  • Kalanimoku: Iron Cable of the Hawaiian Kingdom, 1769 –1827
    barbara del piano Kalanimoku: Iron Cable of the Hawaiian Kingdom, 1769 –1827 Every history of Hawai‘i that covers the later years of Kameha­ meha I, the reign of Kamehameha II, and early years of Kamehameha III, that is from 1782 to 1827, refers to the high chief Kalanimoku numerous times. Sea captains and foreigners who visited the Islands or resided in Hawai‘i for periods of time, early American, English, and French missionaries, old and modern writers of history, foreign and Hawaiian, tell of his deeds. Yet the story of Kalanimoku’s life has never been recounted chronologically. This article is an attempt to assemble information from dozens of books, journals, letters, and other documents, into a biographical account of this noteworthy Hawaiian ali‘i, warrior, counselor, states­ man, and entrepreneur. It should be noted that the sources from which this information has been gathered are either in the English language, or English translations of Hawaiian, and therefore present a perspective that might differ from one derived from reading actual texts in the Hawaiian language. Barbara Del Piano was born and raised in Hawai‘i and is a graduate of the University of Hawai‘i. She has authored several books, including Nā Lani Kaumaka, Daughters of Hawai‘i, A Century of Historic Preservation; Emma, Beloved Queen of Hawai‘i; and Outrigger Canoe Club, the First Hundred Years. Her articles have also appeared in a number of locally published periodicals. The Hawaiian Journal of History, vol. 43 (2009) 1 2 the hawaiian journal of history Throughout these writings, Kalanimoku’s name appears with vari­ ous spelling.

I remained [on the 'land] and sought out this Haku of mine [Kekauonohi], who refused to part with it. This was at Hilo.

    N PONO KAI ME N PONO LAWAI‘A– RIGHTS TO OCEAN RESOURCES AND FISHING RIGHTS: LAWS AND DEVELOPMENT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS In pre-western contact Hawai‘i, all ‘"ina (land), kai lawai‘a (fisheries) and natural resources extending from the mountain tops to the depths of the ocean were held in “trust” by the high chiefs (m?‘I, ali‘i ‘ai moku, or ali‘i ‘ai ahupua‘a). The right to use of lands, fisheries, and the resources therein was given to the hoa‘"ina (native tenants) at the prerogative of the ali‘i and their representatives or land agents (often referred to as konohiki or haku ‘"ina). Following a strict code of conduct, which was based on ceremonial and ritual observances, the people of the land were generally able to collect all of the natural resources, including fish—and other marine and aquatic resources—for their own sustenance, and with which to pay tribute to the class of chiefs and priests, who oversaw them. Shortly after the arrival of foreigners in the islands, the western concept pf property rights began to infiltrate the Hawaiian system. While Kamehameha I, who secured rule over all of the islands, granted perpetual interest in select lands and fisheries to some foreign residents, Kamehameha, and his chiefs under him generally remained in control of all resources. Following the death of Kamehameha I in 1819, and the arrival of the Calvinist missionaries in 1820, the concepts of property rights began to evolve under Kamehameha II and his young brother, Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III), who ruled Hawai‘i through the years in which private property rights, including those of fisheries, were developed and codified.
