The Great Islands Of Hawaii There Was A Prophecy Foretold By One Of The Highest Ranking Kapunas

In my opinion, reading 1 (Hawaii: The Land of Many) is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii in the 1800s. I would suggest using reading 1 because it talks about the entire history, as opposed to reading 2 which talks about the shutting down of the plantations today. This reading teaches the reader about the sugar plantations and the life of the laborers that worked on these sugar plantations. Reading 1 states that the sugar industry boomed in the 1800s which caused the need of plantation workers. They had recruits different countries that lived on the plantation. Laborers had to sign a contract saying they would work for a certain amount of time. Plantation supervisors whipped those

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

The kami are spirits. Be that as it may, more than spirits they are the quintessence of things. They are the middle people amongst paradise and earth, they adjust.

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

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

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”.

Kamehameha won this battle, and took over Mau’i. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was wise and committed. He cared about his people and was very committed with his work.

Marshall Sahlins stated that Cook was seen as the god Lono during the celebration of the Makahiki festival taking place at the time of Cook’s visit. Gananath Obeyesekere, in his noted work, The Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the Pacific, argues
