Kamehameha is totally an Indian Boarding School.  
Donʻt even get me started.  Anybody who thinks otherwise clearly did not experience what I did. And those were the “better” years.

  Keli Akina calling Indigenous peoples of the Continent “Indians” is not cool either (tho it is their perogative to choose what terms they use for themselves). In this case, the term “Indian Boarding School” refers specifically to an institution that meets certain qualifictions, and whose focus is on forced assimilation.

  Laulani Teale yeah, "Indian" is a legal term, it has many different meanings depending on how it's used, so can cause confusion

  Tanya Harrison generally, it’s racist. The Department of Interior has specific criteria for what constitutes an “Indian Boarding School,” and KS happens to match those. More importantly, though, it has served as a major vehicle of cultural erasure, abuse, intergenerational trauma and forced assimilation.

People from India are indians. Original people from north America are called by their tribe names.

  Keli Akina Actually, In-di-ans are from India, In-dins are from North America.... oK, that's a rez joke, but seriously, we use tribal names, but most Indians say Indian. An honored elder advocated years ago, that we must always call ourselves Indians, cuz that's in the US constitution. If we say native American or our tribal name, a judge can say, well that's not in the constitution, and strike down whatever meager protection under US law we might have. "Indian' in the US constitution references the indginous peoples of the US, and since the US claims Hawaii, they also consider Hawaiians under that umbrella name "Indian" as it's interpreted to mean indiginous. Obviously Polynesians are different from North American natives, and the US differentiates that too.

I agree. I was even thinking about how the schools that are centered in neighborhoods like the Anahola DHHL housing are basically boarding schools as well, because they’re surrounded by imposed Americanized housing that’s forced upon hawaiians if they get land awards under the current unlawful dhhl administrative rules. The school is essentially “part” of the Americanized housing subdivision. You attend this school only after youve agreed to the housing rules (must build 700sf min size(instead of tiny kupuna hale), must be “american style” house approved by HOA, must be built with new(imported) materials, no raising chicken or pig, no wa’a allowed to be parked on lot, and all loan and lease papers are in english instead of hawaiian. It may sound like a stretch, but to me its all related.

There’s a few institutions that should be more properly on that list, like the youth “correctional” camps on Maui where they sent Hawaiian kids after they got in trouble for any reason, taught manual skills. There were no fences no gates, but lots of industrial classes and penalties for truancy or runaway. Kids were then apprenticed to local businesses. Cultural genocide 101

Hmmm forced assimilation I can agree but not convinced we can truly compare the experience of Indian board schools with Kamehamaha Schools such as children taken & separated from their families forever and generations later discovered in a mass grave site. If we are to compare both institutions today…one is highly sought after like a private preparatory school and the other is a place that children are sent to due to lack of resources and/or disfunction at home on the rez. Like comparing apples and oranges.

  Carolyn Kualii i hear you, but i think there was a lot more going on at KS than a lot of people know. On the surface it looks like a coveted prep school. But there was some seriously messed up stuff going on. Lots of sexual abuse. And the mental abuse is so far beyond what people know about. At one point I was sent to 6 different shrinks in a WEEK to “fix” my refusal to conform and obey. Weird, cult-like peer pressure was cultivated. There was physical abuse behind the scenes, too. Like, a lot.
  And then there was the language policing. People who spoke pidgin (outside of the classroom) were sent to speech therapy and publicly ridiculed.
  And SO much more.
  That place looked one way from the outside, and a totally different way on the inside. But most on the inside were fully brainwashed by the constant and extensive cult rituals, which included super intense Americanization and social suppression of anyone questioning authority.

  Carolyn Kualii i think it is also important to recognize that the mass graves are just one aspect of the boarding school experience. Genocide was bigger than that and involved an entire paradigm of colonial mindfuckery.
  KS woulda had mass graves, too, had they not had the ability to just kick students out or discredit them after abusing them.
  We all knew the borders were being sexually abused. We did not know how many others were also being abused.

  Laulani Teale not surprised since it is still a Christian based school that came with US Christian values. I don’t like to use the word “American” because north & south of the US borders are also the Americas. Many indigenous people in the south that don’t get acknowledged as also being American.

  Children are not taken to boarding schools because of lack of resources or disfunction on the rez, they're just taken. They don't look around and say "oh this rez is nice, we won't steal any children from here". They steal children. Period.
  My cousin was 5 years old when he was kidnapped by federal marshals off our rez. That was in 2006. We didn't learn until a year later he'd been murdered.

