  • Learning about Hawai'i

    While doing some research, I stumbled across this website from Brown University which looks like a student project about the history of Hawai'i. I wish they had had this kind of course when I was in school in Hawai'i...

    Anybody thinking about visiting/moving to Hawai'i could probably learn a few things by taking this quick review.

    Chapter 1: Early Hawaiian history
    Chapter 2: Post Western Contact
    Chapter 3: Legends and Folklore
    Chapter 4: Language and Literature
    Chapter 5: Role of Food, Dance and Music
    Chapter 6: Schooling and Education
    Chapter 7: Emergence of a Multiethnic Lifestyle
    Chapter 8: Land Issues
    Chapter 9: Historical Background to Sovereignty Movement
    Chapter 10: Sovereignty and the Future

    I don't know that reading Malo and Kamakau would be the most appropriate entry-level material for the unfamiliar. In fact, I couldn't appreciate them until I could read them in Hawaiian, because the English is very much the English of a second-language speaker, and 19th century prose at that, and it is too easy to misinterpret them.
