  • An Emersonian in the Sandwich Islands: the Career of Giles Waldo
    An Emersonian in the Sandwich Islands: The Career of Giles Waldo Martin K. Doudna In the spring of 1845, two young friends of Ralph Waldo Emerson embarked independently on two very different experiments that were designed to answer some of the problems they faced. One of these experiments, Henry David Thoreau's sojourn of a little over two years at Walden Pond, is well known. The other experiment, Giles Waldo's sojourn of nearly three years in the Hawaiian Islands, deserves to be better known, not only because it provides an interest- ing contrast to Thoreau's experiment but also because it sheds light on the role of consuls and merchants in the Islands in the busy 1840s.1 Giles Waldo (1815 -1849), the eighth of nine children of a farmer in Scotland, Connecticut, came from an established New England family. Like Emerson, he was a descendant of Cornelius Waldo, who had settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1654,2 and his family home—a sturdy two-story New England farmhouse built about 1715—is owned today by the Scotland Historical Society. Emerson met him in January 1843 in Washington, D. C, while there on a lecture tour and described that meeting in a letter to Caroline Sturgis, who was later to marry Waldo's close friend, William Tappan: In the Rotunda of the Capitol, in the organic heart, that is, of our fair continent, my companion brought to me a youth of kindest & gentlest manners and of a fine person, who told me he had wished to see me more than any other person in the country, & only yesterday had expressed that wish.

For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity.

As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

  • Puana 'Ia Me Ka 'Oko'a: a Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian
    Vol. 5 (2011), pp. 107-133 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4494 Puana ‘Ia me ka ‘Oko‘a: A Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung Joseph Keola Donaghy University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and University of Otago, New Zealand In this paper I argue that the differences between spoken Hawaiian and vocal perfor- mance of western-influenced “traditional” Hawaiian music are representative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language. It contains a comparative analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung, using transcriptions of recorded examples by John Kameaaloha Almeida, a native speaker of the Hawaiian language and a prominent composer, singer, and instrumentalist. It will provide a pho- nemic analysis of notable and predictable variations heard in Hawaiian language vocal performances that are not heard in spoken Hawaiian. Further, it will show that rhythmic arrangement of morae over strong beats in the musical measure is largely analogous to accent in spoken Hawaiian, with some predictable exceptions. The paper also documents how, during his vocal performance, Almeida added three non-lexical vocables not heard in spoken Hawaiian. I argue that these characteristics and variation are indicative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language and, as such, are worthy of the same attention and scholarly scrutiny as spoken Hawaiian. The second goal of this applied research is to present the results in a manner that is accessible to practitioners of Hawaiian language performance. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 One day during my time as an undergraduate student in the Hawaiian Studies program at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, I was listening to a record- ing of Rev.

  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

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.

  • Hawaiʻi's Big Five
    Hawaiʻi’s Big Five (Plus 2) “By 1941, every time a native Hawaiian switched on his lights, turned on the gas or rode on a street car, he paid a tiny tribute into Big Five coffers.” (Alexander MacDonald, 1944) The story of Hawaii’s largest companies dominates Hawaiʻi’s economic history. Since the early/mid- 1800s, until relatively recently, five major companies emerged and dominated the Island’s economic framework. Their common trait: they were focused on agriculture - sugar. They became known as the Big Five: C. Brewer (1826;) Theo H. Davies (1845;) Amfac - starting as Hackfeld & Company (1849;) Castle & Cooke (1851) and Alexander & Baldwin (1870.) C. Brewer & Co. Amfac Founded: October 1826; Capt. James Hunnewell Founded: 1849; Heinrich Hackfeld and Johann (American Sea Captain, Merchant; Charles Carl Pflueger (German Merchants) Brewer was American Merchant) Incorporated: 1897 (H Hackfeld & Co;) American Incorporated: February 7, 1883 Factors Ltd, 1918 Theo H.

Actually, only Castle & Cooke has direct ties to the mission. However, Castle ran the ‘depository’ and Cooke was a teacher, neither were missionary ministers. Alexander & Baldwin were sons of missionaries, but not a formal part of the mission.

  • The Division of Labor Between Segment-Internal Structure and Violable Constraints* Bruce Morén CASTL, University of Tromsø Br
    The division of labor between segment-internal structure and violable constraints* Bruce Morén CASTL, University of Tromsø [email protected] This paper touches on a range of conceptual and practical issues that are relevant to current discussions regarding the nature of the phonological component of the grammar, including: featural, representational and constraint economy; representation versus evaluation; computation versus competence; the line between phonetics and phonology; categorical perception; full-specification of features versus minimal/contrastive specification; richness-of-the-base; the infinite candidate set; universality of constraints; the lexicon; and phonological acquisition. The paper begins with a review of several conceptual issues, highlights some interesting general problems and possible solutions (necessarily abridged due to space considerations), and then moves on to a detailed discussion of how one might model the segment inventory (including phonetic dispersion and variation) of a specific language in Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993). 1. Conceptual 1.1 Classic (and not-so-classic) Optimality Theory The classic Optimality Theory architecture is depicted in (1). OT is basically a Theory of Computation by which an input string is modified by a GEN(erator) function to produce a candidate set of possible outputs. This candidate set is evaluated by a language-particular hierarchy of violable constraints (i.e. the EVAL(uator) function), and the candidate that is most harmonic with respect to the constraint hierarchy is optimal and surfaces as the output string. (1) Classic OT Model (P&S 1993) /input string/ --> GEN --> candidate set --> EVAL --> [output string] candidate 1 constraint 1>> candidate 2 constraint 2>> candidate 3 constraint 3>> Although the classic OT model has been used extensively for over a decade in the field of phonology, and the model itself is fairly simple and elegant, 1 the simplicity of the overall architecture belies many complications lying beneath the surface.

Some historians have emphasized a continental approach and believe research should look west, toward the people that inhabited places outside the traditional “thirteen colonies” that would become the United States, such as the Gulf Coast or the Great Lakes region.
