DESCRIPTION:In 1928, the Territory of Hawaiʻi hosted the Cook Sesquicentennial which commemorated the anniversary of Captain Cook’s arrival. This celebration tried to\nlegitimize white settler colonial rule by anointing Cook as a forefather who brought\nHawai‘i into so-called modernity. These types of histories were largely disseminated by\nwhite settlers through state-sponsored texts, commissions, and institutions. I argue that\naliʻi wahine, who were mostly excluded from these apparatuses, intervened by\nperforming Hawaiian histories within the limited spaces available to them. I explore\nhow ali‘i Emma Ahu‘ena Taylor and her cohort of women from ‘Ahahui Māmakakaua\nrestaged settler-state histories during the sesquicentennial reenactment of Cook’s\narrival. As elite, gendered interpreters of Hawaiian history, they brought Hawaiian men\nand women on stage to showcase Hawaiian cultural practices and politics that\ndisrupted the colonial script. By doing so, they reasserted a Kānaka ‘Ōiwi sovereignty\nover the production of Hawaiian history.\nAbout the speaker: Noah Hanohano Dolim is a PhD student in U.S. History at the\nUniversity of California Irvine. His research reveals how ali‘i wahine built and maintained\nsovereignties outside of the nation-state across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\nNoah is from Kunia, O‘ahu and currently resides in Hilo, Hawai‘i.\nPlease email yuma@hawaii.edu to request the zoom link.
