For more than 120 years, Bishop Museum has carried on the legacies of our founder Charles Reed Bishop and his wife, Bernice Pauahi Bishop, by preserving and protecting the cultural and natural history of Hawai‘i and the Pacific. Today, with more than 24 million items in our care, our respon-

sibilities are greater than ever, and yet we also face some of the greatest fiscal challenges in our history. The continuing economic downturn has been a shared burden for us all, but it also provides us a unique opportunity to reconsider notions of sustainability, stewardship, and responsibility.

In March of 2011, after extensive stakeholder input, discussion, and deliberation, the Board of Directors adopted a new Strategic Plan which places education and public engagement squarely at the forefront of the Museum’s endeavors. As we move forward in implementing this plan, we understand the need to be relevant and responsive to the diverse and changing needs of our community. For example, while providing exhibition and programming experiences to more than 387,000 people, including over 46,000 students, we also installed a 10,800 square foot photovoltaic system on the roof of the Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center—the largest of any Hawai‘i non-profit. This project became not only a cost-saving measure, but a means of teaching the next generation about climate change and alternative energy sources.

Our challenge is also to embrace stewardship in new and expansive ways. Endeavors such as our Bishop Museum Press children’s book, Legend of the Gourd, our e-book initiatives, and the documentary Under a Jarvis Moon, not only featured our own archival materials, but enabled these stories to be shared with tens of thousands of people here and abroad. And in October of 2010, Bishop Museum was selected to host the annual gathering of the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), bringing together national and international science centers and museums from across the world to raise public under-standing of science’s role in solving critical societal issues.

These are indeed challenging times, but we look forward to working with all segments of our community, the Board, our members and funders, to strengthen our institution, ensuring its long-term growth and sustainability. We will be seeking new and innovative ways to establish community partnerships, in order that we might best bear our responsibilities in upholding the legacies of Princess Bernice Pauahi and Charles Reed Bishop. And finally, we are indebted to our predecessors, Timothy E. Johns, who served as President and CEO from 2007 to 2011 and Dr. Charman J. Akina, who served as Chairman of the Board from 2006 to 2011, for their compassionate and visionary leadership.

With aloha,

under a Jarvis Moon

Under a Jarvis Moon is an outgrowth of a 2002 Bishop Museum traveling exhibition, Hui Panalā‘au: Hawaiian Colonists, American Citizens. Remarked project manager Noelle Kahanu, whose grandfather is one of the last five surviving colonists,

Primarily funded through the U.S. Department of Education’s ECHO project, the one-hour documentary tells the little-known story of 134 mostly Hawaiian young men who were sent on a secret federal mission from 1935 to 1942 to colonize the remote islands of Howland, Baker, and Jarvis. The film shares the story of these colonists through oral history interviews, as well as through photographs, log book entries, and government documents. The film, which was nominated for the Halekulani Golden Orchid Award for Feature Documentary, premiered to sold-out audiences at the 2010 Hawai‘i International Film Festival in October and was seen by over 1,000 people. In partnership with PBS Hawaii, the film was then re-scripted, and re-edited with a new musical score, in preparation for its local its television premiere on August 25, 2011. DVDs are available for free distribution to Hawai‘i schools and libraries.

“Under a Jarvis Moon represents the very best example of the good that museums can do—to uncover lost stories, honor our past, and celebrate family and community.”

Anthropology Highlights

cultural resourcesThe Cultural Resources Division encompasses collections

and research programs that preserve and document the cultures of Hawai‘i and the Pacific, including Anthropol-

ogy, Conservation, Cultural Collections, Library & Archives, and the Bishop Museum Press. Together these departments include 1.2 million cultural artifacts representing Native Hawaiian, Pacific Island, and Hawai‘i immigrant life. Staff members care for these collections in a manner that blends traditional knowl-edge with modern technology to create access for as many people as possible.

Primary and published materials in the Museum’s Library & Archives include over 125,000 historical publications—including

those that were the first published in the Hawaiian language—and over 1 million historical photographs, moving picture films,works of art, audio recordings, and manuscripts. These resources are recognized around the world for their depth and richness, and are made available to researchers in many fields of study.

Bishop Museum Press, established in 1892, is the oldest publish-ing house in Hawai‘i and one of the first scholarly publishers in the western hemisphere. With over 1,250 published titles that reach more than 72 countries worldwide, it maintains its com-mitment to the publication of scholarly work on Hawai‘i and the Pacific while continuing to develop new materials for diverse communities of Hawai‘i.

Field Research in ChinaDr. Tianlong Jiao, archaeologist and chairman of the department, directed archaeological investigations in China. In collaboration with Fujian Museum and Xiamen University, Dr. Jiao and his team excavated the Qihedong site and conducted surveys on the Dongshan Island and the lower Min River valley, Fujian Prov-ince. The excavation of Qihedong cave site found pottery at least 13,000 years old. Among the earliest pottery in the world, it is a significant breakthrough to understand the beginning of the Neolithic in this coastal region. Surveys on Dongshan Island and the lower Min River valley yielded more than 40 new archaeo-logical sites and features, contributing to a greater understanding of the settlement patterns from Neolithic to Bronze Age in this region. Funded by the Henry Luce Foundation and the Freeman Foundation.

Field Research in East PolynesiaAssociate archaeologist Dr. Jennifer Kahn directed the research project in East Polynesia, which was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Patrick V. Kirch of the University of California at Berkeley. This project applies an environmental archaeology/paleoecology approach to understand trajectories of interaction between prehistoric human populations in Eastern Polynesia and their natural environments. During the 2011 field season, Dr. Kahn directed coastal archaeology excavations at ten sites on Mo‘orea (Society Islands), many with well-preserved organic remains that will be instrumental for dating long-term, human-induced environmental change in Central Eastern Polynesia. Thus far an endemic coconut that was present prior to human settlement of the island has been identified, as well as numerous terrestrial land snails and insects that represent new species. Funded by the National Science Foundation.

