Abstract

Description

The core work of HPS is documenting kūpuna (elders) whose lives in hula are a collective wealth of ʻike (knowledge) about Hawaiʻi, Kānaka ʻŌiwi culture, and lived experience. Born primarily in the 1910s and 1920s, these kūpuna lived through a remarkable period of change in Hawaiʻi following the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Their lives spanned the Territorial Era, the Great Depression, World War II, the growth of tourism by sea and later by air, Statehood, the Hawaiian Renaissance, and the revitalization of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language). This guide highlights Oral History Collections of select materials that are available online. The kūpuna (elders) in this collection are Momi Aarona Kepilino, Hilda Akahane Keananaaina, Nona Beamer, Rhea Enos Akoi, George Holokai, Dorothy Johnston Beyer, Gladys Brash Joshua, Blossom Kunewa Joshua, Lorraine Daniel Joshua (collectively the Joshua Sisters), Myrtle Kahea Hilo. Robert "Lopaka" Kalani, Pearl Keawa Souza, Kahauanu Lake, Lehua Lee Loy Weatherwax, Kahili Long Cummings, Kaui Mahikoa Brandt, Lauae Maluo-Yung, Marjorie Murray Sumner, Puluelo Naipo Park, George Naope, Kauila Poaha Reyes, Joan Sniffen Lindsey, Emma Stone Kauhi, Queenie Ventura Dowsett, and Irene Wakinekona Lum Ho.
