INTRODUCTION Located on the southeastern tip of Oahu, Hawaii, Hanauma Bay is a geological remnant of a volcanic eruption that took place more than 32,000 years ago.' Historically, the Bay was a sacred site in Hawaiian culture2 and had relatively few visitors. Today, with its myriad of colorful marine life and striking underwater views, Hanauma Bay is one of the most popular 3 sightseeing attractions in Hawaii. The beach area surrounding Hanauma Bay is part of the larger Koko Head Regional Park and is managed by the City and County of Honolulu.4 The Bay itself, however, is under the management jurisdiction of the state.' * Marine Protected Species Coordinator, Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources and University of Hawaii; M.S., Zoology, University of Hawaii (1989); J.D., University of Hawaii (1996).

  • Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
    TITLE:The Ambum Stone LOCATION: Papua New Guinea DATE: 1500 BCE ARTIST: PERIOD/STYLE: Prehistoric Oceanic Art PATRON: MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:Greywacke FORM: A composite human/animal figure, perhaps an anteater head and a human body. It has a pleasing shape and smooth surface, and the slightly shiny patina on some of its raised details suggest it has been well handled. It was made from greywacke stone, and its finished shape may suggest the original shape the stone it was carved from. Carved in the form of some kind of animal, its features are rounded and include a freestanding neck, elegantly curved head and long nose, and upper limbs that hug its torso and appear to enclose a cupped space above its belly. FUNCTION: The Ambum Stone is a decorative pestle. Sculpted stones uncovered in Papua New Guinea fall into three different categories: figurines, mortars, and pestles. These objects take the form of both land- and air-dwelling animals, anthropomorphic creatures, and human figures. The Ambum Stone is one of the earliest stone objects, hailing from way back in 3500 B.C.E., and would have been created as a pestle. It's likely that the Ambum Stone was used for fertility or burial rituals. The discovery of the Ambum Stone sheds light on the supernatural and religious beliefs of the ancient New Guinea peoples. The early stone sculptures have supernatural significance. These special mortars and pestles were used in religious rituals. New Guinea peoples believed the supernatural powers of these sculptures and the animals they depicted helped with fertility, hunting, and burial rites.

However, the utilization of medicinal plants in cultures that still practice ancient medicine, such as Hawai’i and other Pacific Island nations, involves the use of whole plant parts in conjunction with spiritual rituals to heal illnesses and ailments.

    The Color of Nationality: Continuities and Discontinuities of Citizenship in Hawaiʻi A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE DECEMBER 2014 By WILLY DANIEL KAIPO KAUAI Dissertation Committee: Neal Milner, Chairperson David Keanu Sai Deborah Halbert Charles Lawrence III Melody MacKenzie Puakea Nogelmeier Copyright ii iii Acknowledgements The year before I began my doctoral program there were less than fifty PhD holders in the world that were of aboriginal Hawaiian descent. At the time I didn’t realize the ramifications of such a grimacing statistic in part because I really didn’t understand what a PhD was. None of my family members held such a degree, and I didn’t know any PhD’s while I was growing up. The only doctors I knew were the ones that you go to when you were sick. I learned much later that the “Ph” in “PhD” referred to “philosophy,” which in Greek means “Love of Wisdom.” The Hawaiian equivalent of which, could be “aloha naʻauao.” While many of my family members were not PhD’s in the Greek sense, many of them were experts in the Hawaiian sense. I never had the opportunity to grow up next to a loko iʻa, or a lo’i, but I did grow up amidst paniolo, who knew as much about makai as they did mauka. Their deep knowledge and aloha for their wahi pana represented an unparalleled intellectual capacity for understanding the interdependency between land and life.
