  • King Kamehameha I C
    Name _____________________________ Class _________________ Date __________________ Entering the World Stage Biography King Kamehameha I c. 1758–1819 WHY HE MADE HISTORY King Kamehameha I unified the Hawaiian islands and resisted colonization by westerners. As you read the biography below, think about the ways in which a king can provide unity to a people. How is Hawaii different today from the time when it was ruled by a king and queen? By the late 1800s many Americans felt it was time for Bettmann/CORBIS © the United States to claim territories abroad. They turned their attention toward Hawaii. Situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii was a desirable location for many western countries. Not only was it an ideal spot for naval bases, it offered numerous opportunities for trade. However, Hawaii’s king, Kamehameha I, wanted to ensure that the islands remained independent. King Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha the Great, was born between 1748 and 1761 in Kohala, Hawaii. Legend has it that a comet had been seen in the sky, and Hawaii’s kahunas (priests) believed the comet was a sign that the mightiest ruler in the history of Hawaii was going to be born. The reigning king, Alapai, believed the prophecy referred to his nephew’s coming birth. Viewing the baby as a threat, Alapai ordered the baby to be killed at birth. Instead, when the baby was born, his mother named him Kamehameha, the Lonely One, and sent him to live with another family. Five years later, Alapai had a change of heart and allowed Kamehameha to come home.

  • 06-11-1872 Kamehameha Day.Indd
    This Day in History… June 11, 1872 Kamehameha Day On June 11, 1872, Hawaii celebrated its first Kamehameha Day, in honor of the king who united the Kingdom of Hawaii. On December 22, 1871, Kamehameha V proclaimed June 11 to be Kamehameha Day in honor of his grandfather. In addition to honoring his grandfather, the holiday was meant as a replacement for Hawaiian Sovereignty Restoration Day, which was unpopular among the king and his ministers. The first Kamehameha Day was held on June 11, 1872. The celebrations that year and in years to come included carnivals, fairs, foot races, horse races, and bicycle races. One of the most important rituals of the celebration was first instituted in 1901 – the draping ceremony. In this ceremony, long strands of lei were draped on prominent statues of Kamehameha in Hawaii as well as at the US Capitol. When Hawaii became a US state in 1959, Kamehameha Day was one of the first holidays the governor and state legislature proclaimed. Kamehameha Day is still celebrated today. The day includes many traditional Hawaiian events, paying respect to the cultural traditions Kamehameha fought to preserve. Among the A 1937 stamp picturing the Kamehameha statue events is the King Kamehameha Hula Competition, which draws hula groups from around the in Honolulu. world. Floral parades are also held throughout Hawaii. They include marching bands and beautifully designed floats covered in native plants and flowers. After the parade, the celebrations continue with a block party including arts and crafts, games, sports, and other events. King Kamehameha According to legend a great leader would be born who would reign over all the islands upon the sighting of a bright star.

  • The Kamehameha Statue
    The Kamehameha Statue Jacob Adler In the Hawaiian legislature of 1878, Walter Murray Gibson, then a freshman member for Lahaina, Maui, proposed a monument to the centennial of Hawaii's "discovery" by Captain James Cook. Gibson said in part: Kamehameha the Great "was among the first to greet the discoverer Cook on board his ship in 1778 . and this Hawaiian chief's great mind, though [he was] a mere youth then, well appreciated the mighty changes that must follow after the arrival of the white strangers." After reviewing the hundred years since Cook, Gibson went on: And is not this history at which we have glanced worthy of some commemoration? All nations keep their epochs and their eras. ... By commemorating notable periods, nations renew as they review their national life. Some would appreciate a utilitarian monument, such as a prominent light- house; others, a building for instruction or a museum; and I highly appreciate the utilitarian view, yet I am inclined to favor a work of art. And what is the most notable event, and character, apart from discovery, in this century, for Hawaiians to com- memorate? What else but the consolidation of the archipelago by the hero Kamehameha? The warrior chief of Kohala towers far above any other one of his race in all Oceanica. Therefore . lift up your hero before the eyes of the people, not only in story, but in everlasting bronze.1 The legislature appropriated $10,000, and appointed a committee to choose the monument and carry out the work: Walter M. Gibson, chairman; Archibald S.

K. Oldroyd English Department Bachelor of Arts This thesis offers an exploration of the Hawaiian Iconoclasm of 1819 through the lens of an historical fiction novella. The thesis consists of two parts: a critical introduction outlining the theoretical background and writing process and the novella itself. 1819 was a year of incredible change on Hawaiian Islands. Kamehameha, the Great Uniter and first monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, had recently died, thousands of the indigenous population were dying, and foreign powers were arriving with increasing frequency, bringing with them change that could not be undone.

