Welcome to the December edition of #PacificTimelineTuesday !!⁠

192 years ago this month, on December 6, 1828, a Russian ship named Senyavin, under the command of Captain Fedor Lutke, was on a scientific expedition around the world when it landed at Kosrae in the present-day Federated States of Micronesia. During this visit, conflict arose between the visitors and Islanders, but relations are said to have turned “friendly” after a few days. The Lutke visit yielded some descriptions of dress, material culture, and more that have been useful for some historians today in understanding the island’s past. ⁠

It’s another CPIS #ThrowbackThursday ! ⁠
⁠
Today, we look back fondly and remember our beloved colleague and #CPISfriend, the late Dr. Karen Peacock. Karen was curator of the Pacific Collection at the University of Hawaii at Manoa library and CPIS affiliate faculty. She was raised in the Pacific Islands, and called Hawaii home. Karen was widely known as saying a part of her heart was always in Micronesia where she spent a significant portion of her life. She received a master‘s degree in library science in 1973, a master‘s in Pacific Islands studies in 1978 and her PhD in History in 1990 from UH Manoa. Karen received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006 at the 16th annual Pacific Islands Association of Libraries and Archives (PIALA) Conference held in Palau. Prior to Karen receiving the award, the only other person to do so was her father, Daniel J. Peacock in 1998. Daniel Peacock is considered the "father of Micronesian librarianship," recognized for his work to develop libraries in what was known as Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands as its director of library services.⁠
⁠
Karen passed away in 2010. She was cherished for her energy, humor, and welcoming presence for all those with a desire to learn more about the Pacific. She mentored many students and colleagues and will always be missed!⁠
⁠
In the background of Karen in this photo are some longtime #CPISfriends. Can you name them?⁠

This game featured three of Hawai’iʻs very own, Robert Apisa (Farrington High School), Dick Kenney (Iolani), and Charlie Wedemeyer (Punahou) who all played for Michigan State. The game ended in a tie 10-10. ⁠

Today, we’re stepping back in time at Moore Hall where a younger Terence Wesley-Smith works alongside former CPIS Administrative Assistant, Coco Needham. Terence and Coco were always student favorites. Terence holds the record as longest-serving graduate chair of the Center, oftentimes the first faculty that students engage with. Coco always welcomed students to the office, creating a space for them to feel at home during their studies. Mahalo, Coco and Terence for your support of #CPIStudentLife!.⁠

Did you know that 12 years ago this month, in November 2008, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (CNMI) elected its first delegate to the US Congress? In 2008, following a bill signed into law by then-President George W. Bush which included a provision allowing for a representative from the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, Sablan became the first and only US Congress member to represent the commonwealth as he is currently a member of congress today. Prior to 2008, the CNMI sent elected Resident Representatives to Washington, D.C. beginning in 1978 with the honorable Edward DLG Pangelinan. Like his fellow delegates from the other Pacific districts of American Samoa and Guam, Sablan holds non-voting status US House of Representatives.⁠
