Ruiz, whose expertise, guidance, understanding, and patience added considerably to an invaluable doctoral experience. Her genius and vision empowered me to manifest into reality a highly personal story and account of a community that has long been silenced by a colonial past. It is under and through her mentorship that I found my voice. I would also like to thank my committee members, Professor Yong Chen and Professor Glen Mimura, for serving as intellectual resources at every step of the way and whose unwavering support from philosophical insights to exchanges of knowledge provided for an enriching experience. Gracias to my entire family for the support they provided me throughout my entire life, especially my mom, Eva for her love and encouragement. In particular, I must acknowledge my dad, Robert, for his assistance throughout my doctoral experience. My fondest aloha to all of the contributors in this study who opened up their homes, businesses, hearts, and archives granting permission to document “our” story including the different families in the Los Angles Hawaiian community, restaurateurs, the Hawaiian Inter-Club Council of Southern California, UCLA PISA, and the Polynesian Voyaging Society. vii CURRICULUM VITAE Lani Cupchoy 2015 Ph.D. in History, University of California at Irvine Emphasis on United States History and World History 2005 M.A. in History, California State University at Los Angeles Focus on Latin American Studies and United States History 2002 B.A. in History, University of California at Los Angeles Focus on Asian-American Studies and Chicana/o Studies PUBLICATIONS “The Heart of a Hawaiian: We Are Mauna Kea.” Honolulu Civil Beat, http://www.civilbeat.com/connections/the-heart-of-a-hawaiian-we-are-mauna-kea.

    History of Hula the Origins of Hula Are Contained in Many Legends. One Story Describes the Adventures of Hi'iaka, Who Danced To

    History of Hula The origins of hula are contained in many legends. One story describes the adventures of Hi'iaka, who danced to appease her fiery sister, the volcano goddess Pele and there she created Hula. This Hi'iaka story provides the basic foundation for many present-day dances. As late as the early twentieth century, ritual and prayer surrounded all aspects of hula training and practice. Teachers and students were dedicated to Laka, goddess of the hula, and appropriate offerings were made regularly. In ancient Hawaii, a time when a written language did not exist, hula and its chants played an important role in keeping history, genealogy, mythology and culture alive. With each movement – a hand gesture, step of foot, swaying of hips – a story would unfold. Through the hula, the Native Hawaiians were connected with their land and their gods. The hula was danced for protocol and social enjoyment. The songs and chants of the hula preserved Hawaii’s history and culture. When the missionaries arrived and brought Christianity, Queen Ka’ahumanu converted and deemed Hula a pagan ritual, banning it in 1830 and for many years with both Ōlelo Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian language, and Hula ​ ​ being suppressed or banned, the knowledge, tradition and culture of Hawai’i suffered greatly. It wasn’t until King David Kalakaua came to the throne in 1874 that Hawaiian cultural traditions were restored. Public performances of hula flourished and by the early 1900s, the hula had evolved and adapted to fit the desires of tourists and global expectations. With tourism, cabaret acts, Hollywood and the King himself, Elvis, Hula experienced a great transition to the Hula that many people imagine today.

    HMAS WELCOME ARMED SLOOP WELCOME CREW TRAINING MANUAL Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes 13268 S. West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

    ICTM Study Group on Musics of Oceania 17 April 1989 Circular No. 16 New Member We welcome Dr. Cynthia B. Sajnovsky to our Study Group. Please note her address on page 3 of this Circular and add it to the list of members distributed with Circular No. 15. ICTM Meeting in Schladming, Austria, 23-20 July 1989 So far, only Rossen has expressed the hope that members of our Study Group can get together during this World Conference. Of course, Christensen will attend in his capacity of Secretary General and Trimillos plans to attend in his capacity as member of the Executive Board. If other members do plan to participate/attend and would like to meet informally, I suggest you contact one of these three (I do not plan to attend). Other Forthcoming Events of Potential Interest to Members The 4th International Symposium of the Pacific Arts Association is to be held in Honolulu, 6-12 August 1989. (The sponsors are the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Bishop Museum, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, East-West Center, Hawaii Museums Association, Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program, Center for Pacific Islands Studies of the University of Hawaii, and Hawaii Loa College.) Reeves (now Helen Reeves Lawrence--congratulations, Helen!) and two other ICTM-SGMO members have expressed interest in an informal gathering with other members of our Study Group who may attend. The conference, titled "Artistic Heritage in a Changing Pacific," is clearly within our sphere of interests--especially the section on "Performing Arts." The other sections are "Role of the Museum in a Changing Pacific" (chaired by Kaeppler), "Visual Arts," and "The Future of Pacific Arts." The section on the performing arts is co-chaired by Moulin and Faustina Rehurer (Director of the Belau Museum).

