<title>Changes in Decision-Making in a Displaced Micronesian Community</title>
<link>http://hdl.handle.net/10125/22416</link>
<description>"In 1957, after a decade of studying the changing culture of the ex- Bikini Marshallese, I predicted the democratization of their traditional authority patterns and the fractionation of matrilineal groupings whoae corporate holdings of land on Bikini had validated the exercise of power in management of community affairs. 1 also detected at that time certain trends in education, agricultural&#13;
production, mission activity, end outmarriage which appeared likely to support&#13;
such changes in the power structure on Kili Island, the residence then and now of this displaced community.&#13;
This past summer, six years later. I was quite unprepared to discover that although living standards have improved markedly and although a notable  broadening of world view has been achieved, the power structure in actual operation reflects spectacularly those authoritarian, lineage-based traditions formerly operative on Bikini. The main purpose of this paper will be to suggest in a&#13;
tentative analysis of my 1963 field data some explanation for the unexpected&#13;
development. Particular attention will be paid to the process by which decisions&#13;
affecting the whole community are reached." (Quoted from introduction.)

<title>Republic of The Marshall Islands (1988)</title>
<link>http://hdl.handle.net/10125/22414</link>
<description>"This paper on The Republic of the Marshall Islands was prepared by Dr: Leonard Mason. Dr. Mason was involved in collecting basic data on the Marshall  Islands during the war years when he was a graduate student at Yale University. He became the first American anthropologist to work in the Marshalls when he conducted a post-war economic survey. Currently an emeritus Professor of anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Dr. Mason still maintains a high level of involvement with the Marshall Islands." (Quoted from foreword)

<title>Rongerik Report 1948</title>
<link>http://hdl.handle.net/10125/22412</link>
<description>"The Bikinians, having resided for nearly two years on Rongerik Atoll, were discovered to be in an extreme state of impoverishment, due to the exhaustion of local food resources, and to the failure of the former Civil Administrator at Kwajalein to assess the true nature of a situation which had been developing within the past year. There was no indication of negligence on the part of the native population for the existing state of affairs.&#13;
Removal from Rongerik Atoll is recommended as soon as possible. (Already, the Bikinians have been temporarily removed to Kwajalein, and are being maintained on an emergency basis until selection of a final site is made. The present Civil Administration at Kwajalein could rot have acted more quickl,y than they did, when a verbal report from me apprised them of the seriousness of the situation at Rongerik.)" (Quoted from introductory summary)

<title>MANUSCRIPT P00016: Ponape / [translated from the German by Elizabeth A. Murphy and Ruth E. Runeborg]</title>
<link>http://hdl.handle.net/10125/21732</link>
<description>Typescript of translation with photocopies of the German text. Never published. Gifts of Dr. Robert Kiste and Ms. Elizabeth A. Murphy have been combined to create files of the translations and materials used for the translations. A final English language transcription was compiled from these files, bound in three volumes and added to the Pacific Collection holdings under call number DU568.P7 H35 1983; it is recommended that researchers access the bound volumes first, as they are considered to be the completed translations. This manuscript collection in essence documents the translation process, and includes previous draft translations.
Materials in this collection must be requested using a manual request form, which is available at the Hawaiian &amp; Pacific Collections reference desk. Manuscript materials are made available for use Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; items requested from this collection may not be immediately available for use, as they must be retrieved from the Pacific Collection's rare holdings area.
