'Onipa'a: Legal History of Hawai'i

February 18, 9:30am - 10:45am
West Oʻahu Campus, UHWO Library, 2nd floor

---

In this second installation of the 'Onipa'a series at UHWO, Dr. Keanu Sai will share about the legal history of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Dr. Sai's presentation will address the question: What happened to the Hawaiian Kingdom and why do we think Hawai‘i is a part of the United States?
See below for more details.

Presentation Description: On July 6, 1844, the United States recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom as an independent State, and entered into extensive treaty and diplomatic relations with the Hawaiian Kingdom, where the United States had an embassy in Honolulu and the Hawaiian Kingdom had an embassy in Washington, D.C. What happened to the Hawaiian Kingdom and why do we think Hawai‘i is a part of the United States? The stark reality is that it is not, and this presentation will present the facts as they are and not what we want them to be.

Presenter Bio: Dr. Keanu Sai, political scientist. Dr. Sai's doctoral research focused on the legal and political history of the Hawaiian Kingdom since the eighteenth century to the present. His dissertation is titled, "The American Occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom: Beginning the Transition from Occupied to Restored State."

'Onipa'a is a UHWO speaker series sponsored by 'Ulu'ulu Archive, UHWO Hawaiian-Pacific Studies, Political Science, and History Programs and the UHWO Library. For more information, call (808) 689-2740.
