Abstract

The article "He Mo'olelo Hō'ike: Curators in Conflict at Hawai'i's Bishop Museum" from the Hawaiian Journal of History discusses the conflict between Emma Nakuina, a Hawaiian woman of chiefly status, and William Brigham, the museum's Director and Curator, in 1897. The incident highlighted gender, race, class, and cultural differences, occurring in a politically charged period in Hawai'i. The clash between Nakuina and Brigham reflected power dynamics and differing perspectives on the presentation of Hawaiian culture in the museum. The article delves into the historical context, personal backgrounds, and professional disagreements that led to the conflict between the two curators. [Extracted from the article]
