Ho How They Got There?

In the beginning, Hawaii was unknown to any humans. Polynesians eventually came across its islands, and decided to make it their home. In the early days, each island was ruled by a chief, and many times the islands were in conflict with each other. Centuries like this passed, but then "in 1782, [Queen Lili'uokalani's] cousin Kamehameha set out to conquer and unite the islands". Thirteen years later, in 1795, Kamehameha

In the time frame of 1782 – 1790 Kamehameha goes into battle at Moku`ohai with Kiwala`o's brother Keoua, Kiwala`o, and their uncle Keawemauhili. Kamehameha's ally Ke`eaumoku, kills Kiwala`o; Keoua and Keawemauhili escape and go back to Ka`u and Hilo. The Iphigenia then visits Kealakekua. On the ship is Kaua`i chief, Ka`iana, who allies himself with Kamehameha. Kamehameha then wins control of Maui at the Battle of Kepaniwai. Upon the arrival at Kahului, Kamehameha chases away Maui’s warriors and chiefs into `Iao Valley. Kalola, a high chiefess and Keopuolani, her granddaughter, escape to Olowalu and Lahaina with other chiefs right over the

Hawaii’s short story had many important events one including the Great Mahele or the great land division. The Mahele was the division of Hawaii’s land that altered the Hawaiian lifestyle permanently never returning. According to Star Advertiser, the Mahele in place in 1848, the land divided into four categories, consisting of land owned by the king, ali’i, land set aside to purchase, and land worked by the maka’ainana. At the time, foreigners living in Hawaii was frequent, as many stayed for the “paradise lifestyle,” but as time went on, possessing land seemed as it should be legal and allowed. In Hawaii, natives believed that the land did not belong to people, but the land belonged to the gods and they thought the foreigners way of thinking was bizarre. However, Kamehameha III had a different perspective on this idea, for he wanted to ensure that no hostile takeovers or wars would break out if the foreigners were being neglected (Borreca). The Mahele did not benefit the Hawaiians because the interaction of foreigners left the Hawaiians with little

In conclusion, the Na’vi in Avatar and the Aboriginal peoples have had similar circumstances and have similar views but their stories ended differently. The conflicts between the Aboriginal peoples and the Europeans

In 1587 a group of men, women, and children led by Sir John White set sail for America and landed on a North Carolina island called Roanoke (Shirley

Kamaunuaniho, daughter and wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku and Hina, daughter and sister of Kamaunuaniho and second wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku, sailed on the red canoe they inherited from Haumealani, the first wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku, to the island of Oahu. It was a kapu made by ʻOlopana, King of Oahu island that no “canoe could” “land, because all of the Oʻahu shorelines were made” (Kameʻeleihiwa 8) off-limits. ʻOlopana made all the shores off limits so no predators to his ruling could threaten his reign. However, his trusted guards let down their shield to the presence of these women because of their observations of such beauty sailing on a special red canoe. For these guards knew that a chiefess were standing before them. Hina’s status, purity, and beauty spared her life and Kamaunuaniho’s as they were brought to King ʻOlopana and became his wāhine. These events can easily be compared to the arrival of Captain Cooke. Cooke’s sails were large and white on a boat in similar appearance to a huge canoe just like the god, Lono whose arrival was said to be soon. The advisors of the King of the Island said to kill Cooke warning the king that he would take everything from them. However, just like ʻOlopana, he oversaw Cooke’s arrival and Cooke

Once the Sioux figured out that they now had a chance to push the Ponca’s out of Indian Territory, that’s just what they did. They took their crops, horses, and gave many threats towards them. The third most famous war called the Great Sioux war began in 1876. Although the U.S. government had won the war, it still didn’t mean they would stop pleasing the Sioux. The U.S. government gave what was left of the Ponca land to the Sioux. The treaty they made with the Ponca’s was completely broken. They cheated the Ponca Indians, and they were furious. In January 1877, Edward C. Kemble asked the Ponca’s to let him speak during church service. He told them that the government had given their fields and farm to the Sioux for a greater purpose. He also told them that they be getting new virgin lands in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). By this time the there only 738 Ponca Indians in the tribe, which meant they were not much of a force to the federal government.

They were taking their natural resources therefore a group of Aborigines launched a series of attack on the settlers.

November 29, 1847 the confluence of the Columbia and Walla Walla Rivers in Oregon, disaster strikes! The Cayuse tribe raids Whitman mission killing and capturing what seemed to be innocent lives. This results in war between the Cayuse tribe and the white people. Perhaps I should back it up a bit, if you want to know how this disaster started and ended, please keep reading.

In Hawaii, changes were going by fast as the population of the foreigners increasing and land being in demand, so because of this, the Great Mahele of 1848 occurred also known as the Land Division. King Kamehameha III divided the land between three groups. These three groups were, kings, alii, and the people living on the island such as the foreigners, makaainana, and commoners. The foreigners wanted more land because they believed that more land more power and because of this, most of the hawaiians had a hard time or struggled to survive (Mahele Notes). The Great Mahele of 1848 was unjustified because of all the things that occurred to the hawaiians and the result.

The Powhatan’s attacked 30 different towns along the James River leaving them in shock and fright. We have since learned that the new chief of Powhatan’s tribe, Chief Opechancanough has lead these attacks on the English. We believe he is going all the way with this fight because the English murdered his brother Powhatan.

The Cayuse War is a War form the Whitmans (whites)/settlers and the Cayuse (indians). It took place in Oregon territory and Oregon country , on November 1847,29 through 1855. The war had quite a bit of causes for it to start. They weren't bad conflicts either. The indians did not kill a lot of settlers but held hostage quite a bit. The bad thing about this war was the deaths .

In Hawaii, changes were going by fast as the population of the foreigners increasing and land being in demand, so because of this, the Great Mahele of 1848 occurred also known as the Great Land Division. King Kamehameha III originally divided the land between three groups, kings, ali’i, and the makaainana. This happened because King Kamehameha III didn't want the foreigners to take the land by force (Borreca). The land later on was divided into even more groups and the foreigners were interested in the land. They would take advantage by starting currency in Hawaii, and because of this, most of the Hawaiians had a hard time or struggled to survive (Cachola). The Great Mahele of 1848 was unjustified because the land was taken away by foreigners,

Improper surveys were made on Hawaiians lands by surveyors and their premises was very much lessened, so they lost a lot of land that they worked on and raised crops. After the Hawaiians lost their land the foreigners raised the price of land, and the Hawaiians could no longer afford to have land. Very quickly the Hawaiians started to lose all their land to foreigners and they had no land to live on or to work on, and they were living without enough food and resources. From this many Hawaiians had to scavenge for food for themselves and family, they also had to find materials to rebuild houses that they lost, when the land was

The Waikato Wars (1863-1864) were a component of the New Zealand Wars which were active from 1845 to 1872. The wars have also commonly been known as the ‘Maori Wars’ or the ‘Land Wars’. During these wars there was a huge divide in society. Many people debate whether these wars were over land or sovereignty. The New Zealand wars were a series of individual battles between the higher government and various Maori tribes.
