigs and their feral and domestic derivatives have been widely introduced as game and/or livestock throughout the region (Groves 1995; Oliver and Brisbin 1993). As a result of this human agency, a diversity of introduced domestic, feral, and possible wild suid forms has arisen. Continuing debate over the present day taxonomy of these island suids, and even bigger problems with the specific identification of their fossil remains, leave us very little idea as to which species are actually represented in the archaeological record, let alone their past wild, feral, or domestic status.

  • The Boats of the Tawi-Tawi Bajau, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines
    The Boats of the Tawi-Tawi Bajau, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines Received 20 February 1990 H. ARLO NIMMO ISLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA has perhaps the greatest variety of watercraft of any culture area in the world. Through centuries of adaptation to tropical riverine and maritime environments, the people of this island world have created hundreds-indeed, prob­ ably thousands-of different kinds of boats. The primitive rafts that first transported the early inhabitants to offshore islands evolved into the sophisticated sailing vessels that allowed this population to become the most far-flung on earth before the expan­ sion of European cultures. By the time Europeans began to venture beyond their shores, Austronesian speakers had spread throughout all of Island Southeast Asia, west to Madagascar, north to Taiwan, and east to Micronesia, parts of Melanesia, and the outposts of Polynesia. Perusal of a map of Island Southeast Asia explains the proliferation of watercraft in this area. Thousands of islands make up the modern nations of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, and one can sail within sight of land throughout the entire area before reaching its outer limits. The lure of these islands to the always curious human mind as well as the abundant food resources in their surrounding waters were doubtless prime motivators for the first boat-builders-as indeed they continue to motivate contemporary boat-builders. Virtually all islands large enough to accommodate human populations are inhabited, and some have been so for mil­ lennia. The separation of human populations by expanses of water, as well as the diverse currents of history that have moved through the area, has resulted in a rich mosaic of distinctive cultures.

A dissertation is already an immense challenge; you did not make it any more difficult. On the contrary, you made the dissertation fun to write and revise (in the sense that such a process can be) and of high quality. I would also like to thank the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature for funding this research with the 2019 Doctoral Dissertation Research Award. It is not only the financial award but the knowledge that others find my study important that I find encouraging. I am grateful for the invitation to present a keynote lecture at the 2019 College of LLL Conference to share my research with the public. I am most thankful to the principal, teachers, and students at the school where I did my study, who for reasons of confidentiality cannot be named here. I am amazed at the teachers’ curricular and extracurricular dedication, the creative and critical projects they shared at conferences. I also thank my Ilokano translator, Mario Doropan, who made this study possible.