    ISLES OF THE PACIFIC- I The Coming of the Polynesians By KENNETH P. EMORY, Ph.D. HE ISLES of the South Seas­ bathed in warm sunlight in the midst of the vast Pacific-were Tsurprise enough to their European discoverers. But more astonishingly, they were inhabited! And the tall, soft­ featured, lightly clad people who greet­ ed the Europeans possessed graces they could only admire, and skills at which they could but wonder. How had these brown-skinned peo­ ple reached the many far-flung islands of Polynesia? When? And whence had they come? The mystery lingered for centuries. Not until 1920-the year I joined the staff of the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu-was a concerted search for answers launched, with the First Pan-Pacific Scientific Conference, held in the Hawaiian capital. In subsequent years scientists fanned out over the Pacific to salvage whatever knowledge of their past the Polynesians retained. The field was vast, for Polynesia sprawls in a huge triangle, from Hawaii in the north to Easter Island in the southeast to New Zealand in the southwest. I have taken part in many of these expe­ Nomads of the wind, shipmates drop sail ditions from Mangareva to outlying Ka­ as they approach Satawal in the central pingamarangi, some 5,000 miles away Carolines.

  • Sailing Trans-Atlantic on the USCG Barque Eagle

    Sailing Trans-Atlantic on the USCG Barque Eagle

    PassageRite of Sailing Trans-Atlantic On The USCG Barque Eagle odern life is complicated. I needed a car, a bus, a train and a taxi to get to my square-rigger. When no cabs could be had, a young police officer offered me a lift. Musing on my last conveyance in such a vehicle, I thought, My, how a touch of gray can change your circumstances. It was May 6, and I had come to New London, Connecticut, to join the Coast Guard training barque Eagle to sail her to Dublin, Ireland. A snotty, wet Measterly met me at the pier, speaking more of March than May. The spires of New Lon- don and the I-95 bridge jutted from the murk, and a portion of a nuclear submarine was discernible across the Thames River at General Dynamics Electric Boat. It was a day for sitting beside a wood stove, not for going to sea, but here I was, and somehow it seemed altogether fitting for going aboard a sailing ship. The next morning was organized chaos. Cadets lugged sea bags aboard. Human chains passed stores across the gangway and down into the deepest recesses of the ship. Station bills were posted and duties disseminated. I met my shipmates in passing and in passageways. Boatswain Aaron Stapleton instructed me in the use of a climbing harness and then escorted me — and the mayor of New London — up the foremast. By completing this evolution, I was qualified in the future to work aloft. Once stowed for sea, all hands mustered amidships.

Farnham Signature iii He Mau Palapala Mai Kalipōnia Mai, Ka ʻĀina Malihini (Letters from California, the Foreign Land) Kānaka Hawai’i Agency and Identity in the Eastern Pacific (1820-1900) Thesis by April L. Farnham ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the ways in which working-class Kānaka Hawai’i (Hawaiian) immigrants in the nineteenth century repurposed and repackaged precontact Hawai’i strategies of accommodation and resistance in their migration towards North America and particularly within California. The arrival of European naturalists, American missionaries, and foreign merchants in the Hawaiian Islands is frequently attributed for triggering this diaspora. However, little has been written about why Hawaiian immigrants themselves chose to migrate eastward across the Pacific or their reasons for permanent settlement in California. Like the ali’i on the Islands, Hawaiian commoners in the diaspora exercised agency in their accommodation and resistance to Pacific imperialism and colonialism as well. Blending labor history, religious history, and anthropology, this thesis adopts an interdisciplinary and ethnohistorical approach that utilizes Hawaiian-language newspapers, American missionary letters, and oral histories from California’s indigenous peoples.

The pilings that are out there, that you have seen every time you have come here to this beach, are left over from the original pier that was built when the plantation was organized. They were out here in this remote area and they needed to get the sugar to market, and so that was built in order to get the sugar, and whatever else they were growing, to Honolulu to the markets. These (pilings) have been here ever since.
