Historians must read Hawaiian to get whole story
Houston Wood writes a letter
in the Advertiser, another in response to Evelyn Cook, that points out that if
Cook does not read Hawaiian, she missed out on the side of history expressed in
75 Hawaiian-language newspapers published between 1834 and 1948. "Earlier
historians of Hawai'i unfortunately ignored this immense archive. As a result,
their books misrepresent how colonization, the overthrow and annexation played
out within the Hawaiian community."
