Eight elite contenders from across the islands faced off in at the #BishopMuseum to vie for first place in the inaugural Ka Makou Kōnane Invitational Tournament.
#Kōnane tests your ability to move with & around your opponent in a manner reminiscent of lua, Hawaiian martial arts, & hula.

Stone building, resembling Victorian castle a bit, with text in the arch above the main entrance: 1889 BERNICE P BISHOP MUSEUM . green grass loan in the front, blue sky with some white clouds. Big pandanus plant in the bottom right corner and a few small palms in the bottom left corner.
Just finished 5+ hours visit to #BishopMuseum in Honolulu. intense learning! Excellent exhibitions. My head is spinning from trying to absorb so much information.
Painted during American artist John Mix Stanley’s 1848–49 stay in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, this portrait gently stages an encounter between Indigenous presence and Western academic portraiture. The young woman, unrecorded by name but rendered with individualized features, carefully observed dress, and ceremonial lei, embodies Native Hawaiian dignity amid rapid cultural change. The young girl sits frontally before a pale masonry wall, her warm brown skin and dark eyes illuminated by even, gentle light. She wears a soft yellow holokū with a high yoke and long sleeves, accented by a green ribbon at her throat, a thick orange lei draped around her neck, and a vivid pinkish shawl folded over her lap. A fresh flower crown circles her neatly parted black hair. Resting securely in her arms is a small white dog whose alert face and bright eyes turn toward us, its body nestled into her lap. Sparse grasses and a shadowed plant at the left edge subtly anchor the young woman in the Hawaiian landscape while keeping the focus on her steady, composed gaze and the quiet intimacy between girl and animal. Her confident posture and direct gaze reject the exoticizing stereotypes common in Euro-American images of the Pacific. Instead, she appears as a poised young woman of status, possibly connected to elite or mission-educated circles, claiming space with her companion animal. The dog, a cherished pet rather than a specimen, underscores affection, domestic security, and a shared life rooted in this place rather than on a distant frontier. For Stanley, already known for painting Native nations in North America, Hawaiʻi offered another chance to document people he believed were at risk of being misunderstood or erased. During nearly a year in Hawaiʻi, he painted King Kamehameha III, Queen Kalama, and members of the aliʻi. "Hawaiian Girl with Dog" centers a Native Hawaiian subject with unusual tenderness, reinforcing her individuality instead of relegating her to background ethnography.

Visiting Bishop Museum always inspires me. Its Hawaiian treasures shaped my Master’s thesis on kapa fibers, and I’m proud to support it like my mentor, Dr. Isabella Abbott. #BishopMuseum #KapaFibers
