In 1823, as the first American missionaries arrived in Hawaiʻi, the archipelago was experiencing a profound transformation in its rule, as oral law that had been maintained for hundreds of years was in the process of becoming codified anew through the medium of writing. The arrival of sailors in pursuit of the lucrative sandalwood trade obliged the aliʻi (chiefs) of the islands to pronounce legal restrictions on foreigners' access to Hawaiian women. Assuming the new missionaries were the source of these rules, sailors attacked two mission stations, fracturing relations between merchants, missionaries, and sailors, while native rulers remained firmly in charge.
In The Kingdom and the Republic, Noelani Arista (Kanaka Maoli) uncovers a trove of previously unused Hawaiian language documents to chronicle the story of Hawaiians' experience of encounter and colonialism in the nineteenth century. Through this research, she explores the political deliberations between aliʻi over the sale of a Hawaiian woman to a British ship captain in 1825 and the consequences of the attacks on the mission stations. The result is a heretofore untold story of native political formation, the creation of indigenous law, and the extension of chiefly rule over natives and foreigners alike.
Relying on what is perhaps the largest archive of written indigenous language materials in North America, Arista argues that Hawaiian deliberations and actions in this period cannot be understood unless one takes into account Hawaiian understandings of the past--and the ways this knowledge of history was mobilized as a means to influence the present and secure a better future. In pursuing this history, The Kingdom and the Republic reconfigures familiar colonial histories of trade, proselytization, and negotiations over law and governance in Hawaiʻi.

Описание: Chad Alan Butrum traversed the Earth for twenty-six years. To honour the moments of his Life, his artist mother Arista takes us on a journey of Love, Life and Laughter, as the young family forges new dreams from Detroit to Chicago, St. Louis, Malibu, and last stop New York City. After the unexpected loss of Chad to Sudden Cardiac Death as he played football, Arista finds herself in what she calls 'Castle Carolco, in the land of Hollywood.' Through his colleagues, she discovers the young man Chad was becoming - the promise of a talented creative writer who touched the lives of many people in his short Life. He was a 'young senator who wore a baseball/football uniform and loved all people- any age, any heritage, any orientation.' In Part II, Beyond A Mother's Memories, the author transcends loss into a quest for "Living," by founding the non-profit organization, The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists to safeguard young hearts so they can live long, healthy Lives and reach their most cherished dreams. It also inspires youth to live as its namesake did- anti-substance abuse and alcohol-free, "Healthy Body/Mind/ Spirit." (Chad never smoked a cigarette or drank an alcoholic beverage his entire Life.) To date, "The Chad Foundation Cardiovascular Screening Program" has provided 8,000 Echocardiograms in 5 states and, globally, in Austria and Sweden. She encounters many parents who have also lost children to SCD, and their heartfelt stories are shared within underscoring the critical importance of raising awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young, implementing preventive heart screenings, knowledge of CPR, and placement of AEDs. It is a journey of the Heart and the discovery that "The Heart is the Home of our two greatest gifts - Love and Life," and must be safeguarded as our most valued possession.