Academic Publications and ConferencesNumerous articles and manuscripts were completed and/or published, including: Dr. Tianlong Jiao’s “New Archaeological Studies of Fujian Prehistory” (2000-2010) (in collaboration with Fujian Museum and Xiamen University), and “Lithic Analysis of the Tianluoshan Site” (in collaboration with Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Antiquity and Archaeology, China). Dr. Jiao also published six peer-reviewed articles, two in English, four in Chinese, and Dr. Jennifer Kahn published an article in American Anthropologist. Dr. Tianlong Jiao’s research also received notable international attention at conferences in Honolulu, China, and Taiwan.

Collections CareThe Anthropology Department is continuing efforts at digitiz-ing the Hawaiian archaeological collection with support from an NHCAP grant and an Office of Hawaiian Affairs partner-ship. The goal of the Hawaiian Archaeological Data Survey Project (HAS) is to increase the public’s access to Hawaiian

archaeological information in order to stimulate interest in the study of Hawai‘i’s past, and to increase understanding regard-ing existing sites and documentation that may be at risk. This online resource of 12,860 archaeological sites (currently available through the Bishop Museum website) provides the academic and lay researcher with data on where information and collections of archaeological significance can be located.

Along with additions to the HAS database, the Anthropology Department has also been busy training staff, interns, and vol-unteers on collections care and archival storage practices. Two part-time employees have taken on the primary responsibil-ity of digitizing of the manuscripts and artifact collection. Part of their training involved the proper handling of photographs and paper documents as well as updated archival storage meth-ods. This has resulted in a systematic digitizing and re-housing of manuscripts and artifacts as each is entered into the HAS database. Five volunteers and interns were also trained this year. They have contributed many hours to scanning project reports, beginning a map inventory, labeling artifacts, and re-housing objects from sites on the Big Island of Hawai‘i.

Outreach Education to Public SchoolsAnthropology staff have concentrated on educating elementary children about archaeology in Hawai‘i. Staff visited six Title 1 elementary schools located on O‘ahu and Lāna‘i to explain what archaeologists do. An interactive presentation was coupled with hands-on activities to give kids an idea of the work involved in an excavation. They were able to use “Dig Kits” (made by the Science Education Department at the Museum) which allowed them to find objects in a bin of sand, identify them in a booklet, and then interpret the site based on what they found. They then presented their results to the classroom. Children and teachers welcomed the opportunity to try archaeology first-hand, and learn more about Hawaiian prehistory at the same time. Funded by the Freeman Foundation and ECHO.

Splendor of Hawaii and Polynesia Traveling Exhibition Cultural Collections staff developed their second exhibition for travel in recent years. With experience gained from installing an exhibition at the National Museum of Prehistory in Taiwan in 2007, a partnership was formed with two major provincial museums in China. An exhibition of nearly 150 Polynesian artifacts, with a special emphasis on Hawaiian items, was then developed, and the artifacts prepared for transport. Staff traveled to China for the installation of the exhibition, The Splendor of Hawaii and Polynesia, which first opened at the Fujian Museum in January and at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum in April. Upon its return, the exhibition will be revised and will be featured in Bishop Museum’s Long Gallery.

Ike Pāpale NEA Hat Weaving Documentation ProjectIn the spring of 2011, Bishop Museum received a planning grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The project, “Ike Papale, The Living Legacy of Hawaiian Hats,” involves documenting many aspects of hat weaving in Hawai‘i, from the collection of materials to the skills and styles of specific masters and their students. A goal of the grant will be to plan a traveling exhibition to share the information gathered, through images, interviews, and hat treasures from private and museum collections. Bishop Museum is partnering with the Michigan State University Museum’s Kurt Dewhurst and Marsha McDowell, noted scholars in the field of Native American and Native Hawaiian folk arts.

InternshipsDr. Jennifer Kahn supervised nine undergraduate and graduate student interns in archaeological laboratory analyses utilizing the Museum’s collections. Activities included sorting charcoal samples, analyzing stone tools, identifying prehistoric shell

assemblages, and processing and charring wood reference collection samples. Under the supervision of Dr. Tianlong Jiao, three interns received archaeology field training in China. During the three-month field season in Society Islands, under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Kahn, two Tahitian students were trained in archaeological techniques, in addition to two undergraduate students and a graduate student from UH-Mānoa.

Pacific ExhibitionsAnthropology staff have been actively involved in the Polyne-sian Hall renovation project and have served in all stages of the project, including directing research, consulting with the content committee, schematic design, content and media development, and grant writing. In addition, Dr. Jennifer Kahn and Teresa Ingalls led and attended interviews with indigenous commu-nity specialists and archaeology consultants. Dr. Tianlong Jiao also co-directed the traveling exhibition Splendor of Hawaii and Polynesia, and both Dr. Jiao and Dr. Kahn contributed essays to the exhibition catalogue. The exhibition and the catalogue suc-cessfully brought Bishop Museum to a wide range of Chinese audiences.

Planning for a New Exhibition, Tradition and TransitionCultural Collections staff, in conjunction with staff from the Education and Exhibits departments, participated in the development of an immigrant exhibition, destined for the second floor of the Castle Memorial Building. The exhibit opened in November 2011. Funded by the Atsuhiko & Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation and Hawai‘i Imin Shiryo Hozon Kai.

