The University

The culturally-grounded “Hula Empowering Lifestyle Adaptation (HELA) Study: Benefits of Dancing Hula for Cardiac Rehabilitation,” developed a cardiac rehabilitation program based on learning hula. Classes were taught by esteemed Kumu Hula Māpuana de Silva of Hālau Mōhala ʻIlima. Afterward the completion of the study, the Kumu reflected on important lessons learned, possible directions forward, ways to use the values of hula and Native Hawaiian culture to promote better health, and, of particular significance, key ways to preserve cultural integrity when using hula to treat chronic disease or as an exercise activity. Here she shares her thoughts in a conversation with members of the University of Hawai‘i’s Department of Native Hawaiian Health of the John A. Burns School of Medicine.

This book explores the performance, reception, transmission, and adaptation of Hawaiian music on board ships and in the islands, revealing the ways both maritime commerce and imperial confrontation facilitated the circulation of popular music in the nineteenth century. The book shows how Hawaiians initially used music and dance to ease tensions with, and spread information about, potentially dangerous foreigners, and then traces the circulation of Hawaiian song and dance worldwide as Hawaiians served aboard American and European ships. Drawing on journals and ships' logs, the book highlights the profound contrasts between Hawaiians' treatment by fellow sailors who appreciated their seamanship and music, versus antagonistic American missionaries determined to keep Hawaiians on local sugar plantations, and looks at how Hawaiians achieved their own ends by capitalizing on Americans' conflicting expectations and fraught discourse around hula and other musical practices. It also examines American minstrelsy in Hawaii, including professional touring minstrel troupes from the mainland, amateur troupes consisting of crew members of visiting ships, and local indigenous troupes of Hawaiian minstrels. In the process he illuminates how a merging of indigenous and foreign elements became the new sound of native Hawaiian culture at the turn of the twentieth century—and made loping rhythms, falsetto yodels, and driving ukuleles indelible parts of American popular music.

The Relationship

This chapter illustrates how the relationship between sailors and Hawaiians helped to foster the new sound of Native Hawaiian culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hawaii's last king, David Kalākaua, was influenced by sailors' songs and minstrelsy, and his maritime adventures contributed to his policy of promoting indigenous Hawaiian music. The chapter also examines the works of the early hapa haole songwriter Joseph K. A'ea, a close friend of Queen Lili'uokalani and member of the Royal Hawaiian Band, who based at least one of his earliest popular songs on the lyrical, rhythmic, and melodic characteristics of the nineteenth-century sea chantey.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the representation of Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) Hula Dance in traditional systems of representation and organization. Design/methodology/approach This exploratory study analyzes the controlled and natural language vocabularies employed for the representation and organization of Hawaiian culture, in particular Hawaiian hula. The most widely accepted and used systems were examined: classification systems (Library of Congress Classification and Dewey Decimal Classification), subject heading systems (Library of Congress Subject Headings and authority files (Library of Congress and OCLC Authority Files), and citation indexing systems (Web of Science Social Sciences and Art and Humanities databases). Findings Analysis of various tools of representation and organization revealed biases and diasporization in depictions of Hawaiian culture. The study emphasizes the need to acknowledge the aesthetic perspective of indigenous people in their organization and presentation of their own cultural knowledge and advocates a decolonizing methodology to promote alternative information structures in indigenous communities. Originality/value This study contributes to the relatively limited scholarship on representation and organization for indigenous knowledge organization systems, in particular Hawaiian culture. Research suggests that access to Native Hawaiian cultural heritage will raise awareness among information professionals in Hawai’i to the beauty of Native Hawaiian epistemology.

Objective: The Native Hawaiian population experiences numerous disparities in health and income. Using a mixed-method research (MMR) design, we summarize findings from three phases of an MMR approach used to uncover kūpuna (elder) long-term service and support (LTSS) needs and care preferences. Methods: Key informants in Hawaiian health were interviewed, secondary analyses of large state data sets were conducted, and kūpuna and “ohana (family) caregivers were engaged in listening sessions. Results: Quantitative data confirmed numerous health disparities experienced by older Native Hawaiians, whereas qualitative data exposed their limited knowledge of this poor health profile and revealed their historical and contemporary experiences with discrimination in education, employment, and health care. Hawaiian culture was identified as a continued source of resilience in support of elders and family caregiving regardless of geographic setting. Discussion: We suggest three practice, policy, and research directions that offer the potential to respond to and improve kūpuna health and service use.

Abstract Background Forty-two percent of high school teens in Hawai'i have tried e-cigarettes, double the United States' national average. Native Hawaiians have higher use than other racial/ethnic groups. While Hawai'i state law prohibits tobacco sales to anyone under 21, many Hawai'i adolescents purchase e-cigarettes on the internet, often through social media. Methods We collected 717 public Instagram posts from April and December 2018 geotagged in Hawai'i that mentioned one or more hashtag search terms (e.g., #vape, #ecig). All relevant, working posts (n = 476) were manually coded for text and image characteristics. Results Over 80% of posts were from vape shops (n = 389 of 476;81.7%). Caption text commonly mentioned brand names (n = 409;85.9%), vape shop names (n = 379;79.6%), and flavors (n = 103;21.6%). The most frequent image elements were logos (n = 395;82.7%), e-cigarettes (n = 324;68.1%), and flavors (n = 110;23.1%). Less than one in 50 (n = 9;1.8%) included caption text warnings. One in five posts (n = 94,19.7%%) featured content specific to Hawai'i including references to Native Hawaiian culture, flavors and foods, scenery, plants, animals, and language. For example, “Hawai'i Nei...Stay Blessed n Vape With Aloha” or “Ma'o Hau Hele” is the state flower of Hawaii, combined with a refreshing sweet raspberry it makes the perfect balance of flavor.” User engagement (i.e., likes) varied, with a median of 17 likes per post (range: 0-308). Posts with Hawaiian cultural elements received significantly more likes than other posts (median: 22 versus 16;p=0.0047). Conclusions Culture is a critical strength that can support positive health outcomes in many communities. Vape shops and product promoters explicitly misappropriated Native Hawaiian culture to sell e-cigarettes on Instagram, while downplaying known harms. Adolescents and young adults may be particularly vulnerable given social media's role as a powerful health behavior influence and an e-cigarette purchasing source. Key messages Health misinformation is contextualized within culture and place in a way that is compelling to users, may put youth at particular risk, and can perpetuate health disparities. Our study supports tailored health campaigns and interventions for local communities and cultures to combat such online misinformation.
