In the 1820’s Missionaries have been starting to visit Hawaii inspired by Henry Obookiah who the first Hawaiian Missionary. Henry Obookiah was a Hawaiian missionary that told the English about the Hawaiian religion and how it works, and it convinced the English to go and spread their religion. But not everything ended well according to the plan for the Hawaiians. People only notice the negative effects that the missionaries cause the Hawaiians to go through, but they miss the benefits that the missionaries gave the Hawaiians. Although the missionaries have brought negative effects to the Hawaiians, they also have given the Hawaiians some benefits with the new religion, new language, and new technology.

One technology that was really big is all types of metal but mainly iron and this helped the Hawaiians craft new things. Metal help makes better weapons, better tools, and better armor. All this made the Hawaiians even more advanced and caught up to advanced technology and understanding how to use it. How new technology came into play caused the Hawaiians become more civilized with now buildings, and most importantly more safe from harm. This is the huge benefit that technology brought to the Hawaiians.
Missionaries have brought negative effects to the Hawaiians, they also have given the Hawaiians some benefits with the new religion, new language, and new technology. The new religion gave jobs back and also gave the Hawaiians something new for them to believe in. A new language opened up a bunch of opportunities for the Hawaiians and helped the Hawaiians more technology. Also, the new technology helped make Hawaii become more civilized and make life and chores easier. This is how the missionaries brought benefits to the
The main effects to the Hawaiians dying out from diseases such as measles, smallpox,and ect. In fact, according to the article, After 200 years,native Hawaiians make a comeback made by Sara Kehaulani. It states “Swanson’s estimates show that the death rate among Native Hawaiians accelerated devastatingly fast after their first contact with Western foreigners. Captain Cook and his crew wrote in well-documented accounts about concerns that they had infected the populations with venereal diseases (Cook said he unsuccessfully tried to prevent his men from mingling with the native women). Over the years, many other infectious diseases and illnesses such as measles, chicken pox, polio and tuberculosis killed thousands of Hawaiians.”
One of the reasons why the Mahele was unjustified, was because the government treated Hawaiians unfairly. Hawaiians wanted
The foreigners took the land without them knowing and traded it with the other foreigners. They sold the land to the other foreigners even though the land want theres. The foreigners made them pay for their own land even though the hawaiians had no money. They also left them with less than one
Also, foreigners are breaking the law that states citizens have the first choice of buying the land. Both of these effects are affecting the commoners politically. The last effect that the Mahele did, is that foreigners are bidding the land until it’s too high for the Native Hawaiians to buy. This is an economical and negative affect to the Native Hawaiians, but it's a positive effect to the foreigners. Although it may seem that land for everyone sounds like a fantastic idea, but some commoners suffered in pain because of the Mahele.
The social effects the Great Mahele had on The Hawaiian people was that the commoners had very little land and foreigners had a lot because they
The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was on January 17, 1893 when the government's power fell in the foreigners hands who supported annexation. The Annexation Club focused on overthrowing the Queen and seeking annexation to the United States. This was caused by the McKinley Tariff Act by the United States which the Reciprocity Treaty on tariff that helped protect both United States and Hawaii sugar growers was now removed and the Hawaiians had a huge disadvantage because of the tariffs the Hawaiians need to pay. This was horrible for the foreigners because now that there was no more reciprocity treaty, the Hawaiians had to pay for the tariffs once again. The overthrow was unjustified for the Hawaiians because of John Stevens actions and the Hawaiian League.
