Noenoe Silva on J. H. Kānepu'u & Hawaiian language newspapers


Noenoe Silva to Speak on 19th Century Hawaiian Newspapermen at Brown Bag Biography 3/9

Noenoe Silva, Associate Professor of Political Science and teacher of Hawaiian Language at UH Mānoa, will speak on "Puni Nūpepa: The Works of J. H. Kānepu'u, Nineteenth Century Hawaiian Newspaperman" on Thursday, March 9, from 12:00 noon to 1:15 p.m. at the Center for Biographical Research, Henke 325, 1800 East-West Road, on the UH Mānoa Campus. Admission is free.

Noenoe Silva writes:

In the mid-nineteenth century, J. H. Kānepu'u and others came together to create a Hawaiian-language newspaper controlled by neither the government nor the missionaries:

e pili ole i ka aoao hookahi wale no, aka i nupepa e pili ana i na aoao a pau. Aoao Kalavina, Katolika, Moremona, poe makemake i na kaao, poe makemake i na mele maikai, poe makemake i na Nuhou o na aina e, a pela aku. (Ka Hoku o ka Pakipika, 28 Nov. 1861)

[not affiliated with one denomination, but a newspaper concerning all the denominations. Calvinist, Catholic, Mormon, people who want stories, people who want good songs and poetry, people who want news from abroad and so forth.]

Ka Hoku o ka Pakipika began publication as that independent voice in 1861.

Noenoe Silva, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Hawai'' at Mānoa, is the author most recently of Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Colonialism (Duke UP, 2004). This talk is the second in a series of explorations of nineteenth-century Hawaiian language newspapers as sources of resistance, history, and political and cultural renewal.