Cultural Collections Highlights

Dismantling of Polynesian HallIn April, Cultural Collections staff met the challenge of disman-tling the two-floor exhibition in Polynesian Hall in preparation for its renovation. The task took three weeks, followed by months of work as each item was individually condition checked and cleaned before being placed into a new storage location. Many of the artifacts, especially the larger carved figures and masks, had been on display since the 1980s. Mentoring and Internship Initiatives Working with students has been an important activity during recent years, both at the high school and college level. From Sep-tember through April, two high school students from Assets School, Alika Philpotts and Kelsey Buss, worked with staff mem-bers doing a range of collection management tasks. The students

Digitization of the Museum’s Audio CollectionArchives staff completed a two-year project to digitize the Museum’s collection of important, yet largely unknown Hawaiian audio holdings. The initiative converted approximately 1,700 reels, or more than 850 hours of material, to appropriate digital media. Notable in the digitized audio holdings are the Roberts Collection of Hawaiian mele dating from 1923-1924, the Kuluwaimaka Collection (the voice of a chanter once in King Kalākaua’s court) dating from 1933, and the diverse body of Native Hawaiian oral traditions primarily collected by Mary Kawena Pukui in the 1950s and 1960s. Audio technicians and Hawaiian language experts also worked with the digitized audio to create detailed tracking information and expanded catalog descriptions, now available through the University of Hawai‘i’s Voyager system online. This two-year project represents an important step in the preservation of these valuable audio materials and provides unprecedented access to the rich content that they contain. Funded in part by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

kept weekly journals, photographed their experiences, and gained a better understanding of the importance of museum work. Staff also provided internship opportunities for several college students. Baron Oda, a William S. Richardson School of Law student who is also enrolled in the University of Hawai‘i’s Museum Studies program, helped to draft policies, develop an intern handbook, and participated in the Polynesian Hall dis-mantle. Wendy Rose from Columbia University and Nicole Dela Fuente of the UH-Mānoa delved into conservation and collec-tion management tasks, while Ching Min Oh, also of the UH Museum Studies program, helped with mount-making work.

Donations to the Collection Among the new additions to the Museum’s Cultural Collections is a Hawaiian quilt made by Ester Ka Pua Wai Lau Charman. Possibly a century old, it is still in excellent condition. Other donations included a plantation cane knife from the 1890s, a plaited pandanus baby carrier from Yap, Hawaiian stone imple-ments, 1930s hula memorabilia, and Hawaiian items used in the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

Ongoing Department Activities Cultural Collections staff led 31 special focus tours, enabling 628 visitors access into the collections. The department also responded to 2,684 telephone inquiries and 1,555 mail inquires. The documentation and cataloging of artifacts is a crucial ongo-ing priority, and during FY 2011, 1,892 catalog records were created or significantly improved. Cultural Collections staff were also responsible for the ongoing environmental monitoring of all its storage rooms and the galleries in the Hawaiian Hall Complex, including light levels and pest management.

An heirloom quilt belonging to Ester Ka Pua Wai Lau Charman was one of the important new gifts received by the Museum this year.


Library & Archives Highlights

Bishop Museum Press completed five new publications and four reprints, including Mai Pa‘a I Ka Leo: Historical Voice in Primary Hawaiian Materials, Looking Forward and Listening Back by noted Hawaiian language scholar M. Puakea Nogelmeier. The first of three new publications supported by the Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program (NHCAP) in this fiscal year, Mai Pa‘a I Ka Leo examines the formation of the canon of Hawaiian source texts commonly referred to in Hawaiian history and cultural studies, and their relationship to the valuable yet largely untapped body of Hawaiian primary materials recorded in the Hawaiian language newspapers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Nogelmeier’s landmark work received Ka Palapala Po‘okela Awards of Excellence in Non-Fiction and Hawaiian Culture from the Hawai‘i Book Publishers Association in May of 2011.

Also receiving honors was the new illustrated storybook Legend of the Gourd, published under the Museum’s Kamahoi Press imprint. Adapted and illustrated by Caren Ke‘ala Loebel-Fried, the publication draws on resources from the Museum’s Library & Archives collections to tell the legendary origins of the people of the Kamā‘oa Plain on Hawai‘i Island. Loebel-Fried’s richly

rendered depiction of the love story between two ali‘i and the miracle that comes to pass after a tragic death was given Ka Palapala Po‘okela Awards of Excellence in Children’s Illustrative/ Photographic Books and Children’s Hawaiian Culture.

In May of 2011, Bishop Museum Press participated in the 6th annual Hawai‘i Book and Music Festival where it launched Kili and the Singing Tree Snails—a second illustrated storybook produced with NHCAP funding in the fiscal year. Author Janice Crowl was on-hand at the festival to read from the book and engage with attendees, who also had the opportunity to learn about Hawai‘i’s native land snails via specimens from the Museum’s malacology collection as well as participate in a host of activities related to the book.

Reprints of popular backlist publications in this fiscal year included Native Planters in Old Hawai‘i by E. S. Craighill Handy et al., Hawaiian and English Cross-Age Picture Vocabulary Book by Kawika Kapahulehua, Nā Mo‘olelo Lomilomi: The Traditions of Hawaiian Massage and Healing edited by R. Makana Risser-Chai, and Lā‘au Hawai‘i: Traditional Hawaiian Uses of Plants by Isabella Aiona Abbott.

Cataloging Japanese Language Publications Work on the multi-year effort to improve efficient access to Bishop Museum’s Japanese immigrant collection continued through this fiscal year. Overseen by Dr. Yosihiko Sinoto, over 550 Japanese texts, including many rare titles, were cataloged during the year. The new catalog records, which include versions of book titles in English and in Japanese characters, are also available through the University of Hawai‘i’s Voyager system. Funded by Hawaii Imin Shiryo Hozon Kai.

Rare Botanical Illustrations on ExhibitIn September, a new exhibition featuring rare 19th-century botanical illustrations collected by the late Donald Hibbard Angus opened in the Picture Gallery on the third floor of the Hawaiian Hall complex. The installation, a collaboration between the Museum’s Archives and Botany departments, also featured plant specimens from the extensive collection of the Herbarium Pacificum.

