Kūka‘ō‘ō stands as the last intact walled heiau in the greater ahupua‘a of Waikīkī. Believed to have been built by Menehune, the heiau is interpreted today as an agricultural temple. Surrounding the heiau are native Hawaiian gardens that feature an extraordinary collection of rare and endangered species, as well as plants introduced by Polynesian settlers. Our site also tells the story of Mānoa valley, once a rich agricultural area that Hawaiians farmed for centuries. Foreign contact brought many changes to the valley including immigrant resident farmers from various ethnic groups. Today Mānoa is known as one of the most desirable residential areas in Hawai‘i, but its strong sense of place endures. 3 Background Information for Teachers Mānoa Valley As part of the Ko‘olau range, the large amphitheater valley of Mānoa was carved out through wind, rain and erosion.

  • COOKE, Jr., a BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY
    Bio-bibliography of C. Montague Cooke, Jr. 31 Bibliography By WILLIAM J. CLENCH CURATOR OF MOLLUSKS, MUSEUM of COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY INTRODUCTION The following list of titles and scientific names of both plants and mollusks is complete, so far as can be traced, for the work done by Dr. Cooke. He left, however, several manuscripts in various stages of completion, which in time will be published. The type specimens of most of the species, subspecies, and varieties de- scribed by Dr. Cooke are in Bishop Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; but many type specimens were generously donated to other institutions by Dr. Cooke, for his was an exceedingly broad policy. Any type series in sufficient numbers was divided and such duplicates as could be spared sent on exchange or as outright gifts to other institutions. He believed that this policy not only aided other workers in their reference to authentic material but safeguarded type specimens by housing them in various parts of the world. With few exceptions, the new species described by Dr. Cooke, either alone or jointly with other authors, were based on material from Polynesia and Melanesia, wherein lay his main interest. His knowledge of these areas was profound, and his library contained most of the malacological papers dealing with Polynesia and Melanesia. His collection contained many specimens that had been compared with type material in other institutions. Both the library and the collection were years in the making, and all were available for use by his colleagues and correspondents. A LIST OF MOLLUSKS DESCRIBED BY C.

  • Manoa's "Puuhonua": the Castle Home, 1900-1941
    Manoa's "Puuhonua": The Castle Home, 1900-1941 Peggy Robb and Louise Vicars In our youth we lived in the sloping afternoon shadows of a great Manoa Valley house, which we were told was "the Castle," and we doted on it, imagining crenelations, embrasures, keeps, cellars that could be dun- geons; it was fabulous, and long brassy autos climbed to its fastnesses, perhaps carrying the lost kings and queens of a lost Hawaiian kingdom. We crept in the meadows among cows to spy on what seemed a complete manorial village dropped from the heavens. But "Castle" was really a family name, we came to know. The magic remained—and until central Manoa rilled with competing houses, "Puuhonua" was a glamorous mystery to many a child; it was always part of one's ezva (our western) skyline, transforming a hillside. The Castles of Hawaii were as prodigious as was their house. There is a common and perhaps slightly envious remark in Hawaii that the missionaries came to do good and did well. The Castles did a lot of both. They had a veritable headstart in participating in the financial develop- ment of the Hawaiian kingdom. Samuel Northrup Castle (1808-1894) had been a cashier in a Cleveland, Ohio, bank, then a bookkeeper "in a commercial establishment" when he volunteered for missionary service.1 He arrived as part of the "seventh reinforcement" missionary group in 1837, the seventeenth year of the Protestant Sandwich Isles Mission.2 He was not ordained as a minister. He was to be the "financial agent" for a suddenly expanding Christianity.

  • Twenty-Five Years of the Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey 1
    Published online: 9 July 2020 ISSN (online): 2376-3191 Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2019. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 129: 1 –2 (2020) Twenty-Five Years of the Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey 1 NEAL L. E VENHUIS Hawaii Biological Survey, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817-2704; email: [email protected] In 1992, the State of Hawaii designated the Hawaii Biological Survey (HBS) as a program of the Bishop Museum. The Survey is an ongoing natural history inventory of the Hawaiian Archipelago and was created to locate, identify, and evaluate all native and non- native species of flora and fauna within the state and maintain the reference collections of that flora and fauna for a wide range of uses. As the primary state repository for all spec - imens and objects, the Bishop Museum also maintains up-to-date databases of all groups of plants and animals that occur within the state boundaries. Additionally, as part of our effort in disseminating the latest information on updates to those databases, the Bishop Museum annually publishes the Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey . In 1995, we published the first of these Records (for the year 1994) in two volumes (Articles and Notes). Those first Records contained a total of 29 papers by 32 authors. Some 105 species of plants and animals were newly recorded for the State, including 3 new species-group taxa. The success of those first Records bade well for the ensuing years, in which numerous observations have been published by our many colleagues in Hawai‘i, the nation, and worldwide.

  • Manoa Heritage Center – Visitor Education Hale Honolulu, HI, USA
    Project Name: Manoa Heritage Center – Visitor Education Hale Location: Honolulu, HI, USA Project Narrative: The Visitor Education Hale is the final piece of the Manoa Heritage Center master plan. It will serve as a flexible classroom for the thousands of visitors who come to MHC to experience for the ancient Hawaiian temple, Kuka'o'o heiau and well as the endemic and indigenous collection of Hawaiian plans. It also provides for the MHC administration as well as public restrooms. Please refer to the slides for the complete story about the research, design and execution of the project including a strong emphasis on sustainable design & practices. Sustainability Narrative: Manoa Heritage Center is the caretaker to one of Hawaii's most priced Hawaiian artifacts, Kuka'o'o heiau (temple). Kuka'o'o is an agricultural heiau that is believed to have been constructed during 10th century. Strategically placed in the Waikiki ahupua'a (ancient Hawaiian land division from the mountains to the sea), Kuka'o'o heiau served as a temple for both worship and to study the cosmos related to the Hawaiian lunar calendar which determined the wet & dry seasons as well as the monthly planting & harvesting schedule. Today, Kuka'o'o heiau symbolizes the 600-800 years of sustainable living for ancient Hawaiians prior to western contact and is why sustainability was a major priority for this project. One of our major project goals was to create a Visitor Education Hale with a net zero carbon footprint and provide an educational curriculum for the school children & adult visitors who come to visit MHC.
