It was an Easter blessing to host a tour of the 100th Infantry Battalion Clubhouse with organizations promoting peace. Mahalo to José Barzola – University of Hawaii at Manoa Conflict and Peace Specialist, for introducing us to representatives from the Japan-America Society of Hawaii (JASH) and Spark M. Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
We welcomed two visiting high school students from Hiroshima, Japan, who are part of the inaugural Hawaiʻi Heiwa (Peace) Scholarship (HHS) program. Through this program, the students learn about World War II history, Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese American experience.
We were happy to share the stories of the 100th Infantry Battalion to the HHS students and coordinator from Hiroshima, and had a wonderful time participating in a bilingual presentation and discussion on the complex situations faced by the American soldiers of Japanese ancestry from Hawaiʻi during World War II. We also spoke of ways to collaborate in the future for better understanding, sharing and communication toward conflict resolution and peace.
JASH was founded “to promote understanding and friendship between the people of Japan and the United States through the special and unique perspective of Hawaiʻi.”
The Matsunaga Institute is dedicated to honoring the memory of United States Senator Spark M. Matsunaga (100th Infantry Battalion, Dog Company veteran), and implementing his hope that “every student enrolled in Hawaii’s public university system will be exposed to peace studies.”
We are grateful to these organizations for the opportunity to include the 100th Infantry Battalion and its post-war veterans club history as a portion of this program.

"Peace Education and Social Development in Cambodia" on Tuesday, April 30 from 3:00-4:30pm HST
Location: Hamilton Library, Room: 306 or via zoom.
Zoom registration at https://hawaii.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OGH8pdxXTxmjnOSyZ0Aqqg #/registration
Description: Central to Cambodia's journey of reconciliation is the enduring role of Buddhism, a cornerstone of Cambodian identity and resilience. Throughout the dark days of the Khmer Rouge regime, Buddhism served as a beacon of hope amidst the chaos, offering solace and strength to a beleaguered populace. One remarkable manifestation of this ethos is the transformative power of grassroots mobilization, transcending boundaries of ethnicity, religion, and ideology to foster dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation led by venerable monks and dedicated activists. In the aftermath of conflict, the imperative of post-conflict reconciliation looms large, beckoning Cambodia towards a future built upon the pillars of compassion and understanding. Three distinguished Cambodian monks, Dr. Kou Sopheap, Hak Sienghai, and Theavy Sok will offer their perspectives on the Cambodian experience and the principles of Buddhist activism in the pursuit of reconciliation. They will also impart teachings on developing inner resilience to navigate the challenges of the past and embrace the potential of the future.

In this searching conversation, two internationally renowned experts on and advocates for Indigenous cultures and sustainability in Papua New Guinea will discuss the evolution of conservation across the Pacific. In looking toward an Indigenous future of environmental management, they see a reconnection of people to place, a transfer of resources from carbon-producing and former colonial powers, more robust knowledge sharing between environmental scientists and traditional ecosystem stewards, and, not least, greater respect for the Pacific’s Indigenous communities. If Oceania is to survive the climate crisis, they contend, environmental solutions have to be equitable, collaborative, and local.

"The Saigon Sisters: Vietnamese Women Offer Insights into Peace" with author Patricia D. Norland and moderated by José Barzola
Thursday, September 21 at 12 pm Hawaii time
Register at https://saigon.eventbrite.com.
The Story
While 30,000 books have been written about war in Vietnam, few are by Vietnamese and fewer still by Vietnamese women. As military historian Thomas Ricks asks, "How much longer will American scholars try to understand the Vietnam War while largely disregarding the views of the victors?" (5/30/21 NYT book review) The Saigon Sisters: Privileged Women in the Resistance helps fill that void by presenting the views of women who joined the anti-French resistance in the 1940s and fight for independence through the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. An oral biography, The Saigon Sisters presents women's stories in their own words.
