Rubellite Kawena Kinney Johnson is a Historian of Hawaii.
Life
Her father was Ernest Kaipoleimanu Kinney (1906–1987) and mother was Esther Kauikeaulani Kaʻulili (1913–1979). Her maternal grandparents were Solomon Kamaha Kaʻulili and Kawena Ah Chong. Her paternal grandparents were William Kihapiʻilani Kinney (1868–1953) and Mary Francesca Vierra (c. 1879–1915).[1] She was named for the mineral rubellite which is more commonly called tourmaline. Her grandfather was also known as K. W. Kinney[2] to avoid confusion with his half-brother William Ansel Kinney who became a prominent lawyer.[3] Another of her grandfather's half-brothers, Ray Kinney (1900–1979), became a popular Hawaiian musician.[4] She was born on the island of Kauaʻi.[5]
From 1967 to 1993 she was on the faculty of the University of Hawaii, where she helped establish its Hawaiian studies program. She then became Professor Emeritus of Hawaiian Language and Literature and continued to publish. She researched the history of the Kumulipo, a sacred chant of Hawaiian mythology, and early newspapers in the Hawaiian language.[6]
She was selected as an advisory committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights for Hawaiian sovereignty issues. She generally opposes the Akaka Bill.[7]
