The Duvauchelle family of Molokaʻi has a complex history, punctuated with admirable deeds as well as tragic accidents and decisions. Established by a French national and a Native Hawaiian in the 1860s, this branch of the Duvauchelles had five children.

Learn more about the Duvauchelle family story and living legacy in our new, original exhibition, “(Re)Generations,” on view now through October 24, 2021.

“(Re)Generations” is a reflective exploration of Bishop Museum’s scientific, educational, and moral responsibilities in the 21st century. Bishop Museum, like other historic institutions, participated for decades in activities that would now be considered unacceptable. Here we uncover the troubled history of the Sullivan Collection, with origins rooted in race science and embedded in eugenics. We also acknowledge its transformation into one of the Museum’s primary sources for genealogical research, and a vehicle for rediscovering ancestors and genealogical connections.

The people depicted in this exhibit were primarily selected through collaboration with their living descendants. By sharing information about their lives and legacies—meaningful histories ignored by Louis R. Sullivan—we celebrate the reappropriation of ancestral presence by Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) descendants.

Image sharing on social media is welcome, however out of respect for those pictured and their living descendants we do ask that you share not only their images but their names and stories as well. For all other uses please contact [email protected].

This just in from our J. Watumull Planetarium: And they stuck the landing! 10/10! Yesterday, February 18th at 10:55 a.m. HST, NASA confirmed that the Perseverance Mars Rover successfully and safely landed on the surface of Mars. Located at the Jezero Crater, Perseverance’s primary mission is to seek signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock and soil that will someday be collected and returned to Earth. These images are the first sent back and released to the public by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Howard Hawila and Alice Wentworth Kaleohano were the parents of 15 children. They unfortunately lost four of their daughters while still infants: Kaiapa Kaleohano (1909–1911), Koleka Kaleohano (1910–1912), Mary Kaleohano (1916–1917), and Rose Kaleohano (1920). Howard Hawila passed away on March 12, 1921. Their 11 remaining children went on to have children of their own resulting in a continuing legacy of 78 grandchildren and 283 great-grandchildren.

Learn more about the Kaleohano family story and living legacy in our new, original exhibition, “(Re)Generations: Challenging Scientific Racism in Hawaiʻi,” on view February 20 to October 24, 2021: https://www.bishopmuseum.org/regenerations.

British explorer Captain James Cook met his demise at Kaʻawaloa, near Kealakekua Bay, Hawaiʻi on February 14, 1779. By the time of Cook’s death, he already achieved legendary status in his native England for his lengthy explorations of the Pacific Ocean. Sensationalized accounts of his death, based on Western viewpoints, have spread far and wide, often resulting in the glorification of a beloved hero who died at the hands of “uncivilized natives.”

With a lack of unbiased first-hand accounts, much has been speculated about the events surrounding his death. It is commonly now understood that Captain Cook attempted to hold Kalaniʻōpuʻu, an aliʻi nui of Hawaiʻi Island hostage in exchange for a stolen boat. In an attempt to stop the abduction, Cook and his men were confronted, resulting in injuries and deaths on both sides.

02/13/2021

Feb. 12, 1874 -- A Royal Election was held on February 12, 1874 following the death of King William Charles Lunalilo on the 3rd of that month. Lunalilo had passed away childless, unmarried, and without naming a successor. According to Article 22 of the Constitution of 1864, if such a vacancy should occur, the Legislative Assembly would be called to hold a ballot election and name an aliʻi of the kingdom to succeed the throne. Three candidates were put forth: David Kalākaua, the Dowager Queen Emma, and Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Pauahi had previously declined the throne prior to the death of Kamehameha V in 1872, and again she urged against her consideration in this election.

A heated race ensued, fueled by sociopolitical and genealogical divisions. Queen Emma, widow of Kamehameha IV, was said to have been the late King’s favorite choice and the popular choice among the Hawaiian people. Kalākaua was favored in the legislature and was elected by a margin of 39 to 6.

Unhappy with these results, a large group of Queen Emma’s supporters made their disapproval known. Ascending on the Honolulu Courthouse, they targeted Kalākaua’s legislative supporters. Many were injured, including 13 legislators who voted for Kalākaua. One later died from his injuries. Unable to quell the mob due to the lack of a Kingdom army or sufficient police force, aid from American and British military forces that were currently docked in the harbor was requested. In an effort to solidify the throne and quiet any disapproval, Kalākaua took the oath the following day.

Wilder collected and assembled the ballots and presented them to King Kalākaua, the winner, on March 14, 1874. The arrangement of ballots, with those cast for Kalākaua in the shape of a crown, and the six ballots cast for Dowager Queen Emma below at right and left, was originally encased in a frame of Hawaiian woods—koa, kou, and sandalwood; Hawaiʻi.

My Grandmother Alice Carr de Creeft did the sculpture of David and his dog, who I guess liked to surf as well! I was wondering if anyone has any idea as to what happened to the sculpture?
I'd like to try to identify a lizard/gecko that comes out every afternoon onto my lanai (between 2-4 p.m.). It's body is about 5 inches, the tail another 5, from my perspective. It is gray. No distinguishinging markings anywhere I can see. However, today, for the first time (it must feel comfortable on my lanai), it showed a large red, outlined with yellow maybe, throat "comb" that it expanded at will. I have photos of it sitting still, but was unable to get a video of the throat comb. Any idea how I can figure out what it is? By the way, my house has LOTS of geckos. We have to clean up after them ALOT. Thanks in advance.
Hi there! Very curious about the Kāneikokala statue that "refuses" to be moved. Is there any more information on it beyond what's on the placard?

Was the Moai monolith it the courtyard at the Bishop museum a replica or the real deal? What happened to it?
Beautiful day at Bishop Museum ❤
Today is my 7th Anniversary and one thing I like to do on special days is to see the historical events that happen on that day. I came across this and thought it was interesting 😊
Aloha! Yesterday I watched the full exhibit in Cascais, Portugal about their former ambassador visiting Japan where THEY called the Portugese for "barbarians". I thought that was interesting since the native Hawaiians were called the same by white visitors!
Aloha! Do you know if Princess Ka'iulani went to Portugal and stayed here too, besides to Britain? If so, when and where, and are there any notes about it that I could read in English?
Aloha! This conflict over building the telescope on Big Island, has been going on for a long time. Can you please point me to a source of reference about how it started and why the builders keep insisting when so many protest - why there?
