Ancient Polynesians first arrived in Hawaii around 300 AD via ocean voyages. They developed a stratified society and religion centered around various gods. Their culture was expressed through hula dancing, chants, and instruments made from native materials. While Western influence introduced new instruments like the ukulele, traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music preserves their cultural heritage.
During a psychology class we were asked to present a project on a culture of our choice. My choice of Hawaii was mostly because of the seperated culture between the U.S. and the last state of Hawaii.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. Hawaiian Geography This is a painting of Ka'anapali 200 Years Ago, by Herb Kane. This is now the location of the Royal LahainaHotel and many other popular tourists resorts.
4. Hawaiian Culture The early Polynesians were an adventurous seafaring people with highly developed navigational skills. They used the sun, stars and wave patterns to find their directions. Ancient Polynesians even created incredible maps of wave patterns by binding sticks together. Bird flight paths and cloud patterns were used to discern where islands were located.
5. Hawaiian Culture The ancient tribal Polynesians arrived on the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after long, amazing sea voyages in their double-hulled canoes. The Polynesians were accomplished ocean voyagers and explorers long before the Europeans had ventured far from land.
6. Hawaiian Culture Entire villages set forth upon ocean going double-hulled canoes to discover unsettled lands like the Hawaiian islands.
7. Hawaiian Culture The main Hawaiian Islands were discovered by ancient Polynesians, probably from the Marquesas, somewhere around the 3rd century A.D. The first Heiau, or temple was built on the Big Island of Hawai`i in 500 A.D. to worship their two primary gods, Ku, the god of war and Lono, the god of peace and agriculture. By 850 A.D. the main Hawaiian Islands were mostly settled.
8. Hawaiian Culture Hawaii is a tropical paradise which has more than its share of pristine beaches, stunning sunsets, towering waterfalls and reefs teeming with colorful fish. What sets these islands apart from the rest of the world besides there natural beauty is it’s native Hawaiian culture. It's a culture that is filled with fascinating customs, music, legends, traditions and values.
9. Hawaiian Culture Prior to the arrival of European/Americans to the Hawaiian Islands, the people held many distinct cultural features in common with other Polynesians. Some of these customs now extinct included the Hawaiian kinship system, a strict taboo system, a stratified caste system, and a religious system including many deities and temples.
10. Hawaiian Culture Hawaiian Stratified Caste System: Hawaii had developed a strict caste system, where people were born to a specific social class and were unable to move into another class. With the caste system, the Hawaiians developed a feudalistic society, similar to European feudalism. The general classes included, in order of importance: Ali’i, the Hawaiian royal class Kahuna, the Hawaiian priestly class Maka'ainana, the Hawaiian commoner class
11. Hawaiian Culture Hawaiian Religion: Hawaiian religion was polytheistic and animistic, as spirits were believed to dwell in nature and objects. The Hawaiians held respect for all living things, for natural forces, and for spirits and deities. Some spirits could be benevolent and some evil. Hawaiians worshipped at heiaus (temples or places of worship), which were sacred locations for prayers, offerings, rituals and human sacrifices. Hawaiian sacred places also included thousands of koa(shrines), and many wahi pana (sacred sites). A strictly followed system of kapus (taboos or cursed things) served as a legal system for the Hawaiians. Kapu means “forbidden,” but it also carries the meaning of “sacred,” as some items and activities were marked as consecrated, to be used or touched only by certain classes.
12. Hawaiian Culture The statue to the left is one of the gods named Ku. To the right is a heiau(a temple) protected by many different gods.
13. Hawaiian Culture Another Hawaiian icon is the hula. It's an image of swaying hips, graceful hands and colorful costumes. Hula kahiko is accompanied in the Hawaiian language along with drums and other percussion implements. Hula kahiko is performed for storytelling or for religious and ceremonial purposes.
14. Hawaiian Culture The hula has evolved over the years from an activity exclusively for men and for religious purposes to today's contemporary dances, where both the men and women dance for fun, expression and enjoyment. Hula today has two major forms, the ancient, or hula kahiko and the modern, or hula auana.

16. Hawaiian Music Before contact with western civilization, Hawaiians celebrated nature, their gods and their love of life through the expression of Chants and Hula. Chants came in two basic styles... mele oli were chants without music while mele hula were chants with dance and sometimes musical instruments. Here is a link to a video of an Hawaiian Chant without music: http://youtu.be/YHv7WYV6Bqg Mele Oli Mele Hula
17. Hawaiian Music Because of Hawaii's lack of metals and minerals other than lava - musical instruments were created from trees, plants and shells.
18. Hawaiian Music The basic instruments included the ipu - a drum made out of a gourd. The ipu heke - a double gourd drum.
19. Hawaiian Music The kala'au - sticks that were struck together. The 'ili 'ili - two flat smooth stones that were clicked together.
20. Hawaiian Music The ohe hanoihu - a nose flute made from wood. The Conch Shell - a large ocean shell that was blown into to produce deep resonant tones.
21. Hawaiian Music The pu ohe - a trumpet made of bamboothat produced a deep sound like a conch shell. The puili - slit sticks made from bamboo.
22. Hawaiian Music The most famous musical instrument of the islands- at least to non-Hawaiians - is the ukulele. Interestingly enough, the ukulele did not originate in Hawaii. The origins of the ukulele come from a ship that arrived in Honolulu on August 23, 1879. The ship was carrying Portuguese immigrants from the Island of Maderia. When they arrived one of the immigrants using a braguinha started playing his native songs. Hawaiians were very impressed with the music and especially how the musicians' fingers danced on the strings. The Hawaiians called the braguinha a ukulele that is a combination of the word uku which means flea, and lele which means to jump. Thus ukulele literally means jumping flea and describes the fingers of a ukulele player.
23. Hawaiian Music These were the instruments of ancient Hawaiian music, and are still used today in modern Hawaiian music as well as in the hula. Below is a Hawaiian Chant where the ipu heke, conch shell, 'ili 'iliare used. http://youtu.be/gPKT_h2jBPg
24. Hawaiian Music Todays contemporary Hawaiian music is modern music that contains both Hawaiian and English songs. Contemporary Hawaiian music started gaining popularity in the late 1960's on the mainland, and Hawaiian singers would do these songs in their own uniquely Hawaiian style. A famous Hawaiian artist that I enjoy listening to that recently passed away was called Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. On the left I have posted a few of his songs from youtube.

25. Hawaiian Music Conclusion In my overview of the Native Hawaiians, they were very much like the Native Americans in music, religion and culture. They used and constructed rough instruments from natural resources on the island. They used their instruments, dance and vocal chants to worship and honor the different and many gods that they had. Their music was also very primitive at the time, and the encounter of the Europeans or Americans in the late 1700’s affected their culture the same as it did the Native Americans. Some Europeans tried to work with native Hawaiian’s to incorporate them into the United States, others, less patient, decided that force was the better approach. And thus, Hawaii was absorbed into the United States somewhat against Hawaiian will, but because they were somewhat separate geographically from the United States, they were better able to maintain their original culture.