Digital Imaging CenterWith funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the department acquired a microscope imaging station which captures images of a specimen at different focal depths and merges them, resulting in a perfectly focused image of the spec-imen. An herbarium imaging station is being used to digitize the Herbarium Pacificum collections, focusing on Polyne-sian and Micronesian specimens. Our digitization efforts over

the past decade have resulted in the complete databasing of our Hawai‘i vascular plants and algal holdings (more than 260,000 specimens). The focus now is on databasing our remaining world collections (currently 23% complete) and generating high-resolu-tion images of all our specimens in order to make the collections available to scientific researchers and the public via the web. In Malacology, all records (numbering nearly 300,000) in the histor-ical handwritten catalog have been digitized, and are now being verified and databased, through the support of Hawai‘i Commu-nity Foundation–Jessie D. Kay Memorial Fund.

Development of the Papua New Guinea Species Information System (PNGSIS)Papua New Guinea has approximately 6% of the world’s biodiversity. This includes an estimated 30,000 species of vascular plants, more than 400 mammals, about 500 birds, 1,000–1,200 species of amphibians and reptiles, 3,200 species of fishes, and perhaps 300,000 species of insects and other invertebrates. About 75% of these organisms are endemic to PNG—that is, they occur nowhere else in the world. This will require a national biological survey that has two main components: 1) field surveys to document the occurrence and status of PNG’s biodiversity, and 2) information management to guide and inform efforts to sustainably manage and use this biodiversity. Funded by PNG Department of Environment and Conservation DEC.

Creation and Publication of Invertebrate Database and GIS Information ProjectThis project is for the design and development of a spatially-hierarchical, geo-referenced database for invertebrate species throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The relational database will contain biological, taxonomical, ecological, physical, geographical, and source data and will integrate available data from multiple existing databases. A translation and import process will simplify collection of outside invertebrate data collections. As a first step, the contractor will collect, translate, and import both online and offline digital insect collection data from Bishop Museum into the newly created invertebrate database, which will be housed at the State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). The database should be multi-user capable and be able to support a web-based, searchable product that is freely accessible to the public. Funded by DLNR/DOFAW.

BiSciCol Tracker: Tagging and Tracking Infrastructure for Biodiversity Science CollectionsThe BiSciCol collaborative represents a broadly trained team of biologists, collections curators, and information and technology specialists with a common vision of tracking and annotating information about the billions of specimens in natural history collections worldwide. Deliverables are designed to benefit the entire biological collections community of climate change. BiSciCol will actively engage use communities through training workshops, summer student internships, community BioBlitz enhancements, and a partnership with NESCENT on a Google Summer of Code challenge. Funded by NSF.

Creation and Publication of Estuarine Database and GIS InformationHawaiian estuaries are a poorly understood, yet vital link between the marine habitats and island streams systems. The State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and the Department of Aquatic Resources are undergoing a five-year effort to better understand the function and

importance of Hawaiian estuaries. This project seeks to create a compatible database for estuarine fisheries information to support management objectives and make data available to a wide range of interested people. Funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

NOAA-CRES Deep Coral Reef Exploration ProjectBishop Museum is the lead institution in a $1.4 million project to study coral-reef ecosystems at depths of 165–330 feet off the coast of Maui. The project uses deep-sea submersibles and other advanced technology to characterize the unexpectedly rich reef communities inhabiting these depths. Museum scientists have participated in deep dives and discovered dozens of new species never before seen. Funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the project is a collaboration between the Museum, the University of Hawai‘i, DLNR, and NOAA.

Wēkiu Bugs of Mauna KeaAs part of a continuing long-term study of the rare predatory wēkiu bug, found only at the Mauna Kea summit area, Bishop Museum received funds to monitor the wēkiu populations and to monitor for alien arthropod species that could threaten their survival. Bishop Museum scientists have been monitoring wēkiu bugs on Mauna Kea regularly since 1997, and information from the past 10+ years of monitoring is being compiled to help assess the health of the population on top of the highest mountain in the state. Funded by the Office of Mauna Kea Management.

Assessment of Marine Alien Invertebrate Species in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National MonumentOf the more than 400 species of marine alien species recorded in the Hawaiian Archipelago, only 13 are established in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM). Despite the fact that alien marine invertebrates have been recorded more often, less information concerning their abundance and distribution exists compared to alien algae and fish. Establishing such a monitoring effort in PMNM requires incremental efforts that will begin with new faunal surveys for marine alien species and the characterization of the abundance and distribution of established marine aliens. Current efforts represent the initial stage of establishing a baseline for inventory, abundance, and distribution of the established alien marine invertebrate species in PMNM. Funded by NOAA.

Kamiali Field Station, Papua New GuineaSince 2001, Bishop Museum has worked with traditional landowners of the Kamiali Wildlife Management Area on the north coast of Papua New Guinea (PNG) to develop a biological field station. This project protects 120,000 acres of rain forest and in-shore marine habitat, including rich coral reefs. Two automatic climate stations were installed and an environmental monitoring program was developed. Funded mainly through a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Pacific Basin Vascular Plant Checklist/Consortium of Pacific HerbariaIn response to an urgent need for a comprehensive database of plants of the Pacific region and with support from the National Science Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation, the Museum continues to work with federal agencies, colleagues from the Smithsonian, and elsewhere to develop a compre-hensive checklist of the flowering plants and ferns of tropical Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. The constantly updated checklist will be integral to the conservation of rare and threat-ened species and ecosystems, and provide information about the presence and introduction of invasive species throughout the Pacific Basin.

