Volume Four of the Hawaiian Journal ofLaw and Politics continues both
its unique and important mission as an interdisciplinary peer reviewed
journal rooted in the legal fact of the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom
nation-state. The Hawaiian Journal of Law and Politics is the only
publication of in the Hawaiian Kingdom at present.
The reemergence of Volume Three of the Hawaiian Journal of Law and
Politics continued this important area of research and writing as an
editorial board peer reviewed publication. Volume Four marks the
transition of the Journal to a double blind peer reviewed publication, which
will be the operating review process for the volumes to come.
This volume starts with an important article by Kau'i Sai-Dudoit entitled
Aloha 'ina: From the Historical record. Sai-Dudoit researches the
emergence, use, and meaning of the term aloha 'aina as patriotism rooted
in love for the ma'!, the people, and the land. Originating in napepa articles
in the early 1860s, Sai-Dudoit notes the term's evolution, and follows its
dramatic rise in print-use after the events surrounding the 1887 Bayonet
Constitution, and through subsequent events into the fight against
annexation and the beginning period of U.S. military occupation. Its an
important article in the discussion on the meaning of aloha 'aina today,
which has seen a rise in use that is trying to separate the meaning of
patriotism from its overwhelming majority use in the late 1800s. Sai-
Dudoit's article is also important in showing methodology on how we
should go about researching these terms and their meanings in the
Hawaiian newspapers.
Dr. Larson Ng provides us with an original research article based on his
work examining the establishment of English language medium schools in
the Hawaiian Kingdom that became a part of the ethos of Kauikeaouli and
his government. With the passage of An Act for The Encouragement and
Support of English Schools for Hawaiian Youth, in the 1854 aboriginal
Hawaiian run legislature, the option for aboriginal Hawaiian students to
attend English language medium schools was made available. Ng shows
through qualitative and quantitative analysis the aboriginal Hawaiian led
drive to broaden Hawaiian Kingdom education as part of Hawaiian
Kingdom statecraft showing the growth and majority enrollment of
aborginal Hawaiian youth in both public and private English language
medium schools. He argues that rather than being a colonial imposition as
some indigenists have suggested, that the increase in aboriginal Hawaiian
enrollment in this mode of schooling was a conscious educational choice.
Dr. Lorenz Gonschor provides us with another important look at the
influence of Hawaiian Kingdom statecraft on diplomacy and politics
between the Kalakaua administration and Tahitian royalty under French
Polynesia. He also provides us with a look at some of the politics within
