Dr. Corley will speak on Kamehameha III’s international relations strategies. What sets her analysis of Kauikeaouli’s actions apart from others is her use of his own words, in his own language, contained in his own administrative documents. Those records show that his political actions were deliberate, well-reasoned, and relied on his broad understanding of western politics and commerce. Far from being the ineffectual leader as he is so often portrayed, Kauikeaouli emerges as a superb political strategist who succeeded in keeping his kingdom independent during very perilous times.

J. Susan Corley, PhD, was born and raised in Koʻolaupoko, Oʻahu and holds a doctoral degree in history from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Her scholarly emphasis is in Hawaiian history, and she has researched extensively in Hawaiian-and English-language newspapers, letters, manuscript collections, and kingdom governance documents contemporary to the period 1820-1860. In this book, Susan’s research about Kauikeaouli’s campaign to maintain sovereign control demonstrates that he deliberately molded the kingdom’s responses to political changes in ways that suited Hawaiians’ own cultural and governance needs. She has also published several articles about Kamehameha II.

This Christmas season Christmas in Hawaii author Chris Cook will present an illustrated Archives and Inquiry talk on Hawai‘i’s historic Christmas celebrations. Though Christmas only became an official Kingdom of Hawai‘i holiday in 1862, declared by Kamehameha IV, the December 25th holiday has a rich history in Hawai‘i dating back to sea captains Portlock and Dixon exchanging gifts with the ali‘i at Waimea, Kaua‘i in 1785. Kamehameha IV’s gesture resulted in Hawai‘i Christmas celebrations becoming grander and grander events in Hawai‘i’s Victorian Era.
