HAWAII Around 1,500 Years Ago, the Polynesians Arrived and Settled in Hawaii After Navigating the Ocean Using Only the Stars to Guide Them

TOP HISTORY DESTINATIONS: HAWAII Around 1,500 years ago, the Polynesians arrived and settled in Hawaii after navigating the ocean using only the stars to guide them. It wasn’t until 1778, that Europeans discovered the Hawaiian Islands. Within five years, European military technology helped Kamehameha the Great conquer and unify the islands for the first time, establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii. If your students are ready to learn about the hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Kepaniwai, or about how Hawaii was annexed by the United States, Educational Destinations can make your Hawaii history trip rewarding and memorable.

The seaport town of Lahaina served as the capital and center of government for the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1820 until 1845. Maui was also an international whaling center in the 19th century where, at one point, 400 whaling ships visited the island during a single season. On November 26, 1778, explorer Captain James Cook became the first European to see Maui. Cook never set foot on the island, however, because he was unable to find a suitable landing. Kamehameha I invaded Maui in 1790 and fought the Battle of Kepaniwai. It wasn’t until a few years later that he finally subdued Maui. Hāna Ranch, Maui Sites of Interest Kā‘anapali Beach The Kā‘anapali area was once a retreat for the high chiefs of Maui. Along this coast is a cliff called Keka‘a, also known as Black Rock. This sacred site is believed to be a place where souls jump off into the spirit world. ‘Īao Valley State Park The Battle of Kepaniwai was a significant battle in Kamehameha’s unification efforts, upon which his forces defeated Maui’s army, led by the Chief Kahekili.

The pilings that are out there, that you have seen every time you have come here to this beach, are left over from the original pier that was built when the plantation was organized. They were out here in this remote area and they needed to get the sugar to market, and so that was built in order to get the sugar, and whatever else they were growing, to Honolulu to the markets. These (pilings) have been here ever since.

A Brief History of the Hawaiian People
0 A BRIEF HISTORY OP 'Ill& HAWAIIAN PEOPLE ff W. D. ALEXANDER PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM NEW YORK,: . CINCINNATI•:• CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK C.OMPANY Digitized by Google ' .. HARVARD COLLEGELIBRAllY BEQUESTOF RCLANOBUr.ll,' , ,E DIXOII f,'.AY 19, 1936 0oPYBIGRT, 1891, BY AlilBIOAN BooK Co)[PA.NY. W. P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

Father Damien, Hero of the Hawaiian People !
Father Damien, hero of the Hawaiian people ! Open letter to Mrs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, US Representative Tremelo, August 20th, 2020 Dear Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez, For many members of our Father Damien family association, Hawaii is a bit like a second home: by participating in our group tours 'In the footsteps of Damien' or through individual visits to Hawaii and to Molokai, and by the local contacts that are maintained there. We are also very much interested in Hawaiian history, for an understanding of the world in which Damien – Kamiano for native Hawaiians – successfully integrated himself. Like many Belgians – fellow countrymen of Damien, who in 2005 elected him as 'Greatest Belgian' for his achievements at the other side of the world – we got a shock when reading in the newspaper that you chose, amongst the 102 statues in the U.S. Capitol’s National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, the one of our relative Father Damien as a ‘typical example of white colonialism, patriarchy and white supremacist culture'; with the suggestion why in his place doesn’t stand the only and last queen of Hawaii, Lili'uokalani. At the same time, we had a 'déjà vu' feeling: in the years after Damien's death (1889), several attempts were made to criticize his work, deny his achievement and destroy his legacy; mostly by envious colleagues and local superiors with whom Damien had collided by his stubbornness. The very last attack dates back to 130 years ago : it was a letter by a certain Reverend Doctor Hyde addressed to the Bishop of Honolulu, in which he depicted Damien as ‘coarse, dirty, headstrong and bigoted, who had no hand in the reforms and improvements’ and decried the ‘extravagant newspaper laudations as if he was a most saintly philanthropist’.

MAUI: the MAGIC ISLE Stand Above a Sea of Clouds High Atop Haleakala
MAUI: THE MAGIC ISLE Stand above a sea of clouds high atop Haleakala. Watch a 45- foot whale breach off the coast of Lahaina. Lose count of the waterfalls along the road as you maneuver the hairpin turns of the Hana highway. One visit and it’s easy to see why Maui is called “The Magic Isle.” The second largest Hawaiian island has a smaller population than you’d expect, making Maui popular with visitors who are looking for sophisticated diversions and amenities in the small towns and airy resorts spread throughout the island. From the scenic slopes of fertile Upcountry Maui to beaches that have repeatedly been voted among the best in the world, a visit to the Magic Isle recharges the senses. But like every good magic trick, you’ll have to see it for yourself to believe it. YOUR FIRST TRIP TO MAUI The thought of lying on sun soaked beaches regularly named “the best” by travel magazines is enough to make any of your friends jealous. But once you arrive on Maui, you’ll see there’s so much more for them to envy. Most flights arrive at Maui’s main airport, Kahului Airport (OGG). Many airlines fly direct to Maui while others include Maui as a stopover. You’ll find resorts and hotels of every size and budget in Kapalua, Kaanapali, Lahaina, Kihei, Makena and Wailea on the sunny western coast as well as one resort in Hana in East Maui. It’s about a 45-minute drive from Kahului Airport to Lahaina. Once you’ve settled in you’ll want to explore Maui’s sweeping canvas of attractions.
