dc.descriptionSSHRC Awarded IDG 2015: The project focuses on historical analysis of indigenous Hawaiians' [Kanaka Maoli] submissions to Hawaiian language newspapers (1834 - 1948). In 19th century Hawaii, missionaries' leisure-discourses were intimately connected with colonial structures and judgments about Kanaka Maoli's fitness to self-govern. Having adopted writing early in the missionary experience, Kanaka Maoli used self-produced, Hawaiian language, newspapers to create an intellectual tradition and commons from 1838 to 1948. These newspapers are a valuable source for understanding what Kanaka Maoli of the time thought about the discourses that categorized their cultural/spiritual practices as marketable leisure activities. The project will include developing a leisure-search strategy for the yet-untranslated Hawaiian language newspapers, and analysis of two Kanaka Maoli practices labeled as leisure by missionaries. The intellectual outcomes will include: Demonstrate the role of leisure discourses in colonial misrepresentations of Indigenous practices and Kanaka Maoli use of cultural practices to maintain well-being and resist colonialization. Materially contribute to the Hawaiian-language intellectual commons through search strategies and translation; Historical analysis has implications for current tourism/leisure practices and self-determination actions relevant for other Indigenous communities.