  Aurélia Satsuki Ono There might've been a blurb in some local paper when it happened, but I doubt much more than that. The people who murdered him were arrested, oddly enough. One got 7 years for "reckless endangerment of a child under 8", and the other 3 years for accessory. This, after they scalped him and dumped his body in the woods. Testified in allocution that he was "possessed by Satan" because he wouldn't say Christian prayers.

Salvation Army Boys Home was the pits. Used to be up in Manoa Valley, by the Waioli Tea Room. They used to tell me how my parents had given me up & didn't want me. When my mother would come & visit, they would say to each other (I found out later) that my mother was drunk (she never drank) or slurring her words. As a kid, I didn't know any better until I found out later that they had almost refused to give me up until a lawyer was bought in. Or so I was told. Although they did give us a lot of activities to do, the emphasis was on "your family abandoned you & we are the only ones who can help. Pretty fkn sad.

Is Kamehameha a Federal Indian Boarding School?
The US Department of Interior released a report by Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland, under Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (who is the first Native American in the position), on the genocidal practice of Indian Boarding Schools. In Canada and Australia as well as the US it has been recognized that such schools serve to separate Indigenous children from their parents, severing the transmission of Native culture and practices from one generation to the next. Ward Churchill notes that the US did not sign the UN Convention Against Genocide for over 40 years because it was in violation of the Convention, mostly because of the existence well into the 20th century of Indian boarding schools.
The documentary Waterman claims that Duke Kahanamoku left Kamehameha because of its suppression of culture
Kamehameha Schools is listed among eleven schools considered Federal Indian Boarding Schools, along with Lahainaluna!
1. Hilo Boarding School
2. Industrial and Reformatory School (Kawailou)
3. Industrial and Reformatory School (Keoneula, Kapalama)
4. Industrial and Reformatory School (Waialee, Waialua)
5. Industrial and Reformatory School for Girls (Keoneula, Kapalama)
6. Industrial and Reformatory School for Girls (Maunawili, Ko’olaupoko)
7. Industrial and Reformatory School for Girls (Mo’ili’ili, Honolulu)
8. Kamehameha Schools
9. Lahainaluna Seminary
10.Mauna Loa Forestry Camp School
11.Molokai Forestry Camp School
(Federal Indian Boarding Schools Initiative Investigative Report, 2022, 78).
The Report goes on to describe the genealogy of Kamehamehaʻs founding and its status as Federal Indian Boarding School:
So “her own people”303 could once again thrive, the last direct descendant of King Kamehameha I, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, in 1883 left her estate in “trust for a school dedicated to the education and upbringing of Native Hawaiians.” Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop’s will provided for the construction and maintenance of “two schools, each for boarding and day scholars, one for boys and one for girls,”305 “in the Hawaiian Islands, called the Kamehameha Schools, on the Hawaiian monarchy’s ancestral lands,”306 with the purpose of providing “a good education in the common English branches, and also instruction in morals and in such useful knowledge as may tend to make good and industrious men and women.”
In 1888, the Kamehameha School for Boys incorporated a military training program, which the War Department recognized as a military school in 1910. Between 1916 and 2002, under the National Defense Act, Kamehameha Schools participated in the Reserve Officers Training Corp and Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp programs. From 1935 to the early months of World War II, the United States recruited attendees and graduates of the Kamehameha School for Boys to colonize the Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands, first through the Department of Commerce until jurisdiction was transferred to the Department. The Kamehameha Schools continue to benefit Native Hawaiian education today.
Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Investigative Report, 2022, 75.
There is a documented connection between Kamehameha and Indian Boarding Schools – Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua showed that Kamehameha was based in part on an Indian Boarding School. However, when the Report notes that “In 1888, the Kamehameha School for Boys incorporated a military training program, which the War Department recognized as a military school in 1910, ” it elides over distinction between Kamehameha, which was a Kingdom school (as was Lahainaluna, but it became public), and such schools on the US continent. If Kamehameha had a military training program that was in fact connected to the US military, that could only have been because it occurred the year after the Bayonet Constitution, of which the Report makes no mention. And while the Report, with ostensibly good intentions, notes the suppression of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi in schools, glossing over events and institutions pre- and post-overthrow serves to add to the already considerable confusion, or huikau, that exists in such historical genealogies.