The textbook portrays the annexation of Hawaii in a positive light, stating that America had saved Hawaii from its numerous economic pitfalls and had thus mutually benefitted both countries. The McKinley tariff of 1890 was the fist around Hawaii’s throat, for it barred the sale of Hawaiian
This lack of timber meant that the Hawaiians couldn’t build and replenish their own homes. Before the Mahele, the Hawaiians could move freely to any part of the land to get supplies because they believed that the land belonged to everyone (Cachola). When the Mahele was created this meant that the Hawaiians couldn’t cross over to to another section of land, instead they could only use the resources in their area. This lead to shortage of supplies for the Hawaiians which caused many of them to die due to
Improper surveys were made on Hawaiians lands by surveyors and their premises was very much lessened, so they lost a lot of land that they worked on and raised crops. After the Hawaiians lost their land the foreigners raised the price of land, and the Hawaiians could no longer afford to have land. Very quickly the Hawaiians started to lose all their land to foreigners and they had no land to live on or to work on, and they were living without enough food and resources. From this many Hawaiians had to scavenge for food for themselves and family, they also had to find materials to rebuild houses that they lost, when the land was
In the 1800’s around 300,000 Hawaiians lived there as the first europeans too. what they called the great king when the place waited for very few of foreigners placed food on the shore. It was said that it happened when the Hawaiian Islands were united as one under the King’s rules. In the 1900’s In the earlier communities in Kahuku the beautiful land brung many different people like Asians, Europeans, and americans came to enjoy the beauty of the place.
On the case of the collapse of the Easter Islands, many arguments can be made to try to explain how the once thriving and growing island had degenerated into absolute anarchy, of those arguments the culturalist best explains the collapse. Culturalist theory explains that ideologies of a group or state will become ingrained into that a society, becoming the identifying factor of how a people will differ from other societies. For the Polynesian civilization, their focus was on that of adventure, war and religion; with very little to no interest in reading nor writing. (Keegan, 1993) With the case of Easter Island, their focus on being a seafaring fighting religious people, their religion became focused on the premise of mana and taboo, in which the chief of a
The Tiwi Islands had little-sustained contact from outsiders until 1824 when the British arrived and build Fort Dundas (Peterson & Taylor 1998, p. 12). However, this settlement was abandoned in 1829, after they experienced poor relations with the Tiwi (Peterson & Taylor 1998, p. 12). The next settlement to occur on Tiwi was not until 1897, by Joe Cooper, whose sporadic existence on the island was brief, leaving in 1897 to return in 1900 but left again in 1916 (Peterson & Taylor 1998, pp. 13). In 1911 saw the beginning of a permeant settlement by Father Gsell who established a Catholic mission (Peterson & Taylor 1998, p. 13). Father Gsell's mission would impact the Tiwi Islanders way of life and their family structure. In 1923 he started purchasing
BPQ#4: The colonial experience of Asian and African peoples during the long nineteenth century was somewhat similar to the earlier colonial experience in the Americas. The process of colonization in Africa and Asia occurred with similar missionary efforts to the missionary efforts “ in the Americas centuries earlier, as military defeat shook confidence in the old gods and local practices, fostering openness to new sources of supernatural power” (905). Yet, in the Americas, colonization resulted in higher rates of conversion to Christianity. Also, the impact of the Europeans, specifically their diseases, were much more devastating in the Americas. This was because the peoples of Africa and Asia had already been exposed at some level to European
Adley Blickhan 4/3/24 Why European Colonization Helped the Native Americans? European Colonization of the World had mostly positive effects. Europeans were very smart and helped people advance food and technology. They also taught us how to distinguish which plants are edible. Finally, the Europeans helped advance the utilization of livestock.
The first missionaries arrived to the Hawaiian Islands in 1820 and made a lot of changes to Hawaii when they arrived, both good and bad. When the missionaries arrived to the islands they thought of the natives as savages. They all needed to become converts to followers of Christ, drop their own beliefs and pick up new ones. They also sought out to “civilize” the natives, by teaching them how to read and write, sing and Christianize them. Hiram Bingham and Asa Thurston were the first of many missionaries to arrive in Hawaii. The Queen at the time, Kaahumanu accepted the arrival of the missionaries from New England to teach their religion. Although there were many positive affects of missionary that came to the Hawaiian Islands, there
