1. Observe the rock pool and the surrounds for litter, oyster shells, footprints, fishing wire, as well as other forms of human interaction.

Kamaunuaniho, daughter and wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku and Hina, daughter and sister of Kamaunuaniho and second wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku, sailed on the red canoe they inherited from Haumealani, the first wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku, to the island of Oahu. It was a kapu made by ʻOlopana, King of Oahu island that no “canoe could” “land, because all of the Oʻahu shorelines were made” (Kameʻeleihiwa 8) off-limits. ʻOlopana made all the shores off limits so no predators to his ruling could threaten his reign. However, his trusted guards let down their shield to the presence of these women because of their observations of such beauty sailing on a special red canoe. For these guards knew that a chiefess were standing before them. Hina’s status, purity, and beauty spared her life and Kamaunuaniho’s as they were brought to King ʻOlopana and became his wāhine. These events can easily be compared to the arrival of Captain Cooke. Cooke’s sails were large and white on a boat in similar appearance to a huge canoe just like the god, Lono whose arrival was said to be soon. The advisors of the King of the Island said to kill Cooke warning the king that he would take everything from them. However, just like ʻOlopana, he oversaw Cooke’s arrival and Cooke

For the decades the first nation peoples are not being treated properly. Whether in terms of signing treaties or getting compensation of using their water from shoal lake 40. The Canadian government has carried out against Indigenous people, their land and their water as well. A centaury ago when the demand for water was increasing in Winnipeg city because of growing population , the federal government forcefully captured their reserve land on shoal lake 40 in order to construct aquaduct which is used to carry water extracted from shoal lake into the Winnipeg city. The federal government did not think about the consequences the first nation people will face who actually depend on shoal lake for their survival. T

Salt Spring Island of British Columbia in the nineteenth century, was filled with hatred. For those who were not of White descent they would soon realize that there was a clear separation between the Whites, Blacks, and Aboriginals. This division is crucial to understand as the Whites were the settlers to this area meaning they took over the land and had a great deal of authority. They manipulated the Blacks into following their social and moral regulations, but were incapable of doing the same for the Indians. Consequently, a rivalry occurred since not all Aboriginals could accept being a means to an end for the Whites. In other words, there was a common ideology amongst the Whites that justice must be served to those Indians who decided to disregard the law.

The Hawaiians were further depicted as "thieves" like the rest of the "people in Polynesia," and plagued with the barbaric accusation of committing infanticide. These so called "facts" were enough for the Euro-American forces to send out missionaries to regulate the Hawaiian people and take over their land and all their practices. (Stannard, 381- 417)

First Coast, also known as Northeast Florida, is located on the Atlantic coast, comprising of five counties surrounding Jacksonville: Duval, Baker, Clay, Nassau and St. Johns. It extends past the southern end of Anastasia Island to Marineland. The name “First Coast” originally appeared in a marketing campaign in the 1980s, and has its origins as the first area of Florida to be colonized by Europeans. Ponce De Leon is believed to have landed in the First Coast region during the early 1500s on his first expedition. In the 1560s, the French established the colony of Fort Caroline in what is today Jacksonville. First Coast is not only known for its historical significance, but it is also the state’s best-kept secret as vacationers paradise, that

In the analysis of Cook’s travel journal of Hawaii, it is clear that he did not see the same cultural significance in the Hawaiians as he saw their utilitarian value in helping him repair the ship and get on his was to the Northwest Passage. Additionally, many discrepancies exist because many of the European travel accounts, that were once published as true and factual, were later discovered to be second hand accounts of people miles away from the battle itself. Scholars rightly bring concern at the fabrication of events surrounding Cook’s death as the crew member John Ledyard made a large effort to make appear to have been at the scene of the death when in actuality, he was at least a mile away. In this, the imperialist attitude is brought forth again, Ledyard, by adapting his account to place himself at the place of Cook’s death, is taking power and control over the telling of the events leading up to and following the battle and takes ownership over how Cook is perceived, giving the crew the most favorable view in the retelling of the battle. Years later, it was found that Ledyard’s account is purely speculation and hearsay but his actions in editing his account of the voyage show Cook’s imperialist