  • Hawaiian Mission Children Named After Ali'ì
    Hawaiian Mission Children Named After Ali‘ì “I was born in the ‘Old Mission House’ in Honolulu on the 5th day of July, 1831. When I was but a few hours old, ‘Kīna’u,’ the Premier, came into the bedroom with her crowd of ‘kahus,’ took me into her arms and said that she wanted to adopt me, as she had no girl of her own.” “My mother, in her weak state, was terribly agitated, knowing that the missionaries were unpopular and entirely dependent on the good-will of the natives, so feared the consequences of a denial. They sent for my father in haste, who took in the state of affairs at a glance.” “’We don’t give away our children,’ he said to Kīna’u. ‘But you are poor, I am rich, I give you much money,’ replied the Chiefess. ‘No, you can’t have her,’ my father answered firmly. Kīna’u tossed me angrily down on the bed and walked away, leaving my poor mother in a very anxious frame of mind.” (Wilder; Wight) “She accordingly went away in an angry and sullen mood, and was not heard from until the infant was being christened a few weeks later, when she again appeared, elbowed the father to one side, and exclaimed in the haughtiest of tones, ‘Call the little baby Kīna’u.’” “Fearing that a second refusal would result disastrously, the parents agreed, and the child was accordingly christened Elizabeth Kīna’u Judd.” (The Friend, May 1912) Kīna’u “seemed somewhat appeased after the (christening) ceremony, and, as I was the first white girl she had ever seen, deigned from that time on to show a great interest in me, either visiting me or having me visit her every day.” (Wright, Wight) Kīna’u, daughter of Kamehameha I, became a Christian in 1830.

  • Chiefs-Childrens-School-Hale-Kula
    Hale Kula Ali‘i Hale Kula Ali‘i, the Chiefs’ Children’s School (later called the Royal School), was created by King Kamehameha III; the main goal of this school was to groom the next generation of the highest-ranking chief's children of the realm and secure their positions for Hawaii's Kingdom. Seven families were eligible under succession laws stated in the 1840 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i; Kamehameha III called on seven boys and seven girls of his family to board in the Chief’s Children’s School. In 1839, King Kamehameha III, Hoapili and Kekāuluohi (mother of William Charles Lunalilo, who became the Kuhina Nui or regent of the Hawaiian Kingdom) signed a letter asking missionaries to run the Chiefs’ Children’s School. (The letter (in Hawaiian) is on the following page.) It translates to: Greetings to all of you, the teachers, Heed this all of you, all teachers. We are asking for Mr. Cooke to be a teacher for our chiefly children. He will be the instructor for the royal children. Also Dr. Judd, to take care of the chiefly children. For we are securing Dr. Judd for the good of the children and to resolve any difficulties between us and all of you. Kamehameha III Hoapili Kekāuluohi In a missionary general meeting, “This subject was fully considered in connection with an application of the chiefs requesting the services of Mr. Cooke, as a teacher for their children; and it was voted, That the mission comply with their request, provided they will carry out their promise to Mr.

  • The King Kamehameha I Statue Conservation Project Case Study
    The Kamehameha I Statue Conservation Project Case Study: Hawai’i Alliance for Arts Education PAM KORZA PREFACE On the island of Hawai’i, residents of the rural region of Kohala deliberated how best to conserve a statue of King Kamehameha I, a hero revered as the indigenous unifier of the T H Hawai’ian islands and native son to Kohala. Should the statue be restored to the mainland E KI artist’s original intent of gilded bronze, or should it be re-painted in life-like colors, thereby continuing a longstanding community tradition? Through the respectful collaboration of the NG KA Hawai’i Alliance for Arts Education, conservator Glenn Wharton, and Kohala community leaders and cultural practitioners, a multiplicity of gatherings and activities were designed to engage local ME residents in the decision-making process. Drawing upon both indigenous Hawai’ian and H A Western ways of community engagement and exchange, activities included: hula ki’i (image dance MEHA puppetry), informal one-on-one “talk story,” consultation with kupuna (elders), community meetings, a high school debate with public forum, and an opinion ballot. Arts education activities facilitated by the Hawai’i Alliance for Arts Education encouraged participation by hundreds of I ST young people as well as adults. A T UE The statue of Kamehameha was restored and the tradition of painting it upheld through an C uncommon approach to sculpture conservation that engaged and empowered the entire O N community. Native and long-time residents participated, many who previously would not have S E come forward. Exploring the question of whether to paint or gild the statue deepened R understanding of Hawai’ian history and connection to cultural identity and traditions.
