This is an excerpt from a newspaper article found in the Hawaiian Gazette on page 8. This was a semi-weekly newspaper established in 1865, and advocated American economic interests in Hawai’i. It became the official newspaper of the Kingdom in 1865 serving as a piece of American propaganda, during annexation it became anti-monarchy promoting the new American government established. This particular extract contains the concert program for an event that was held for the significant people in Hawaiian society. The attendance list is of people with predominantly Westernised names thus, indicating the level of Western influence by the end of the 19th century. Among the mentioned is Ida May Pope, who was known for her contributions as a teacher and trainer of the Hawaiian women. Therefore, this directly relates to the cultural transformation of Hawai’i and the implementation of Western ideals upon Hawaiian women.

The Hawaiian Gazette, Honolulu [Oahu, Hawai’i] editor 1877 onwards: unknown
After 1877, the editors are listed as ‘many others’, there is no reference to who these people actually were.