Bondi-beach is one of Australia’s most famous beaches in Sydney. It is located on the east coast of Australia and is a suburb of the city of Sydney. ‘Bondi’ or ‘Boondi’ is an Aboriginal word meaning water breaking over rocks or noise of water breaking over rocks (Frances Pollon, 1990). In 1851, Francis O’Brien and Edward Smith Hall purchased 200 acres of the Bondi area which was named ‘The Bondi Estate’. During this period the beach was accessible to the public as a picnic ground and playground for families; Because the site quickly became popular it was endanger to become private to the public, yet the Municipal Council believed that the Government needed to negotiate the issue in order to make the beach a public reserve. The area was a working

Hawaii, translated from the ancient Hawaiian language should mean paradise because that's what it is. Hawaii has a climate that varies only several degrees in temperature year round and the sun always shines. The rainy season is in January, but it isn't so rainy that it deters visitors. In fact, winter is one of the most popular times of year to visit Hawaii. This is probably because it is cold and dreary just about everywhere else in the United States. Hawaii makes for the perfect getaway for Californians because it is only about a three-hour flight.

The Kwakiutl of The North Pacific Coast is a group that encompases many distinct and extraordinary aspects of a North American native culture.

Cook's endeavors in Hawaii led to more Europeans coming to see what it was all about. "The first trading ships known to have stopped at Hawaii arrived in 1786. They were bringing furs from Oregon to China"(World Book). Europeans brought with them foreign livestock, manufactured goods, and plants. Because of the new people in a foreign land, diseases such as cholera, measles and gonorrhea, spread across the native Hawaiians. The population dwindled from around 250,000 to 1 million in 1779 to 88,000 in 1848. Captain George Vancouver of England introduced Hawaii to cows and rum in the early 1790s.

The first person to unite the island was Kamehameha. He was born as Paiea, the lonely one. His uncle, Kalani’opu’u was the ruler of Hawai’i before Kamehameha conquered the islands. He/Kamehameha wasn’t supposed to become the king after all. Until he achieved so many mana from all the battles he won and from the people who respected him, he was able to become the king, Kamehameha the Great.

Plants and animals are such beautiful living things. There are over 700 different types of plants that made Wasaga Beach their home and 4 out of 700 are rare in Canada. Some of those plants exist because of the sand dunes that make the beach. Just walking around the park the view of the flowers is enticing like the Moccasin flower Orchids (Figure 5) or the British Lichen (Figure 6). There are also plants that are not enticing like the poison ivy that lurks in the bushes.

The exact nature of the encounters between Captain James Cook and the Polynesian natives of Hawaii as well as all interactions and exchanges between Europeans and native Polynesian peoples of the Pacific while Cook was exploring the islands of Hawaii and after has been investigated by anthropologists and historians for many years. Captain Cook died at the hand of Polynesian natives while he was at Hawaii in 1779. Marshall Sahlins stated that Cook was seen as the god Lono during the celebration of the Makahiki festival taking place at the time of Cook’s visit. Gananath Obeyesekere, in his noted work, The Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the Pacific, argues

The Krakatoa Volcanoes are an island located in the Sunda Strait between the islands Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. From above, the islands look like normal islands with vegetation but look deep into the Earth's crust and the volcanic island sits on top of the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian plate. The Krakatoa volcanic peaks sit upon a subduction zone between these two tectonic plates where the Indo-Australian plate goes under or subducts against the Eurasian plate. In 416 AD, Krakatoa's ancestral volcano erupted releasing tons of ash and dust into the atmosphere. The 416 AD eruption was so devastating that it formed a caldera with a 7 km diameter completely disintegrating this volcano. The only remnants of the 416 AD eruption were
