Dear Friends,
F
or 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 responsibilities 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 understanding 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,

Jarvis Moon
U nder 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,
“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.”

International Film Festival premiere of Under a Jarvis Moon.
2 | Bishop Museum 2011 Annual Report
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.

he Cultural Resources Division encompasses collections
and research programs that preserve and document the
cultures of Hawai‘i and the Pacific, including Anthropology, 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 knowledge 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 publishing 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 commitment to the publication of scholarly work on Hawai‘i and the
Pacific while continuing to develop new materials for diverse
communities of Hawai‘i.
Anthropology Highlights
Field Research in China
Dr. 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 Province. 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 archaeological 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.

archaeological information in order to stimulate interest in the
study of Hawai‘i’s past, and to increase understanding regarding 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.
Dr. Yosihiko Sinoto gives a talk about his experiences in Maupiti in 1962 to anthropology interns
and staff members.
Field Research in East Polynesia
Associate 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, humaninduced 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 Conferences
Numerous 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 Care
The Anthropology Department is continuing efforts at digitizing the Hawaiian archaeological collection with support from
an NHCAP grant and an Office of Hawaiian Affairs partnership. The goal of the Hawaiian Archaeological Data Survey
Project (HAS) is to increase the public’s access to Hawaiian
Along with additions to the HAS database, the Anthropology
Department has also been busy training staff, interns, and volunteers on collections care and archival storage practices. Two
part-time employees have taken on the primary responsibility 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 methods. 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 Schools
Anthropology 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.

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 Exhibitions
Anthropology staff have been actively involved in the Polynesian 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 community 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 successfully brought Bishop Museum to a wide range of Chinese
audiences.
Cultural Collections Highlights
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 Project
In 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.
Officers and administration of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum and Bishop Museum cut the
ceremonial ribbon to open The Splendor of Hawai‘i and Polynesia at its second venue in China.
Planning for a New Exhibition, Tradition and Transition
Cultural 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.
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 dismantle. Wendy Rose from Columbia University and Nicole Dela
Fuente of the UH-Mānoa delved into conservation and collection management tasks, while Ching Min Oh, also of the UH
Museum Studies program, helped with mount-making work.
An heirloom quilt belonging to Ester Ka Pua Wai Lau Charman was one of the important
new gifts received by the Museum this year.
Dismantling of Polynesian Hall
In April, Cultural Collections staff met the challenge of dismantling 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 September through April, two high school students from Assets
School, Alika Philpotts and Kelsey Buss, worked with staff members doing a range of collection management tasks. The students
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 implements, 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 ongoing 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.
Library & Archives Highlights
Digitization of the Museum’s Audio Collection
Archives 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.
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 Exhibit
In 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.
Bishop Museum Press 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 RisserChai, and Lā‘au Hawai‘i: Traditional Hawaiian Uses of Plants by
Isabella Aiona Abbott.

is conducted under the auspices of the Hawaii Biological Survey
(HBS), a comprehensive effort designated by state legislation to
advance knowledge and understanding of plants and animals
within Hawai‘i’s political boundaries. Similar work elsewhere in
the Pacific region is carried out under the auspices of the Pacific
Biological Survey (PBS). During FY 2011, Museum scientists and
resident research affiliates initiated or continued more than 70
major projects, published over 90 technical papers and books,
and answered thousands of queries from the public.
Natural Science Highlights
Digital Imaging Center
With 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 specimen. An herbarium imaging station is being used to digitize
the Herbarium Pacificum collections, focusing on Polynesian 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-resolution 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 historical handwritten catalog have been digitized, and are now being
verified and databased, through the support of Hawai‘i Community 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 Project
This project is for the design and development of a spatiallyhierarchical, 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 multiuser 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 Collections
The 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.

NOAA-CRES Deep Coral Reef Exploration Project
Bishop 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 Kea
As 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.

