Post-Apocalyptic Life in Hawaii

Hundreds of years ago, our founding fathers made the Islands of Hawaii their own kingdom. Since the beginning of time, Hawaii has always been independent. Looking through the history of our home state, we have come a long way. The people have been through many trials and tribulations, and if we were able to get through those many things, whose to say that we can’t get through this as well. For many years, our people have continuously fought for our rights and place in the country of the United States, why are we letting ourselves give up now? We are the ancestors of the founding fathers, their legacy is in are hands and their hard work is in our hands. Hundreds of people did not die throughout the years fighting

    “Hawaii Monarchy Overthrown by America-Backed Businessmen”, is an article written by The Learning Network and published by the New York Times on January 17th, 2012. “Hawaii Monarchy Overthrown by America-Backed Businessmen” is organized chronologically, detailing the events of the overthrow of Hawaii. It begins by describing how the Europeans, ever since the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778, have attempted to alter the Hawaiians lifestyle. This struggle for power between the Europeans and Hawaiians reached a climax when a group of businessmen (known as the Hawaiian League) forced King Kalakaua to sign a new constitution, under the threat of violence, which revoked his power. This constitution, now known as the Bayonet Constitution, not only…

    Hawaii Apology Analysis

    The main point of the apology was the u.s government saying they are sorry for the overthrow back on January 17 1893. Also that they are sorry for forcing the queen out of power without a fair reason for taking over Hawaii. I think that the apology resolution was important the the Hawaiian nation because, after the overthrow hawaii was forced into the u.s.a without being able to run things the way the hawaiian people wanted. For example as soon as hawaii was annexed in the the u.s they came to hawaii and took hawaiian lands and used it for the u.s needs and it pretty much took over the hawaiian sugar plantation fields so many people lost jobs and it was hard being under the u.s rules now. Another example of why it was important to the hawaiian…

    The Effects of the Great Mahele in Hawaii The Great Mahele of 1848 had political, economic, and social impacts on the Hawaiians and others. The reason for the Great Mahele or land division was foreigners wanted to own land and pass it down to their children. The foreigners pushed King Kamehameha III to allow them to be land owners as they needed large areas of land for their sugar plantations and they did not like the idea of the long term leases of land provided by the King. The foreigners did not understand the way the Hawaiians split the land and that money was not important to the Hawaiians(Potter, Kasdon, Rayson 97).…

    The parallels of the creation stories of the Hawaiian’s and that of Hinduism is too evident to not compare. While the stories have many variances, the context and effect in their particular region is almost identical. Both stories tell of a time where emptiness and unknowns were the norm, however the stories of Kumulipo and Purushasukta parallel in the creation of the world as we know it through a specific event whether it be the sacrifice of the ultimate being or a night of creation. The parallelism of the creation stories is not a mere act of coincidence, as we would later discuss of the parallels of Zoroastrianism and Christianity with both having a constant battle of good and evil.…
