Recktenwald CHIEF JUSTICE To Honorable Members of the Thirty-First Legislature: I am pleased to submit the FY 2020 Annual Report of the King Kamehameha VJudiciary History Center (the Center) as required under chapter 6F of the Hawai'i Revised Statutes. Since 1989, the Center has been steadfast in educating the public about Hawai'i's unique legal history and the judicial branch of government in general. From its home at Ali'iolani Hale, the Center uses exhibits, archives, public programs, teacher workshops, school tours, mock trials, films, and publications to offer extensive learning opportunities for Hawai'i residents and visitors. This year, 87,400 people visited the Center or took advantage of its educational programs, including 7,900 students from schools and colleges throughout the state, the mainland U.S. and abroad. Through our Courts in the Community program, the Supreme Court holds at least two oral arguments at educational institutions per year. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the court was able to convene at just one school in the Fall at Waipahu High School. Nearly 500 students from five schools had the opportunity to witness, firsthand, the Judiciary's role in resolving disputes in our democratic society. Prior to attending the hearings, students learned about the pending cases through acurriculum developed by the Center and the William S. Richardson School of Law. The Center continued its strong commitment to public programming and in August, Sumner La Croix, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Economics at the University of Hawai'i at Manca, gave a presentation based on his book Hawai'i: 800 Years ofPolitical and Economic Change.Other in-person events included a celebration of Civil Liberites & the Constitution Day that featured a presentation of the National Park Service's video, Minidoka: An American Concentration Camp, a presentation by author Dr Tiffany Lani and Dr. Tonald Williams Jr. on Dr. Lani's book Reclaiming Ka/akaua: Nineteenth Century Perspectives on aHawaiian Sovereign, and a presentation by ABC News journalist Terry Moran. Due to the pandemic, the Center pivoted to virtual public programs in April, May, and June with presentations on Wilhelmina Dowsett, the coronavirus and Hawai'i's Economy, the shaping of Okinawan identity and community during World War 11 , and consitutional law and states of emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in March, the Center began virtual papa 'olelo Hawai'i (Hawaiian language classes) for judiciary staff statewide. The classes are held twice aweek via Zoom and allow judiciary employees to learn to read and speak 'olelo Hawai'i while incorporating judiciary vocabulary and Hawaiian culture. Mahalo for your support of the Center and its important work. We appreciate your commitment to this valuable educational institution. We also would like to encourage you, your constituents, and your district schools to visit the Center virtually to learn more about our fascinating heritage and judicial branch of government.

Established by statute in 1990 to educate the public about Hawai'i's legal history and the judicial process, the Center provides civic educational activities and materials including tours of Ali'iolani Hale and the First Circuit Court, public performances and lectures, teacher workshops, curricula, publications, and films. The year began with good news. Through the Center's participation in the nationally­ funded Project Citizen Research Project, several Hawai'i teachers will receive free training designed to engage students in local public policy solutions. The Supreme Court convened at Waipahu High School and oral argument was observed by 470 students from five high schools through the Judiciary's Courts in the Community Program. We conducted evening programs on topics including Hawai'i's political and economic history, the Minidoka concentration camp, King Kalakaua's diplomacy told through Hawaiian language primary sources, ABC News reporter Terry Moran's reflections on the 1st amendment, and a reenactment of the Korematsu trial. As it did with the rest ofthe world, COVID-19 caught us off guard. We suspended in­ person tours and public programming. I'm happy to report however, that our "tech-astute" staff quickly pivoted to virtual operations. From March to the end of the fiscal year, the Center debuted several online exhibitions and conducted five webinars, which have received more than 4,500 views via YouTube and Facebook. We now provide remote school tours. As the state moves forward with its reopening strategy, we look forward to safely accommodating in-person tours. Most importantly, we have taken a critical look at our exhibitions and recently embarked on the first segment of a major renovation project. Mahalo for your continued support of the Center and belief in our important mission. Your backing strengthens our resolve to improve our democracy.

  • King Kamehameha I C
    Name _____________________________ Class _________________ Date __________________ Entering the World Stage Biography King Kamehameha I c. 1758–1819 WHY HE MADE HISTORY King Kamehameha I unified the Hawaiian islands and resisted colonization by westerners. As you read the biography below, think about the ways in which a king can provide unity to a people. How is Hawaii different today from the time when it was ruled by a king and queen? By the late 1800s many Americans felt it was time for Bettmann/CORBIS © the United States to claim territories abroad. They turned their attention toward Hawaii. Situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii was a desirable location for many western countries. Not only was it an ideal spot for naval bases, it offered numerous opportunities for trade. However, Hawaii’s king, Kamehameha I, wanted to ensure that the islands remained independent. King Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha the Great, was born between 1748 and 1761 in Kohala, Hawaii. Legend has it that a comet had been seen in the sky, and Hawaii’s kahunas (priests) believed the comet was a sign that the mightiest ruler in the history of Hawaii was going to be born. The reigning king, Alapai, believed the prophecy referred to his nephew’s coming birth. Viewing the baby as a threat, Alapai ordered the baby to be killed at birth. Instead, when the baby was born, his mother named him Kamehameha, the Lonely One, and sent him to live with another family. Five years later, Alapai had a change of heart and allowed Kamehameha to come home.

