The constant guid- ing factor remained on our mission: “to perpetuate the memory and spirit of old Hawaiʻi and of historic facts, and to preserve the nomenclature and correct pronunciation of the Hawaiian language.” In doing so, our organization was blessed with a $400,000 grant in aid (to be received from the State) and over $250,000 in donations -- the majority were bequests from Regina Kawānanakoa and Ethel O'Neil. With every passing year, we recognize our departed members, until we meet again, Aloha ‘Oe: Daughters Dorothea Hyde, Ethel O'Neil, Geraldine Shah, Heather Ho, Juliet Kesner, Leinani Keppeler Bortles, Mokihana Aluli Teves, Pamela Burns, Patricia Nottingham, Patricia Kennedy, & Tricia-Lani Au Calabash Cousins Ernest Heard, Irene Lee, LeBurta Atherton, Margo Morgan, Marty Sczesny, & Truman Odman Annual Newsletter 2018• page 2 Regent’s Update The year began under the leadership of Regent Kanani Kahana-Reid. For over 1 1/2 years, Kanani proved steadfast in her passion and commitment to our mission of historic and cultural preservation. She refocused energies to address education which is one of our stated purposes. Through her vision and tireless efforts, she led and implemented successful programs for our kūpuna (elders) with Kūpuna Day, for our keiki (children) with Ka Haku O Hawaiʻi Keiki Day (celebrating Prince Albert’s birthday) and Papa Kau- wela (Summer Program), and for members of all ages with ʻImi Naʻauao (Search for Wis- dom) Series. Since opening Hānaiakamalama - Queen Emma Summer Palace in January 1917 and Hulihe‘e Palace at Kailua-Kona in June 1928, the Daughters have held exhibits designed to increase public awareness of the culture and history of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Under Kanani’s tenure, lauha- la (leaves of the pandanus tree) weaving in its many forms was featured at Hānaiakamalama while Hulihe‘e Palace featured the detailed maps of Henry E.P. Kekahuna, a gifted and prolific surveyor and researcher who worked for the Bishop Museum in the 1950’s. These exhib- its and our many programs kept our volunteer docents and staff busy throughout the year as we had over 30,000 visitors, a slight increase over last year’s total. With Kanani’s res- ignation on July 7th, Bonnie Rice assumed the role as our Regent. Working closely with Kanoe Renaud, our Operations Manager’s since her arrival in March 2017, this dynamic duo has worked tirelessly to streamline operations, to ensure we are compliant with Fed- eral and State laws, labor disputes and employment laws, to adopt business best practic- es, to update written policies and procedures, to overhaul our operational infrastructure (internet connectivity, security systems, and insurance coverages), and finally, to institute and formalize training not only for our employees but our board of directors as well. In Ju- ly, staff and board members completed Harassment, Discrimination, and Workplace Violence Pre- vention Training. In August, select staff and board members attended (1) a free seminar hosted by Historic Hawai'i Foundation & National Park Service which provided training on tools and techniques available to save historic places and (2) the Hawai‘i’s Community Foundation’s Advancing Nonprofit Excellence Conference. Then, Daughters of Hawai‘i was featured on ʻŌlelo with Lyla Berg. In Octo- ber, we began work to transition health insurance benefits to ProService as their rates are compara- ble and they are providing our Human Resources services and support. In November, we approved an updated Employee Handbook and a balanced budget, and in December, we designed a compre- hensive calendar of all events impacting the Daughters of Hawai‘i, Hulihe‘e Palace, and Queen Em- ma Summer Palace. In January, we began preparation for our taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, with our auditor C.W. Associates and Shintaro Kanazawa, AATS LLC, who provides our accounting services. We also just submitted a 2018-2019 Grant in Aid application thanks to the de- termined efforts of Lauren Avery. At the close of 2017, the Daughters of Hawai‘i had a net income of $72,739.28; a full financial report will be disclosed at the Annual Meeting on February 21st, 2018. Currently, our organization has 904 active members: 729 Daughters (433 Lifetime Members) and 175 Calabash Cousins (61 Lifetime Members), and we welcome 31 Daughters and 38 Calabash Cousins.

  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.

  • Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu
    Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu Wai-Jane Char Early in the nineteenth century, there were three Chinese stores in Honolulu, listed in The Friend on August 11, 1844 as "Samping [Samsing] & Co., Ahung & Co. [Hungtai], and Tyhune." The stores are long gone and forgotten, but they were significant among the commercial establishments of that time. The first store mentioned, Samsing Co., had a modest beginning in the 1830s, next to a bakery on Fort Street, in the middle of the block near the west entrance of today's Financial Plaza. Later Samsing Co. had a location on King Street facing south in the middle of the block between Bethel and Nuuanu Streets. Yat Loy Co. carried on a dry goods business there for most of the twentieth century.1 The second store mentioned was Hungtai Co., begun even earlier at the northeast corner of Fort and Merchant Streets, where today stands the multi-storied Financial Plaza. In 1838, the store moved to a building called the "Pagoda" on Merchant Street, facing the harbor, between Fort Street and Bethel, then not yet opened as a street.2 The third store, Tyhune, also started before the mid-3os, was at the south- west corner of Hotel and Nuuanu Streets. It was marked merely as "Chinese store" on a map drawn by Alexander Simpson in 1843, during contentions over the land claims of Richard Charlton.3 During the period the Chinese stores were in business, Honolulu changed from a small village into a flourishing town with lumber yards, wharfs, streets, schools, and churches.

  • A Day in the Life
    A Day in the Life “June 29th. A busy day. - - - -” In part, the sole entry for that day in Sybil Bingham’s journal (1820) helps to describe what life was like for the families of the early missionaries in Hawaiʻi. The Prudential Committee of the ABCFM in giving instructions to the pioneers of 1819 said: “Your mission is a mission of mercy, and your work is to be wholly a labor of love. … Your views are not to be limited to a low, narrow scale, but you are to open your hearts wide, and set your marks high. You are to aim at nothing short of covering these islands with fruitful fields, and pleasant dwellings and schools and churches, and of Christian civilization.” (The Friend) Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820-1863 - the “Missionary Period”,) about 184-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the ABCFM in the Hawaiian Islands. One of the first things the missionaries did was to learn the Hawaiian language and create an alphabet for a written format of the language. Their emphasis was on teaching and preaching. The missionaries were scattered across the Islands, each home was usually in a thickly inhabited village, so that the missionary and his wife could be close to their work among the people. In the early years, they lived in the traditional thatched houses – “our little cottage built chiefly of poles, dried grass and mats, being so peculiarly exposed to fire … consisting only of one room with a little partition and one door.” (Sybil Bingham) The thatched cottages were raised upon a low stone platform.

  • Princess Ka'iulani
    MARILYN STASSEN-MCLAUGHLIN Unlucky Star: Princess Ka'iulani PRINCESS KA'IULANI has long been an enigma. The familiar stories of her short life offer little to go on. Published picture books describe the happy child or dutiful teenager or attractive woman, and the oft- told tales become a bit more romanticized with each retelling. It is dif- ficult to see a real Princess Ka'iulani moving through her adolescence in Europe: first, aware of herself as a princess, focused on her educa- tion, trying to please others; then her struggle through sadness and disillusionment; and finally the reluctant and sometimes bitter accep- tance of her fate—a princess with no kingdom to rule. When we peel away the myth, we see Ka'iulani as a young woman forced to face dramatic changes in her short life because of repeated disappointments and thwarted expectations. Through her letters and the observations of others, Ka'iulani becomes a multifaceted woman —a flesh-and-blood person, not a wispy, gauze-like replication. Princess Victoria Kawekiu Ka'iulani Lunalilo Kalaninuiahilapalapa Cleghorn, only direct heir by birth to the Hawaiian throne, was born October 16, 1875, to the resounding peal of bells from every church in Honolulu.1 Daughter of Princess Likelike and businessman Archi- bald Scott Cleghorn, she was reared to be royalty. Her mother died when Ka'iulani was only eleven, and the future princess was doted upon by her father, her Uncle David Kalakaua, and numerous rela- tives. She grew up surrounded with the certainty that she could some Marilyn Stassen-McLaughlin is a retired Punahou teacher, tutor, and freelance writer who has had a continuing interest in Princess Ka'iulani and the 'Ainahau Estate for more than twenty years.

