as "Hawaiian," and also be the
opposite of what English-language
literature describes as "American."
Neither of these things really has
anything to do with what is a Hawaiian
view of Hawaiian-ness, which, of
course, is recorded in Hawaiian. This
method of self-identification has
caused great trauma in the Hawaiian
community because the English-speaking
community and media immediately
recognize it as "Hawaiian" by their
own definition, even when it is in
direct conflict with traditional
Hawaiian values.
The negative features of pidgin and
lack of status are obvious. The fact
that pidgin is most decried by the
English-speaking group should serve as
notice that eliminating pidgin in
favor of Standard American English
would probably not be in the best
interests of the Hawaiian people. The
positive features of pidgin must
always be recognized: maintenance of
the unity and identity of Hawaiians in
the face of the elimination of the
ancestral tongue for so many; and a
means for continuing in large part the
traditional base culture of the
Hawaiian people referred to above, for
which purpose Standard English is not
overly-well suited.
Creolization of pidgin was really
the only solution that local children
had in order to retain that distinct
and primary Hawaiian cultural identity
within the context of compulsory
education in English. This education
deprived them of a full Hawaiian
language education, and even deprived
them of time with their families,
important in developing full control
of the entire spectrum of the Hawaiian
language. The same forces that
created pidgin initially are presently
with us, and work against ever
replacing it with Standard American
English, or even making such a
replacement in the best interest of
Hawaiians. What then is the
alternative? The revival of Hawaiian
as a primary language for local people
is a natural proposal for anyone at
all familiar with the achievements of
Hawaiians in their own language and
with similar situations in other parts
of the world where language revival
had made a considerable difference
in people's lives. 30/
C. HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Introduction
Title I of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to
expand and maintain a National
Register of Historic Places "composed
of districts, sites, buildings,
structures and objects significant in
American history, architecture,
archeology, engineering and culture."
Historic preservation is basically
a citizen, not a government, movement.
Action by the private sector is
supported, not initiated, in Hawaii by
the County, State, and Federal
Governments. The Hawaii State
Historic Preservation Plan defines the
roles of these respective sectors in
the following way:
Private Sector: Increasing
numbers of people from all walks
of life are beginning to realize
that action is needed to protect
the rapidly diminishing treasure
of historic resources and that
private efforts are often the
most cost-effective.
County Governments: Counties
are the level of government
where the average citizen can
most effectively be involved in
the decision-making process. It
is through the County government
that community preservation
priorities can be voiced and
action best tailored to those
priorities can be initiated.
