North Kohala Public Library in Kapaau will host a “talk story” session about Hawaii’s history with North Kohala historian Boyd D. Bond at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 30.
The talk, “Kamehameha III, King in a time of transition,” will focus on the life of Hawaii’s longest-ruling monarch and the many changes that came to islands during his reign. This is the third and final talk story session in the winter Hawaiian history series at the North Kohala library.
Bond’s knowledge of Hawaii’s history stems from his academic studies and from a lifetime spent in Hawaii as a sixth-generation descendent of early Western settlers. Bond was raised in Hawaii in a sugar plantation family, living on plantations throughout the state.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Hawaiian history from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and went on to earn a masters degree in education.
