3 Haw. J.L. & Pol. 1 (2021)

handle is hein.journals/hawjolp3 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S NOTE The past will offer up what needs to be known as long as it is respected and not manipulated by careless, misguided but often well-meaning polemical blasts from ego-driven scholars who place contemporary agendas before those of the historical actors themselves. - Kanalu Young George Terry Kanalu Young offered up these words of insight on observations he made about the political use of history in Hawai'i in his article from the second volume of the Hawaiian Journal of Law and Politics (HJLP) entitled Kuleana: Toward a Historiography of Hawaiian National Consciousness, 1778 - 2001. Kanalu, as he was known, called for the analysis, development, and deployment of a Hawaiian national consciousness through careful engagement with the sources left behind by our kupuna,2 and he proposed methods and ethics for these types of endeavors, which he noted were not a part of the developing canon of the day on Hawaiian history and politics. Kanalu was the founding faculty advisor for the Hawaiian Society of Law and Politics (HSLP) that was started up in October 2003 at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa by Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian graduate and undergraduate students from across different disciplines. As the advisor, Kanalu served as mentor to a group of students undertaking lines of inquiry that engaged or incorporated the facts surrounding the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom nation-state. These lines of inquiry were met with great skepticism at the time in all of the major disciplines where other Hawaiian faculty were housed including, law, Hawaiian studies, and political science. Kanalu worked to understand and then incorporate the Hawaiian Kingdom into his own writings and teachings on history and politics by first participating in a dual undergraduate/graduate class with many of the HSLP members entitled Introduction to the Hawaiian State, put on by Kawika Tengan and taught by Keanu Sai. As the faculty advisor and a presenter, Kanalu took part in the 1st Annual Symposium of HSLP held at the Imin International Conference Center to great community reception in 2005. He then forefronted the Hawaiian Kingdom line of inquiry into his own work as a professor, teaching an advanced graduate level class called Seminar on the History of Hawaiian Kingdom Law, and he created and implemented a still standing permanent class HWST 691 Kukulu Aupuni: Sovereign Hawaiian State, Domestic Kingdom Law, Governance and Politics. 1 Kanalu Young, Kuleana: Toward a Historiography of Hawaiian National Consciousness, 178 - 2001 Hawaiian Journal ofLaw and Politics, 2 (2006): 30. 2 Kupuna in the Hawaiian language is plural for ancestors.