  • Mission Stations
    Mission Stations The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), based in Boston, was founded in 1810, the first organized missionary society in the US. One hundred years later, the Board was responsible for 102-mission stations and a missionary staff of 600 in India, Ceylon, West Central Africa (Angola), South Africa and Rhodesia, Turkey, China, Japan, Micronesia, Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, North American native American tribes, and the "Papal lands" of Mexico, Spain and Austria. On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of ABCFM missionaries set sail on the Thaddeus to establish the Sandwich Islands Mission (now known as Hawai‘i). Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820- 1863 - the “Missionary Period”), about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the ABCFM in the Hawaiian Islands. One of the earliest efforts of the missionaries, who arrived in 1820, was the identification and selection of important communities (generally near ports and aliʻi residences) as “Stations” for the regional church and school centers across the Hawaiian Islands. As an example, in June 1823, William Ellis joined American Missionaries Asa Thurston, Artemas Bishop and Joseph Goodrich on a tour of the island of Hawaiʻi to investigate suitable sites for mission stations. On O‘ahu, locations at Honolulu (Kawaiahaʻo), Kāne’ohe, Waialua, Waiʻanae and ‘Ewa served as the bases for outreach work on the island. By 1850, eighteen mission stations had been established; six on Hawaiʻi, four on Maui, four on Oʻahu, three on Kauai and one on Molokai. Meeting houses were constructed at the stations, as well as throughout the district.

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.

Kingdom ofHawai'i was never at war with the United States. The U.S. invaded the Neutral Kingdom ofHawai'i on January 17, 1893, under the U.S.S. Boston, committing an Act of War against the World recognized Neutral Kingdom ofHawai'i. This is still Piracy & Treason under the 9th Article of Confederation of 1777 and Article 1 section 8 of the 1791 U.S. Constitution, a 123 year old WAR CRIME. The United States has not been SANCTIONED or CHARGED. Take Judicial Notice: A Joint Resolution is a United States Domestic Law, confined only to the boundaries within the United States, not outside the United States like the Islands ofHawai'i. This is a Congressional Fact. The Only Fact that cannot be disputed is that the Hawaiian Islands is not part of the United States under the April30, 1900 Organic Act Section Two of all the LAWS for the TERRITORY OF HAWAll.

  • Notes & Queries
    Notes & Queries The Journal welcomes responses to previously published articles, statements on Hawaiian and Pacific history, and queries for information that will assist research. Opinions expressed here and elsewhere in the pages of the Journal are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Editorial Board or the Hawaiian Historical Society. THE HALE NAUA SOCIETY In late 1998, the Hawaiian Historical Society and the Hawai'i Com- mittee for the Humanities undertook sponsorship of the translation of the records of the Hale Naua Society, a cultural organization founded by King Kalakaua.1 The planned focus of the translation was the material within manuscript collection M-469 at the Hawai'i State Archives, including minutes of meetings and the original constitu- tion and by-laws of the society. Manuscript Group 469 also contains speeches, membership records, reference data, notes, and records in English as well as in Hawaiian. Because the 1886 Hawaiian manu- script of the constitution and by-laws differs from English-language versions (1886 and 1890), a new translation was deemed worthwhile. In the midst of background research, an important and uncatalogued manuscript was located at the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society and added to the documents to be translated. The fifty-eight-page Buke Oihana, or ritual book, of the Hale Naua Society provides a fas- cinating glimpse of a syncretic blend of Hawaiian culture and West- ern fraternalism. The project will make the translation available to libraries, research institutions and other interested groups. These manuscripts form a vital body of primary source material relating to the first phases of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance undertaken by Kalakaua and Hawaiian nationalists.

  • A Portrait of EMMA KAʻILIKAPUOLONO METCALF
    HĀNAU MA KA LOLO, FOR THE BENEFIT OF HER RACE: a portrait of EMMA KAʻILIKAPUOLONO METCALF BECKLEY NAKUINA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HAWAIIAN STUDIES AUGUST 2012 By Jaime Uluwehi Hopkins Thesis Committee: Jonathan Kamakawiwoʻole Osorio, Chairperson Lilikalā Kameʻeleihiwa Wendell Kekailoa Perry DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Kanalu Young. When I was looking into getting a graduate degree, Kanalu was the graduate student advisor. He remembered me from my undergrad years, which at that point had been nine years earlier. He was open, inviting, and supportive of any idea I tossed at him. We had several more conversations after I joined the program, and every single one left me dizzy. I felt like I had just raced through two dozen different ideas streams in the span of ten minutes, and hoped that at some point I would recognize how many things I had just learned. I told him my thesis idea, and he went above and beyond to help. He also agreed to chair my committee. I was orignally going to write about Pana Oʻahu, the stories behind places on Oʻahu. Kanalu got the Pana Oʻahu (HWST 362) class put back on the schedule for the first time in a few years, and agreed to teach it with me as his assistant. The next summer, we started mapping out a whole new course stream of classes focusing on Pana Oʻahu. But that was his last summer.
