Another example of Ken Conklin's deception

From Paul Arrighi:

"Ken Conklin posted a commentary on an article saying that "ohana" was a recent creation and when Lana Robbins provided proof that ohana has been in use for well over 120 years, Conklin's response is a lame, maybe the person who wrote the article did not have access to this information. A honest assessment would be to admit that the article was wrong but Conklin because of his prejudice or whatever reason is unable to bring himself to say this."

A little background:


This is what Ken Conklin wrote about the Hawaiian word "ohana." Note that he amended it but he does not reflect the fact that Lana Robbins pointed it out to him that "Ohana" has been in Hawaiian language papers as early as 1834 which proves that "ohana" is NOT a modern invention as he inaccurately claims on his website here inaccurately asserting that the Hawaiian word "ohana" was created in about 1950 when it was not:

Then Lana Robbins showed that the Hawaiian word "ohana" is shown being used as early as in 1834 NOT in 1950 which Ken Conklin tries to deceptively lead people to believe:

This is reflected here:

In it the editor states:

"Editor's note


Lana Ululani Robbins found references to the word "ohana" in old olelo newspapers online, circa 1831 and forward. It is quite possible that the information she uncovered was not available to the original writer of the article referenced below."

It is easy for people to see the deception of Ken Conklin.


Again... the Hawaiian word "ohana" is clearly seen in a Hawaiian newspaper dated as early as in 1834 which is clearly NOT a modern invention as Conklin inaccurately and deceptively claims.


The writers could have easily checked out this information. Especially Kenneth Conklin PhD aka Ken Conklin PhD. He has a PhD in the Philosophy of Education yet he FAILED to do thorough research. Instead he published it and has been caught by Lana Robbins.


In conclusion... it is clear that Conklin tries to deceive people in order to try to spread his racism against Hawaiians based on their national origin.
