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.

  • Kailua-Kona, Hi
    David Armstrong [email protected] www.cruiseplannerslv.com 702-823-5763 KAILUA-KONA, HI OVERVIEW Introduction The famed Kona coast covers about two-thirds of the western coastline of Hawaii Island—the perfect spot for spectacular sunsets. At the heart of Kona is the town of Kailua-Kona, where many of the area's restaurants and tourist activities are clustered. Along the North Kona and South Kohala coasts, you'll find some of Hawaii's most luxurious resorts. Spend several days exploring Kailua-Kona's historical and cultural attractions, engaging in watersports, deep-sea fishing and diving, or just relaxing on the many spectacular beaches. Perhaps the Kona coast's biggest attraction is its fine, sunny weather—daytime temperatures average in the high 70s F/23-26 C year-round. Sights—Hawaiian history at Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park; King Kamehameha's compound, Kamakahonu, and reconstructed temple, Ahuena Heiau; a view of Kilauea's lava flows from the ground or a helicopter. Museums—Viewing indigenous Hawaiian artifacts at Hulihee Palace and Museum; experiencing coffee growing at the Kona Coffee Living History Farm; learning about the region's agricultural roots at the H.N. Greenwell Store Museum. Memorable Meals—Huggo's for fresh seafood; Merriman's landmark Hawaiian regional cuisine; Teshima's Restaurant in Honalo for satisfying local fare and friendly service; Jackie Ray's for seafood and grilled meats; pack a picnic and watch the sunset on one of Kona's many beaches. Late Night—The Island Breeze Luau at the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel; drinks and dancing at the Mask-querade Bar; refreshing cocktails and light fare at Huggo's on the Rocks.

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.