The Polynesia-Micronesia Hotspot (PMH) is a center of biodi-versity that harbors approximately 5,350 native vascular plant species, roughly 57% of which are endemic, and is home to at least 565 species of benthic marine algae. Much of this plant life is under threat from land conversion, invasive species, or global climate change. The proposed Consortium of Pacific Herbaria (CPH) will include 14 herbaria from Hawai‘i, American Samoa, Samoa, Guam, Fiji, Tonga, and the Republic of Palau. Its goals are to unify plant and algae biodiversity data and to preserve and integrate smaller herbaria with larger Pacific collection through the development of an integrated database of specimen collec-tions from the Pacific. Funded by NSF BRC.

Discovery and Inventory of Papua New Guinea’s Megadiverse FloraPapua New Guinea (PNG) is considered one of the most species-rich areas in the world, hosting about 6% of the world’s flora, and high levels of species endemism. Bishop Museum received funding to support botanical surveys in under-collected regions of PNG over a period of three years and is assembling teams of botanical experts from the Museum and other organizations throughout the world in partnership with the PNG Forest Research Institute. Funded by NSF.

Still Present Pasts: Korean Americans and the “Forgotten War” (June 26–September 12, 2010)Still Present Pasts was a multimedia exhibit that used art, video, history, and spoken word created by a young genera-tion of Korean American artists to explore the long shadow of the Korean War. The exhibit also featured oral narratives of Koreans who lived through the conflict. If Not Now When, a supplemental exhibit featuring local artwork on the themes of war and memory, provided a local connection to the theme of Still Present Pasts. The Honolulu appearance of Still Present Pasts was spearheaded by the non-profit Biographical Research Center, with financial support from the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities.

Creatures of the Abyss (September 29, 2010–January 9, 2011)Creatures of the Abyss explored the deepest parts of the earth’s oceans. The exhibit included full-scale models of sea creatures and their environments, preserved specimens, mechanical interactives, multimedia experiences, and large full-image graphic panels and maps.

Fighting for Democracy: Who is the “We” in “We the People”?(October 16, 2010–January 23, 2011) This exhibit was developed by the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, an educational program of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibit explored the World War II experiences of seven men and women of minority background. One of the seven people featured in the exhibit was Domingo Los Banos, a WWII veteran and resident of O‘ahu, who came to see Fighting for Democracy several times during its run, and led informal tours of the exhibit for students.

Dinosaurs Unearthed: Feathered Discoveries (March 5–September 5, 2011)Due to the popularity of Dinosaurs Unearthed in its fall 2009 run, the Museum brought back an expanded exhibit by the Vancouver-BC based company in 2011. The new exhibit still fea-tured the 27-foot moving and roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex on the

lawn, next to a full-sized, 26-foot-long Triceratops. In addition, a 60-foot-long Apatosaurus was installed near the Museum’s entrance. The exhibit also featured a mix of familiar dinosaurs and new finds, with a particular emphasis on featured dinosaurs.

MAMo Awards 2011: Hali‘a Ke ‘Ala—Fond Remembrances(April 17–May 23, 2011)Preceeding the entry into Hawaiian Hall is a changing exhibition space, the J. M. Long Gallery. Having undergone a renovation which included leveling the ceiling, putting in a new sprinkler system, and designing a flexible grid and wall system, the gal-lery was ready for its first installation of 2011 with the MAMo Awards exhibition, Hali‘a Ke ‘Ala.

For the first time in six years, the 2011 MAMo Award was presented posthumously to contemporary artist Hiko‘ula Hanapi. Hanapi was recognized not only for his artistry, but for the arts organizations he established and the thousands of students he educated and inspired. Accepting on his behalf was his uncle, Mike Hanapi, surrounded by those who continue to carry on Hiko’s mission of promoting and perpetuating Native Hawaiian arts. It seemed an especially fitting occasion, as April 17th marked the one-year anniversary of Hiko’s passing. During its four-month run, it was seen by more than 30,000 people. Funding for this exhibition was from the Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program, U.S. Department of the Interior.

Kūakino: The Changer and the Changed(May 3–June 4, 2011)For the last six years as part of Maoli Arts Month, Bishop Museum has coordinated a community exhibition at The ARTS at Marks Garage in Chinatown. The exhibition featured the works of a dozen Native Hawaiian contemporary artists as they explored the relationship between the artist, the artwork, and the observer. A focal point of the exhibition was the collective works of David Kalama, whose nine drawings of the Kū images were done over the course of 54 days spent in Hawaiian Hall. Other featured artists included Kahi Ching, Charlie Dickson, Joseph G. Hau‘oli Dowson, Sr., Solomon Enos, Bob Freitas, Imaikalani Kalahele, Kazu Kauinana, Meleanna Meyer, Harinani Orme, and Dalani Tanahy. The exhibition was open for two consecutive First Friday celebrations and was seen by more than 3,000 people. Funding for this exhibition was from the Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program, U.S. Department of the Interior.

2011 MAMo Awards


Throughout the fiscal year, Bishop Museum Education staff and volunteers delivered 12 presentations daily (except for Tuesdays, when the Museum is closed) to the general public. Total atten-dance for all Bishop Museum public programs in FY 2011 was approximately 240,000.

School Field TripsA total of 25,639 students came to Bishop Museum on field trips in FY 2011, representing a 6% increase over school attendance in the previous year. Of these students, 47.3% were from public schools, with 7,691 students from Title I schools (where at least 50% of the students are on a free or reduced lunch program). Thus, Title I attendance represents 63.3% of all public school attendance and 30% of school attendance overall.

