Show Origin of Hawaiians Sought. Largely financed by the trustees of the Bernice Pauahl IJishop estate and the Bernice Pauahi Bishop museum, a scientific expedition will leave Hawaii next spring to spend two years in the South seas in an effort to determine the origin of the Polynesian race and to trace its various migrations until Hawaii, the northeastern outpost of Polynesia, was reached. Bernice Pauahi was an Hawaiian princess who married Charles R. Bishop, pioneer Honolulu banker. She once declined an offer of the throne of Hawaii. Her estate, valued at many millions, provides pro-vides revenue for a number of institutions institu-tions designed to promote the interests inter-ests of the native Hawaiians. |
