The Forum on Hawai'i's Military and Warrior Past is sponsoring the following presentation, and it invites all of our members to attend. RSVP requested: [email protected] Description
Drawing on historical accounts and ongoing research into ancient Hawaiian warfare, this presentation explores what the available evidence can tell us about how Hawaiian commanders exercised authority, organized and controlled their forces and made decisions. Using the Battle of Mokuʻōhai as a case study, it examines the challenges of reconstructing a distinctly Hawaiian art of command, distinguishing historical evidence from interpretation and considering how these findings might inform new approaches to studying and teaching Hawaiian military history.