  • 06-11-1872 Kamehameha Day.Indd
    This Day in History… June 11, 1872 Kamehameha Day On June 11, 1872, Hawaii celebrated its first Kamehameha Day, in honor of the king who united the Kingdom of Hawaii. On December 22, 1871, Kamehameha V proclaimed June 11 to be Kamehameha Day in honor of his grandfather. In addition to honoring his grandfather, the holiday was meant as a replacement for Hawaiian Sovereignty Restoration Day, which was unpopular among the king and his ministers. The first Kamehameha Day was held on June 11, 1872. The celebrations that year and in years to come included carnivals, fairs, foot races, horse races, and bicycle races. One of the most important rituals of the celebration was first instituted in 1901 – the draping ceremony. In this ceremony, long strands of lei were draped on prominent statues of Kamehameha in Hawaii as well as at the US Capitol. When Hawaii became a US state in 1959, Kamehameha Day was one of the first holidays the governor and state legislature proclaimed. Kamehameha Day is still celebrated today. The day includes many traditional Hawaiian events, paying respect to the cultural traditions Kamehameha fought to preserve. Among the A 1937 stamp picturing the Kamehameha statue events is the King Kamehameha Hula Competition, which draws hula groups from around the in Honolulu. world. Floral parades are also held throughout Hawaii. They include marching bands and beautifully designed floats covered in native plants and flowers. After the parade, the celebrations continue with a block party including arts and crafts, games, sports, and other events. King Kamehameha According to legend a great leader would be born who would reign over all the islands upon the sighting of a bright star.

  • The Kamehameha Statue
    The Kamehameha Statue Jacob Adler In the Hawaiian legislature of 1878, Walter Murray Gibson, then a freshman member for Lahaina, Maui, proposed a monument to the centennial of Hawaii's "discovery" by Captain James Cook. Gibson said in part: Kamehameha the Great "was among the first to greet the discoverer Cook on board his ship in 1778 . and this Hawaiian chief's great mind, though [he was] a mere youth then, well appreciated the mighty changes that must follow after the arrival of the white strangers." After reviewing the hundred years since Cook, Gibson went on: And is not this history at which we have glanced worthy of some commemoration? All nations keep their epochs and their eras. ... By commemorating notable periods, nations renew as they review their national life. Some would appreciate a utilitarian monument, such as a prominent light- house; others, a building for instruction or a museum; and I highly appreciate the utilitarian view, yet I am inclined to favor a work of art. And what is the most notable event, and character, apart from discovery, in this century, for Hawaiians to com- memorate? What else but the consolidation of the archipelago by the hero Kamehameha? The warrior chief of Kohala towers far above any other one of his race in all Oceanica. Therefore . lift up your hero before the eyes of the people, not only in story, but in everlasting bronze.1 The legislature appropriated $10,000, and appointed a committee to choose the monument and carry out the work: Walter M.

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.

Conklin, Ph.D. Executive Director e-mail [email protected] Unity, Equality, Aloha for all To: HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION For hearing Thursday, March 18, 2021 Re: HCR179, HR148 URGING THE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION TO REQUEST THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL BACK TO THE SCHOOL'S PREVIOUS NAME OF HONOLULU HIGH SCHOOL AND TO REMOVE THE STATUE OF PRESIDENT MCKINLEY FROM THE SCHOOL PREMISES TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION There is only one reason why some activists want to abolish "McKinley" from the name of the school and remove his statue from the campus. The reason is, they want to rip the 50th star off the American flag and return Hawaii to its former status as an independent nation. And through this resolution they want to enlist you legislators as collaborators in their treasonous propaganda campaign. The strongest evidence that this is their motive is easy to see in the "whereas" clauses of this resolution and in documents provided by the NEA and the HSTA which are filled with historical falsehoods trashing the alleged U.S. "invasion" and "occupation" of Hawaii; alleged HCR179, HR148 Page !1 of !10 Conklin HSE EDN 031821 suppression of Hawaiian language and culture; and civics curriculum in the early Territorial period. Portraying Native Hawaiians as victims of colonial oppression and/or belligerent military occupation is designed to bolster demands to "give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians", thereby producing a race-supremacist government and turning the other 80% of Hawaii's people into second-class citizens.
