Bernice P. Bishop Museum (Bishop Museum), whose extensive related holdings include photo albums, over a hundred photographs, moving images, documents, and, most significantly, logbooks within which the colonists detailed their observations and experiences. Wrote Kamehameha Schools alumni Abraham Pi‘ianaia, who was one of the first Hawaiian colonists: “All we could do was watch with longing eyes, paying tribute to the ship that had been our home for the past 5 days. We watched in silence for several moments, then we all looked at each other with a mixture of sadness and happiness in our eyes. Sad to see our only contact with the world, our homes and friends, getting father away, yet happy to be left by ourselves on this little atoll that we hope will be of great importance someday.” [Baker Island Logbook, June 18, 1936.]
