	Big Five (Hawaii) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Big Five is the name given to a group of former sugarcane corporations that wielded considerable political power in the Territory of Hawai‘i and leaned heavily towards the Hawai‘i Republican Party.
		The Big Five was comprised of Castle and Cooke, Alexander and Baldwin, C.
		The extent of the power that the Big Five had could be considered by some as equivalent to an oligarchy.

		Five months before the missionaries appeared, and evidently in response to the loss of pono (perfect harmony in the universe), Ka`ahumanu abandoned the ‘aikapu (literally, the sacred eating, but more widely the defining norms of Hawaiian religion).
		But to get Big Five approval, legislators not only removed cultivated sugar lands from the homestead laws, but with the amendments which came in the following years, large amounts of land originally set aside for Hawaiian homesteading were contracted to plantations for pineapple cultivation.
		Hawaii’s most important union, the ILWU, had deep roots in the sugar economy and at its inception in the islands, it had been vulnerable to red-baiting, a condition which lingered on long after it made any sense.