The marine alien species team returns from conducting shallow subtidal and intertidal surveys for
marine alien species within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, inventorying
non-native marine invertebrates.
Assessment of Marine Alien Invertebrate Species in the
Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument
Of 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.
Pacific Basin Vascular Plant Checklist/Consortium of
Pacific Herbaria
In 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 comprehensive 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 threatened 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 biodiversity 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 collections from the Pacific. Funded by NSF BRC.
Discovery and Inventory of Papua New Guinea’s
Megadiverse Flora
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is considered one of the most speciesrich 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.
Kamiali Field Station, Papua New Guinea
Since 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

Exhibit Highlights
This fiscal year saw a diversity of exhibitions, from the historic
gathering of the last three Kū images in the world to traveling
exhibitions about deep sea creatures and dinosaurs; from
Hawaiian surfboards and contemporary art to Korean War
remembrances.
E Kū Ana Ka Paia: Unification, Responsibility and the
Kū Images (June 5–October 4, 2010)
The British Museum in London and Peabody Essex Museum
of Salem, Massachusetts, joined Bishop Museum in presenting E Kū Ana Ka Paia: Unification, Responsibility and the Kū
Images, a landmark exhibition that brought together the last of
the great Kū images in the world. Over 71,300 people attended
the exhibition, which included an opening symposium, a series
of free lectures, a free gallery guide, and an extension of the
exhibition in the J. M. Long Gallery. Made possible with support from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Native Hawaiian
Culture and Arts Program, Education through Cultural and
Historic Organizations Project, which is supported by the U.S.
Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement, Hawaiian Airlines, Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities,
Hawaii Tourism Authority, and Peabody Essex Museum.
Surfing: Featuring the Historic Surfboards in Bishop Museum’s
Collection (June 19–September 6, 2010)
This exhibit, created by Bishop Museum, featured both historic
images from the Museum’s archives and historic surfboards
from the Museum’s renowned collection of artifacts. An
interactive surfing station also provided a means to engage
children further in the topic.

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 generation 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 featured 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.
2011 MAMo Awards
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 gallery 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.
Education Program Highlights
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 attendance for all Bishop Museum public programs in FY 2011 was
approximately 240,000.
School Field Trips
A 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.
Cultural educator Bill Marston presents for a group of students in Hawaiian Hall.
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 Planetarium
The 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 Improvement 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 alldome 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 Program
2,175 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 Schools
In 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,
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.

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 Programs
A key step forward in the Museum’s ability to best serve its visitors 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.
Amy B. H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden
Highlights
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 beautiful 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 Hawaiian 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 special 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 progress 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 permitting and zoning hurdles were overcome, ground was broken in
late summer of 2010. By mid-year 2011, the roof of the new building was on, the walls were ready for drywall and painting, and
the driveway was graded and ready for asphalt. This new center will allow the Garden to fulfill its potential as an anchor for
the neighborhood of Captain Cook, attracting visitors and inviting them to spend time in the rural community as they gain an
appreciation for the cultural and natural environment of Kona.
The Amy B. H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden’s new visitor center.
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. Federal support came from the Education through Cultural and
Historical Organization program (ECHO, U.S. Department of
Education), and the Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program (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 supporters. 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.

Special Programs/Community Event Highlights
ECHO Festival of Performing Arts
The 11th annual Mary Kawena Pukui Storytelling Festival
was held at Bishop Museum on February 13, 2011. The centerpiece 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, Massachusetts, 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 partnership of the Bishop Museum, Alaska Native Heritage Center,
New Bedford ECHO Project, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, North Slope Borough (Barrow, AK), and Peabody Essex
Museum.
Artist Meala Bishop sells one of her original paintings at the 2011 Native Hawaiian Arts Market.
An important aspect of this project is that it goes into the classroom—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 production, “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 Performing 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 Market
The 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.
2010 ASTC Conference
From 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.

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 benefit all who are beneficiaries of it, including but not limited to:
the Native Hawaiian Homeownership Opportunity Act, federal support for Native Hawaiian education and healthcare for
Kalaupapa residents, the protection of Makua Valley from military 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.

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.
Charles Reed Bishop Society
