Description
A three day war erupted in 1895 between Hawaiian royalists and the state, as the indigenous peoples fought against Hawaii’s royal line being overturned. The article is from the Hawaiian star and describes the perspective of events from the American, pro-US government side of the war. At the time when the paper was published, Hawaiian newspapers were usually controlled by white or European immigrants, such as US sympathisers, or the descendants of missionaries. This limited the voice which indigenous Hawaiians had in regular publications. The lack of agency that Hawaiians had explains the perspective which the author of the article took when describing the incident in which the home of George Bartelmann ‘a prominent half-white’ was raided, following reports that rifles were being distributed there. This source relates to themes of immigration and annexation.
