He needed to be clever in order to outsmart the other ali’i on the other islands. An example of Kamehameha’s intelligence is he kept the Kapu System, but expanded it (12). This system was a good idea because it was a set of rules of what people could and could not do. People who broke the kapu (law) would be punished with death or sacrificed to the gods. This stayed the same after the unification of Hawaii. Another example of Kamehameha’s brilliance is he taxed the ships when they came into the harbor (28). This was an appropriate tax because other nations were also doing the same. This tax went into effect after the unification of Hawaii as it was a good source of money for the

Unfortunately, after reigning over Hawaii for 9 productive years, Lot became ill and bedridden. Then, on his 42nd birthday, he sent for his Bernice Pauahi Bishop to ask her to be his successor, she politely declined. A few moments before he died, he said, “it is hard to die on my birthday”, and those by his side told him not to think such thoughts, but he alas said “God's will be done!” And then, at 10:20am, Lot Kapuaiwa Kalanimakua Ali'iolani Kalani Kapuapaikalaninui, or King Kamehameha V, passed away. This tragic loss left Hawaii without a named heir, the legislature would now have to decide who the new monarch should

The Hawaiian Islands are well known for their beauty, tranquility, and unique culture that have shaped this state into what we see today. The special bond that the natives have formed between themselves and nature is not exactly one of a kind, but it is something that can truly be admired. Around approximately 300 AD, Hawaii was discovered by Polynesians who arrived by canoe from Tahiti. These migrants brought their polytheistic spirituality and formed a large intricate society with hierarchies consisting of many chiefs. Alongside the ruling of the chiefs, the newborn Hawaiians followed a strict belief system known as Kapu akua otherwise known as the “law of the gods”. The Kapu was a strict set of rules and restraints that dictated all

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.

Kamehameha IV and V’s reign maintained strained relations between the western subjects and the native’s, due to their distrust and concern of the power the growing western elite class possessed on the Islands.

For example, Kamehameha would take a great part in helping the maka’ainana recover from all the battles that have happened by working with them in the taro patches and fish ponds (23). Captain Archibald Campbell stated that Kamehameha was helping the maka’ainana not only because his humbleness, but also to set a good example for his people. Kamehameha was still considerate towards others after the unification of Hawai’i because he made several kapu to benefit the needs of the maka’ainana. For example, Kamehameha placed a kapu on foreign animals to make sure that their food supply didn’t run out

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,

Kamehameha the Great was a remarkable leader who was born and raised in secrecy because of complications until his early teenage years, where he was accepted back into his community. Kamehameha was raised to become a skillful warrior with perspective. This became useful to Kamehameha when war had broken out. The ali’is of Hawai’i raced to claim control over the islands. By the end of the sparring, Kamehameha’s enemies had either been annihilated in war, offered as a sacrifice, or claimed by nature—except for Kaumauali’i of Kauai. However, instead of battling for dominance over Hawai’i, the two leaders came to a consensus and Hawai’i was given peace for the first time in years. During his rule, Kamehameha—with the help

Kamehameha was the nephew of Kalani’opu’u. He also ruled over the island of Hawai’i, but was not next in line to be a high chief of any island.

The last Queen of Hawaii, Queen Liliuokalani, initially named Lydia Kamakaeha had a huge impact on Hawaii. Lydia was the daughter of Caesar Kapaakea and Analea Keohokalole. She later on became a Hanai child, a tradition in which a royal family adopts the child in order to secure a higher rank for that child (Queen Liliuokalani, 2015). Her foster parents were Abner Paki and Laura Konia. She spent most of her time with her step-sister, Bernice. However, she was constantly reminiscing and upset about leaving home.