42,935 students participated in educational programming at Bishop Museum during their field trips. This number is higher than overall field trip attendance because many students attended more than one program during their field trip. The breakdown by content area was as follows: Hawaiian Hall programs 15,791 Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center programs 6,223 Science on a Sphere programs 5,672 J. Watumull Planetarium programs 15,249 TOTAL: 42,935

There was a dramatic 44% increase in educational program participation from 29,831 in FY 2010 to 42,935 this year, with more students attending Hawaiian Hall programs (6,984 in FY 2010; 15,791 in FY 2011). This increase was due to new policies which enabled schools to book two or more programs for their visit, and that all school groups entering Hawaiian Hall went on structured docent tours to increase the educational effectiveness of their visit. The planetarium was also a strong draw, with more than half of all students on field trips attending planetarium programs—including 6,056 for the Polynesian navigation program, “The Explorers.” The school field trip program was underwritten by grants from the Bank of Hawai‘i Foundation and Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation.

J. Watumull PlanetariumThe J. Watumull Planetarium remained a popular destination with a total attendance of 70,000 visitors, including 15,000 students on field trips. On December 20, 2010, the Museum hosted a viewing event for the total lunar eclipse. Despite bad weather, over 400 people attended, and the Museum also ran a webcast from the East Coast and offered planetarium programs on the eclipse. Members of the Hawaiian Astronomical Society were on hand with their telescopes. In January of 2011, a new planetarium program, “Tropical Skies,” debuted. “Tropical

Skies” explores the changes of the seasons in Hawai‘i and the unique tropical phenomenon of Lāhaina Noon, when the sun passes exactly overhead.

At the end of the fiscal year, Bishop Museum received $1.5 million in funds from the State of Hawai‘i Capital Improve-ment Program to support major renovations to the J. Watumull Planetarium. These funds will enable the planetarium to step into the 21st century, moving to a hybrid system in which a state-of-the-art star machine will work in tandem with an all-dome video system to provide a full astronomy educational experience. Audiences will feel like they are flying through the rings of Saturn or diving into the depths of the ocean. Bishop Museum’s new system will also include the latest star projector, which will provide a crisper, more realistic recreation of the night sky, as well as a new seamless interior dome to replace the well-worn 1961 dome. Seating, carpet, lighting, and the sound system will also be replaced and upgraded.

Sleepover Program2,175 students and families attended sleepover programs at the Museum. During these sleepovers, the school or group has the Museum to itself, and the students sleep on-site in the Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center.

School Intercession School intercession programs, in partnership with Kama‘āina Kids, were presented to 725 out-of-school students during the year.

Outreach to the SchoolsIn addition to on-site field trips, Bishop Museum continued to take science and cultural outreach programs to the schools. 18,461 students attended Bishop Museum programming across the islands (compared to 18,284 the previous year). Of these,

Cultural educator Bill Marston presents for a group of students in Hawaiian Hall.


Education Program Highlights

15,357 participated in Holoholo Science programs and 3,104 participated in Ola Nā Mo‘olelo cultural storytelling programs. While the outreach program is a state-wide, there was a strong presence on the neighbor islands, especially with Holoholo Science. 44%, or 6,786 of the 15,371 students served by Holoholo Science this year were from the neighbor islands.

Kaua‘i 2,690Moloka‘i 496Hawai‘i 1,253Lana‘i 457Maui 1,890O‘ahu 8,585 Total: 15,371

In addition to support from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE), Holoholo Science was supported in this fiscal year by the Hawai‘i Community Foundation, HMSA, and others. Ola Nā Mo‘olelo’s cultural outreach was funded by the U.S. DOE.

Education Docent ProgramsA key step forward in the Museum’s ability to best serve its vis-itors was the debut of docents recruited and trained specifically for the newly-renovated Hawaiian Hall. By the end of 2011, five separate teams or “cohorts” (60+ docents in all) were formed. The docents provide programming in Hawaiian Hall for both general public and for students. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

The Amy B. H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden has grown into a unique cultural and biological treasure for the people of Hawai‘i. In this garden, plants from the rare and beauti-ful native forests that once covered the slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualālai grow along side fields of the crops that traveled to Hawai‘i with the Polynesian across the Pacific by canoe. The landscape is framed by a network of ancient stone ridges, archaeological remnants of the Kona Field System that underlie over half of the Garden grounds.

This fiscal year, over 13,500 people visited the Garden, including over 2,000 school children. The Garden reached another 1,800 people through its outreach programs on traditional Hawai-ian horticulture and native plants. 500 people took workshops in Hawaiian cultural arts like weaving, kapa making, stone tool making, and taro cultivation, and 1,200 people attended the 7th Annual Grow Hawaiian Festival in February. With a spe-cial focus on weaving, the Festival drew many of the best known weavers from all over the state to share their experiences and wisdom with the public.

The single standout accomplishment of 2011 has been the prog-ress on the new entrance and visitor center. This $1 million building project was conceived in 1990. Amy Greenwell’s family donated the land for the building in 2000, and state funding for the new building was secured in 2006. After a number of permit-ting and zoning hurdles were overcome, ground was broken in late summer of 2010. By mid-year 2011, the roof of the new build-ing was on, the walls were ready for drywall and painting, and the driveway was graded and ready for asphalt. This new cen-ter will allow the Garden to fulfill its potential as an anchor for the neighborhood of Captain Cook, attracting visitors and invit-ing them to spend time in the rural community as they gain an appreciation for the cultural and natural environment of Kona.

Support for the Garden comes from private foundations like the Kūki‘o Community Foundation of the Hawai‘i Community Foundations that supports the after-school youth agriculture program; from private donors (over $20,000 was donated to the Garden by private donors, mostly in small gifts of under $100 each), plant sales and sales of merchandise through the Garden store, from in-kind gifts of service by individuals (3,700 hours of volunteer service were contributed by individuals during FY 2011), and from groups like Hawai‘i Youth Conservation Corps, which brings a dozen young, energetic workers to help clean, plant, and maintain the Garden landscape for a week or two at a time. Even corporations like Hawai‘i Forest and Trail pitch in. This year they transported visitors to our festivals and took our youth group on guided field trips.

