    KE KŌ A KE AU: KE KIʻINA KĀKAU MOʻOLELO HAWAIʻI KUʻUNA MA KE ANAHULU MAKAHIKI 1860 ME KA LOLI I ʻIKE ʻIA I KE AU O KA MANAWA.
    ( 2017-11) Forrest, Devin Kamealoha ; Perreira, Hiapokeikikāne K. ; Hawaiian Language and Literature
    This thesis examines the writing style of native authors who wrote traditional stories published in the Hawaiian language newspapers during the 1860s. In Chapter 1, trends of creative change are explored within the writing style of this period by looking at traditional ethno-literary devices called “meiwi.” By calculating the frequency of four of these ethno-literary devices that specifically relate to creative evolution in literature, a trend is measurable in traditional written and published Hawaiian stories, starting with the earliest traditional newspaper story in 1834 until the end of the 1860s. Chapter 2 looks at language specific changes by focusing on common themes within a majority of the sample stories chosen, such as marriage/sex, eating, birth, and war. In Chapter 3 and in the second part of this paper, metaphoric language is defined through visual aides in order to help present-day readers understand native Hawaiian perspectives of the past. This would then increase our understanding of Hawaiian metaphoric language in order to perpetuate these perspectives into the future.

Abstract This dissertation is an analysis of noun phrase relative clause (NPRC) and existential relative clauses (EPRC) of Hawaiian. This analysis was designed to support the Hawaiian language revitalization movement of Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikōlani, the College of Hawaiian Language at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo. It supports the educational philosophy of the college, the Kumu Honua Mauli Ola, which targets the development and maintenance of the mauli Hawaiʻi, the Hawaiian life force or identity, by providing a resource for the future generations of Hawaiian language speakers tasked with maintaining and strengthening the life of the language, a major aspect of mauli Hawaiʻi. Additionally, this paper provides a distinct domain where Hawaiian can exist by documenting the aspects of the NPRC and EPRC in the Hawaiian language for Hawaiian language speakers in the context of university academia. Verb phrase RC (VPRC) of the Hawaiian language seems to garner most of the attention when it comes to Hawaiian language analysis. Accounts of NPRC and EPRC analyzes were infrequent and inadequate. This paper will reveal certain facets and aspects of these types of RC that were previously unanalyzed, namely restrictive RC (pili) and relative appositives (akapili) of NPRC and EPRC, the listing of their predicate markers, the analysis of their root forms, and the positions of the root sentence from where the relativized head noun or phrasal head noun originated. Semantics, particularly the description of the head noun the RC provides, plays a major role in the categorization of restrictive and relative appositive NPRC and EPRC of Hawaiian. Pili RC provides a description separating the head noun from other potential head nouns of the same domain. Akapili RC provides additional information or renames the phrasal head noun, not necessarily isolating its head from other head nouns of the same domain. The paper will compare and contrast the NPRC and EPRC with Keenan and Comrie’s Accessibility Hierarchy to help analyze the differences of the RC’s description. Syntactically, pili (join, cling) was chosen as the word to describe restrictive RC because it is usually attached to the head noun and found in the same phrase. Akapili was chosen to represent relative appositives because the RC is not attached to the head noun and is found in the subsequent phrase in the “aka” or shadow of the phrasal head noun. These two types of RC will be further categorized into subjectless (-S) RC and RC that retains its subject (+S). An analysis of the relationship of these RC with their root forms will also be provided. Examples providing verification of these RC were collected from old Hawaiian newspapers and other forms of literature composed before the negative effects of English on Hawaiian became prevalent. Forms of NPRC and EPRC that differ from those previously mentioned will also be examined. These include types of NPRC that also have verb phrases, such as kālele kūlana RC and NPRC using genitive predicate markers along with a verb phrase. Other differing forms include the relativization of pronouns and the relativization of genitives in NPRC and EPRC. Data of the the distribution of these types of RC in Kalapana, a story written by native Hawaiian language speaker Moses Nākuina, will be analyzed to provide authentic context and frequency of RC usage in this form of literature.

    He ki'ina haku mo'oha'awina e ola ai nā pahuhopu ho'ona'auao kaia'ōlelo mauli ola Hawai'i
    (ProQuest LLC, 2013) Reppun, Kealohi M.
    This paper presents a ten-step process to be used in creating classroom level curriculum, which aligns with and fulfills the educational goals of the Hawaiian-Medium Mauli-Based Education Program. The process proposed addresses: state-level standards and requirements, school-level goals and focus, cultural and contextual perspectives, as well as, utilitarian perspectives on making learning applicable and natural for the learner. The classroom level curriculum template created is of value in that it may serve as a base unit on which school-wide curriculum can be developed, and it may also serve as a foundation from which individual lesson plans can be designed.

    He kama'aina au no kahelelani, he kupa no ka la welo i lehua: He noi'ina mele Ni'ihau
    (ProQuest LLC, 2013) Kahaunaele, Donna Kainaniokalihiwai
    This study focuses on the analysis of 15 secular songs from Ni'ihau composed by natives Emily K. Waili'ula, David K. K. Waili'ula, John E., and Dora K. K. K. Hulu'aulani. The two goals of the analysis are to see how and what connections they make to their homeland in their mele, and to delve into the Hawaiian poetry to better understand their Ni'ihau and overall Hawaiian perspective.

    Meha Ka Leo I Ka Nahele: He Noiʻina I Ka Poʻe Kāpili Manu O Ke Au Kahiko
    ( 2015) Gomes, Noah Joseph ; Langlas, Charles M. ; Hawaiian Language and Literature
    In this paper I have researched the kinds of bird hunting practiced traditionally throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago. I have collected, analyzed, and documented all of the sources that could be found on the subject of traditional Hawaiian bird hunting, commonly referred to as called kāpili manu. Sources utilized include Hawaiian language newspaper articles, old manuscripts, journal publications, old interviews, and traditional Hawaiian stories. This paper has been divided up into three major parts. In Māhele 1, the bird hunters themselves are examined, as well as their lifestyle when on hunting trips. This is done in five chapters: 2. The Konohiki System, 3. The Qualities of a Bird Hunter, 4. Mountain Living, 5. Trespassing on Land Boundaries, 6. The Spiritual Aspects of Bird Hunting. In Māhele 2, native Hawaiian birds and how often they were caught are examined through two chapters: 7. The Traditional Categorization System of Native Birds Used by Hawaiians, and 8. The Birds Most Hunted on Hawaiʻi Island. The last section, Māhele 3 looks at hunting methods of specific kinds of birds. First examined are the general traditional methods of catching small forest birds. Then the hunting of the ʻōʻō (Moho spp.), the mamo (Drepanis pacifica), ʻuaʻu (Pterodroma sandwichensis) and kōlea (Pluvialis fulva) each have their own chapter. The business of bird hunting was important in ancient Hawaiʻi. Birds were hunted for food, feathers, and for tools. Ma keia pepa nei, ua noiʻi ʻia ke ʻano o ke kāpili manu o ke au kahiko o Hawaiʻi paeʻāina.
