Factors Contributing To College Retention In The Native Hawaiian Population, Linda Serra Hagedorn, Katherine Tibbetts, Hye Sun Moon, Jaime Lester

Linda Serra Hagedorn

Only a few rare educational studies have focused on the indigenous population of Hawaii; making Native Hawaiians one of the most understudied populations in the educational literature. Usually when Hawaiians are included in a study they are bundled under the heading of “Asian Americans”. This study uses data from a unique project that focuses on alumni and a set of students who received a special financial aid from a private school dedicated to the education of Native Hawaiians. The study proceeds to identify the factors leading to the acquisition of a bachelor’s degree of Native Hawaiians from the high school …

Richard Marsh: I'll go back till I was round about ten. Matthew Cowley came here to live. He brought a little boy. I do believe he adopted a little boy that was brought from up Nuhaka way somewhere. Tony was his name. The first thing he told Tony was, don't you mix with that man he was bad company. That was me, but anyway. That was one of my first introductions with Matthew Cowley.

Whangarei Stake Center

Mormon Pacific Historical Society

Monsey Anaru: We have a saying in New Zealand among the Maori people, which goes something like this: Kia poto tonu te okou to paipa kie maha nai waha. Translated: we're happy to see you, extremely happy. Especially when you're handed some candy and things like that. Literally, that means: have a short stalk on your pipe to retain the warmth closer to your mouth. So, I hope that I'm not going to speak for too long. I have all my notes with me. The first meeting place in Whangarei was a street by the central Baptist Church there where …

And we'll ask Hrother Pierce to give the opening invocation to this part of the program.

Mormonism And The Maori: A Look At Beginnings

Mormon Pacific Historical Society

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints launched a sustained mission to the New Zealand Maori beginning in the 1880s. Within a few short years thousands had been baptized. By the turn of the century, the church counted nearly a tenth of the total Maori population as members, with a significantly higher percentage in certain pas (settlements) along the east coast of the North Island from the southern Wairarapa to Poverty Bay and beyond.1 The reason Mormonism was so well accepted among a significant minority of Maori in the final decades of the nineteenth century and why it continues …

The Return Of Sam Brannan To Hawaii, Riley Moffat

Mormon Pacific Historical Society

We have all heard the story of Sam Brannan and how he led a party of Latter-day Saints from New York to California aboard the ship Brooklyn around Cape Horn in 1846. As part of that journey they stopped for awhile in Honolulu to resupply the ship. This journey was highlighted again as part of the sesquicentennial celebration of the pioneer trek west.

What I was not aware of was that Sam Brannan later returned to Hawaii under quite different circumstances.

Mormon Pacific Historical Society

Many of the articles in newspapers, journals and magazines which have been published during the past forty or forty five years about the Polynesian Colony of Iosepa, Skull Valley, Tooele County, Utah, have emphasized extreme sympathy for the colonists.

In Skull Valley the farming areas were smaller and the desolate areas were larger than in other places they have seen. In some of the nearby areas of lower …

In The South Seas, Robert I. Hillier

Studies in Scottish Literature

A general discussion of Robert Louis Stevenson's encounters with Pacific island cultures, which traces Robert Louis Stevenson's changing plans for a major book to be titled In the South Seas growing from his voyages in the Pacific; his frustrations with the task he had set himself, the disagreements and interventions in his plans by Sidney Colvin and Fanny Stevenson, and the limitations of the volume of the same title, using mostly unrevised material, published posthumously in 1896. Hillier argues that the book should be seen as the "writer's notebook," "an informative fragment," and sees Stevenson as drawing from it in …
