Kū’ē Petitions: Early Hawaiian Opposition to Annexation
October 10, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
On Monday, October 10, historian Boyd D. Bond will discuss “Kū’ē Petitions, early Hawaiian opposition to annexation”.
Each hour long presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Boyd Bond’s knowledge of Hawai'i’s history stems from his academic studies and from a lifetime spent in Hawaii as a 6th generation descendent of early western settlers in Hawaii. Boyd was raised in Hawai'i in a sugar plantation family, living on plantations throughout the state.
Of his interest in Hawaiian history, Bond says, “I can’t ever remember a time when I wasn’t immersed in it. Many of the stories of Hawai'i’s history are also our family stories.” Bond earned a BA in Hawaiian history from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and went on to earn a masters degree in education.
