The contributions from this user page are intended to contribute to overall  knowledge and understanding of Territory of Hawaii, as well as contribute to the Wikipedia Education Program. Over the last 16 years I have dedicated my spare-time to researching Hawaii in the first half of the twentieth century to verify information passed down through local oral history, with the intent to shape course curricula to be culturally relevant to the region. Over the years unexpected historical findings were also discovered which in themselves were significant to an overall picture of the time and its social-economic structure. While the original purpose of the research was to further my own academic and artistic endeavors their importance merits entry in to various Wikipedia articles for the public benefit.