The Garden has also benefited from grants from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority. Fed-eral support came from the Education through Cultural and

The Amy B. H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden’s new visitor center.

ECHO Festival of Performing ArtsThe 11th annual Mary Kawena Pukui Storytelling Festival was held at Bishop Museum on February 13, 2011. The center-piece of this festival was a 40-minute performance piece entitled “Celebrate: Song, Dance and Story of the Heart.” Created and performed by singers, dancers, and actors from Alaska, Massa-chusetts, Mississippi, and Hawai‘i, the piece was produced by Tau Dance Theater and funded through the Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations (ECHO) Project, a part-nership of the Bishop Museum, Alaska Native Heritage Center, New Bedford ECHO Project, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indi-ans, North Slope Borough (Barrow, AK), and Peabody Essex Museum.

Special Programs/Community Event Highlights

Historical Organization program (ECHO, U.S. Department of Education), and the Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Pro-gram (NHCAP, U.S. Department of the Interior). While state grants will still play an important part in Garden funding in the coming years, federal earmark support has largely ended. This, combined with the opening of the new visitor center, will mark a new stage in the development of the Garden. The Garden will shift from a requested donation to an admission charge, and there will be special membership categories for Garden support-ers. Shop sales will be boosted by a new shop in the visitor center, and plant sales will rise with the rising visibility of the Garden in the community. The new facility offers opportunities for facility rentals like evening parties and weddings.

To get involved in the new chapter in the story of this unique botanical garden, come for a visit, buy a plant, volunteer some hours, spread the word. There are more than plants growing at the Garden and the Bishop Museum community is invited to take part.

An important aspect of this project is that it goes into the class-room—2,361 students on the islands of O‘ahu and Hawai‘i saw the performance. However, it also toured nation-wide to all of the other regions of the ECHO partnership. Overall, “Celebrate: Song, Dance and Story of the Heart” reached 11,285 people in Hawai‘i, Alaska, Mississippi, and Massachusetts. Observed senior cultural educator Lokomaika‘i Lipscomb, who participated in the produc-tion, “As performers on the ECHO tour, we are representatives of our institutions, our cultural communities, and our ancestors, but most of the tour members are also parents. The work of the Per-forming Arts Festival reaches beyond institutions and isolated individuals. Our true work is shaping self-perception, shifting the dynamics of relationships, and supporting the families that are the beating heart of any community.”

Native Hawaiian Arts MarketThe 6th annual Native Hawaiian Arts Market and Keiki Arts Festival was held on May 21–22, 2011, at Bishop Museum. A focal point of the Maoli Arts Month (MAMo) celebration, the Market enabled 31 Native Hawaiian contemporary artists and cultural practitioners to display, demonstrate, and sell their works. Participating artists included: Bernice Akamine, Kawai Aona Ueoka, Maile Andrade, Roy Bentam, Mealaaloha Bishop, Erin Malie Boll, Sonny Ching, Lani Chun, Joe Dowson, Sr., Bob Freitas, Keala Inciong, Momi Greene, Tara Gumapac, Paulette Kahalepuna, Leina‘ala Kai, ‘Umi Kai, Wendy Kamai, George Kaiwi, Ku‘uipo Kalahiki-Morales, Rebekah Luke, Keith Maile, Manny Mattos, Maile Luuwai, Lufi Luteru, Lorna Pacheco, Dexter Soares, Kaha Toledo, Audrey Wagner, Kim Weaver, Shannon Weaver, and Kunane Wooton. Over 1,700 people attended the event and generated more than $10,000 in sales.

13th Annual Bernice Pauahi Bishop Awards DinnerOn July 30, 2011, guests gathered at Bishop Museum for the 13th Annual Bernice Pauahi Bishop Awards Dinner. Led by event co-chairmen Donald G. Horner and Robert A. Alm, the event raised over $436,000 to support Bishop Museum’s many programs. Governor Neil Abercrombie and S. Haunani Apoliona, Trustee of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, were presented with the Museum’s highest honors: the Charles Reed Bishop Medal, and the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Award. Guests enjoyed exquisite cuisine from Hawai‘i’s top chefs, bid on a wonderful selection of original contemporary Native Hawaiian art, and were treated to the timeless harmonies of Olomana.

Charles Reed Bishop Medal – The Honorable Neil AbercrombieAs a senior member on the Natural Resources Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, Abercrombie worked to protect our national parks, forests, wilder-ness areas, oceans, natural resources, and the interests of indigenous peoples of our nation, and has helped

secure billions of dollars for Hawai‘i in sectors from high-tech to health and education. Throughout his Congressional career, he has worked to both sponsor and defend legislation that has helped to sustain Hawai‘i’s native culture and ultimately ben-efit all who are beneficiaries of it, including but not limited to: the Native Hawaiian Homeownership Opportunity Act, fed-eral support for Native Hawaiian education and healthcare for Kalaupapa residents, the protection of Makua Valley from mil-itary training, the remediation and return of Kaho‘olawe to the people of Hawai‘i, and the Kalaupapa Memorial Act to help establish a memorial to honor those who were forcibly relocated to Kalaupapa.

Bernice Pauahi Bishop Award – S. Haunani Apoliona, MSWFor more than 30 years, Haunani Apoliona has dedicated her life to working with and on behalf of the Native Hawaiian commu-nity. She is now in her 13th year as Trustee of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), where she has served in various leadership positions includ-ing Chairman from 2000-2010. She served the Native Hawaiian community statewide for 19 years at ALU LIKE, Inc. and con-tinues to serve through a variety of civic activities as well as through her music. Apoliona has served on nearly three dozen non-profit boards, committees and commissions, including the Bishop Museum, the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islanders, Queen Lili‘uokalani Children’s Center Advisory Board, Queen Emma Foundation, and The Nature Conservancy. Apoliona is also an award-winning slack-key guitarist and composer who has been performing with the group Olomana since 1982.

