Some may say Hawaiian people hate the government and hate all national park rangers ect. Some information you hear may be true. Some may not be true because as Hawaiian people we appreciate those who work for Government owned land resources but keep preserving the Hawaiian land and cultural aspects. Those kind of people get much respect. Even if it doesn’t appear so, Haleakalā is a fragile landscape. It is home to a variety of plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world and includes a number of significant cultural sites.

His named successor, Lydia Kamaka'eha Dominis, ascended to the office of Constitutional Monarch and was thereafter called Queen Lili'uokalani. On January 14, 1893, in an attempt to counter the effects of the so-called constitution of 1887, Her Majesty Queen Lili'uokalani, drafted a new constitution that embodied the principles and wording of the Constitution of 1864. This draft constitution was not Kingdom law, but remained subject to ratification by two-thirds of all members of the legitimate Legislative Assembly, that had been out of session since October 16,
Often times, the history that is being told is one of Hawaiian weakness, and defeat. The Bayonet Constitution of 1887, the Overthrow of 1893, and the Annexation of 1898, are all often used as examples of moments of powerlessness in the Hawaiian Kingdom. What about all history prior to, in between, and after, these major dates? Surely, it did not just disappear. In the last few decades, Hawaiian history has changed dramatically due to the works of many Hawaiian historians. The history that was lost has been found, and new discoveries are still being made. Hawaiʻi’s history is a story of resistance, pride, and unity. Included within this history is a man named Robert William Kalanihiapo Wilcox. Wilcox was a revolutionist, and a leader, but he enjoyed being a politician the most. Wilcox was the beacon of hope that helped guide the people of Hawaiʻi through darkness. Wilcox was and still is today a symbolic figure in Hawaiʻi’s political history.
The 1887 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii or more commonly known as the Bayonet Constitution was a legal document constructed by anti-monarchists who

In comparison to other slaves that are discussed over time, Olaudah Equiano truly does lead an ‘interesting’ life. While his time as a slave was very poor there are certainly other slaves that he mentions that received far more damaging treatment than he did. In turn this inspires him to fight for the abolishment of slavery. By pointing out both negative and positive events that occurred, the treatment he received from all of his masters, the impact that religion had on his life and how abolishing slavery could benefit the future of everyone as a whole; Equiano develops a compelling argument that does help aid the battle against slavery. For Olaudah Equiano’s life journey expressed an array of cruelties that came with living the life of an

Hawaii is a top vacation destination by many tourists all over the world. When Hawaii comes to mind many people and different cultures imagine sandy beaches, warm, blue waters, lush green backdrops, Hula dancers in grass skirts with flowers in their hair and leis around their necks. These visual representations are iconic symbols of Hawaii and of what many have come to define as Hawaiian. These images and ideas painted by the visitor industry most often take place at the expense of the Hawaiians historic culture. These stereotypes conjured up by the tourist indus...
The moʻolelo [mo-oh-le-lo] or story of Hāloa [haw-loh-uh] teaches about the importance of ʻāina. The story of Hāloa began when a stillborn baby named Hāloa was born. Hāloa’s body was buried, and from it grew first kalo [kah-lo] or taro plant, a Hawaiian food staple which foods like poi is made from. Eventually, Hāloa’s younger brother was born. He was the first man ever and was named Hāloa after his older brother. This moʻolelo shows the importance of ʻāina to Hawaiians. Hāloa who grew into the first kalo plant represents ʻāina and all its resources. ʻĀina is the older brother of the kānaka [kuh-nuh-kuh] or people because he cares for them by providing nourishment. In return, the kānaka, younger brother, takes care of the ʻāina by not being wasteful or harmful to the ʻāina. To the Hawaiians, losing land was like losing an older brother. Because of The Great Māhele, 99 percent of Hawaiʻi’s ʻāina belonged to nobles and foreigners. This is another example of how the Hawaiians were losing their
Architecture is defined as the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect (Architecture). Architecture has changed from its earlier years due to technological advances and new, modernist styles. But with these changes, architecture is becoming more and more difficult; some may even say that it is dying. On the other hand, some see it as a growing field with even more possibilities because of the new technologies now being implemented. Aulani is a Disney Resort and Spa in Ko Oline, Hawaii. This discussion will be about how Disney responded to peoples’ needs, wants, and desires, special architectural structures specific to this resort,
While walking down the beach, the white, warm sand mushes between your toes. The sun’s radiant rays beam off your glowing skin. The sound of waves crashing blocks out the external world. There is no other place like the gorgeous tropical islands of Hawaii. The wide range of flowers, cuisine, and wildlife makes it one of the most picturesque places on Earth. It also leads the United States with the highest racial minority rate making it the most diverse state. However, there are numerous hidden dangers of Hawaii, and not all ethnic groups get along causing sharp tensions across the island.

My understanding of the question is that I am to demonstrate my view of Mātauranga, (traditional Māori knowledge) and Kaupapa Māori (traditional Māori ethics and values) and how they are incorporated into today’s world. I will be relating my interpretation specifically to sustainable land development and the principle of Kaitiakitanga, that is, the guardianship of land and the environment in current times. To accomplish this I shall first present my understanding of Māori World View, define ethics and values and describe Mātauranga and Kaupapa Māori with reference to sustainable development of Māori land, in today’s world.
