| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Throughout the research period, the study focused on newspapers, an alternative form of mass media with a longer history than radio, which had initially been considered the primary medium, in order to further develop the core research project on the revitalization of the Hawaiian language and media use. From August 2022 to July 2023, intensive fieldwork was conducted on-site during a stay in the state of Hawaii, USA. Key research outcomes include the publication of papers in both Japanese and English and the organization of events, including an international symposium.

本研究は日本とハワイ王国が関与するテーマで、ハワイ語新聞を一次資料として用いた最初の学術論文を発表した。また、論文をハワイ州に基盤を置く媒体に発表できたことで、先住民研究者たちとの関係構築を深めることができた。社会的意義としては、ハンセン病問題に取り組む福祉団体から寄稿依頼を受けたり、明治期の日本に渡った先住民が治療を受けた医師の子孫とその家族から問い合わせを受けたりとしたこと挙げたい。さらに、国際シンポジウムではハワイ先住民研究者が約20名集い、日本での学術的イベントとしては初のことだった。同グループの滞在中には、閲覧が困難な日布修好通商条約の原本を外交資料館で参照する学術交流も実現した。