Traditions of the PacificTraditions of the Pacific is a highly successful cultural program series spearheaded by the Bishop Museum Advisory Committee as a way of enhancing our membership offerings.

Institutional Development Highlights

2010 ASTC ConferenceFrom October 2–5, 2010, Bishop Museum hosted the annual Association of Science–Technology Centers (ASTC) conference. The term “science center” refers to museums that interpret the concepts of science through hands-on, interactive experiences. The science center phenomenon has spread around the world since the first science centers appeared in the 1960s. Bishop Museum joined the ranks of science centers when the Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center opened in the fall of 2005. That opening made Bishop Museum eligible to be selected as the host for the 2010 conference, which was the first time that

the annual ASTC conference occurred off of continental North America. The ASTC conference brought 1,000 science center professionals to Honolulu, and was a great opportunity to share the Museum with staff from around the globe and for our people to share ideas and “best practices” with those guests. The theme of the conference was “Ho‘okele: To Navigate,” and used Polynesian navigation as a metaphor for our own challenges and accomplishments in navigating the museum field circa 2010. Appropriately, navigator Nainoa Thompson gave the keynote address.

Hawaiian Tattooing Traditions (July 29 & August 7, 2010)Respected cultural practitioner and one of Hawai‘i’s foremost revivalists of kākau, or Native Hawaiian tattooing, Keone Nunes spoke about the history, intricacies, and evolution of this traditional art form. An additional workshop demonstrated the process of deciding on and creating a traditional Hawaiian tattoo. Attendees also learned how to distinguish characteristics of traditional Hawaiian tattoos, as well as genealogical and non-genealogical designs.

Hula Ki‘i: The Art of Puppetry in Storytelling (October 7 & 10, 2010)Kumu John Kapono‘aikaulikeikeao Molitau of Hula Halau Nā Hanona Kūlike‘o Pi‘ilani presented a lecture on the history of hula ki‘i, covering traditional aspects of hula ki‘i during the reign of Kamehameha III. Attendees learned how images were created using a variety of natural materials, including wood and coconut, and were treated to a hula ki‘i performance, Kapunahou, which tells the story of Mukaka and Healoha who search of water beside their Mānoa home. Participants of the workshop created and decorated their own ki‘i, learned about the traditional movements and gestures of the images, and put on a small play.

Hula and the Natural World (December 11, 2010)Samuel M. ‘Ohukani‘ōhia Gon III, a senior scientist and cultural advisor for the Hawai‘i Nature Conservancy, led a lecture and discussion on hula as an art form and an expression of the relationship of Hawaiians to their natural surroundings and to each other. Gon discussed the symbolism of adornments and implements utilized in hula, as well as their spiritual underpinnings in Hawai‘i’s ecosystem.

Native Hawaiian Traditional Healing Practices (February 24 & 26, 2011)Babette Galang, Complementary Health Officer at Papa Ola Lokahi, explored the three most common practices in con-temporary times: la‘au lapa‘au (healing spiritually with herbs and plants), lomilomi (healing spiritually with massage), and ho‘oponopono (healing spiritually a broken relationship and/or conflict within the ‘ohana). Momi Fernandez and Roddy Akau shared plants and other materials with workshop attendees, and provided a demonstration of la‘au preparation for medicinal purposes. A discussion on protocols and the physical, mental, and spiritual preparations required of both the practitioner and patient followed.

Ho‘oponopono & Healing Practices Associated with Hawaiian Heiau (March 10 & April 16, 2011)Kūpuna advisors and cultural practitioners Richard and Lynette Paglinawan led an in-depth exploration of ho‘oponopono, a traditional healing practice that focuses on mental cleansing and family conferences where relationships are set right through prayer, discussion, and forgiveness. This lecture was followed by a fieldtrip to Keaiwa Heiau State Recreational Park where kumu

hula Vicky Holt Takamine, whose hālau Pua Ali‘i ‘Ilima helps to maintain this sacred site, spoke about the physical features of the site, which is associated with Native Hawaiian healing practices.

Lomilomi (April 16, 2011)A panel of cultural practitioners shared about their training and use of lomilomi, the Native Hawaiian traditional healing practice which combines spirituality with specific massage techniques and other types of physical manipulation. Participants were treated to demonstrations after the lecture.

Native Hawaiian Healing Practices as Described in “The Epic Tale of Hi‘iakaikapoliopele” (May 12, 2011)Kekuhi Kanahele of Hālau O Kekuhi, presented a lecture on several of Hi‘iaka’s healing activities within the famous Hi‘iakaikapoliopele story, which was originally published in the Hawaiian language newspaper Ka Na‘i Aupuni in 1906. Participants examined the Hi‘iaka-Pele-Lohi‘au love triangle story and learned how Hi‘iaka called upon her healing powers to help many people along her arduous journey from Hawai‘i island to Kaua‘i to fetch Pele’s lover, Lohi‘au.

The Cultural Symbolism & Creativity in Crafting Lei (June 16 & 18, 2011)Respected cultural practitioner Richard K. Paglinawan gave a lecture on the cultural significance and symbolism embedded within the creation and adornment of lei, as well as traditional protocols for their appropriate use. Attendees were also treated to performances of mele (song) and oli (chant) that related to various lei and adornment, and were provided a brief glimpse into the kaona or hidden meanings of these compositions.A workshop, led by Pā Ku‘i A Lua, showed multiple lei making techniques—including those for the grand pa‘u riders, and enabled attendees to make their own lei out of various natural materials.

TOTP guests participated in a family friendly hula ki‘i workshop with Kumu Hula John Kapono‘aikaulikekeao Molitau, and learned about traditional mele and hula. Each guest took home their own ki‘i made with natural materials gathered from the islands of Hawai‘i.
