A BRIEF HISTORY OF HAWAI`I

We call ourselves Kanaka Maoli.
We are the original people of Hawai`i who have inhabited these islands since time immemorial.
The population of the Archipelago of Hawai`i is estimated to have numbered in the hundreds of thousands when Europeans first arrived in 1778. At that time, the Kanaka Maoli lived in a "highly organized, self-sufficient, subsistent social system based on communal land tenure with a sophisticated language, culture, and religion." (US Public Law 103-150)

The arrival of explorers and later missionaries began a catastrophic chain of events that nearly destroyed the Kanaka Maoli culture. Foreign exploitation forced the Kanaka Maoli to radically alter their spiritual and societal relationships. It challenged their traditional customs, beliefs, and practices, and led to the dislocation of the people from the land that had sustained their ancestors from the time of origin. Within one hundred years from the time of contact, the population of Kanaka Maoli had been reduced by over 90%, to less than 40,000 people.

Kanaka Maoli had shared their land with each other, and had no idea of privately owning part of Papa, the Earth Mother. In 1848, however, the Western concept of land ownership was implemented in the "Great Mahele" with the influence of foreign business interests, and the land was divided for private and foreign ownership for the first time. This act disenfranchised the majority of Kanaka Maoli, placing them in the dire circumstance of being landless in their homeland.

Despite foreign subjugation of the original culture, the surviving Kanaka Maoli adapted well and excelled as a people and a nation. For example, in two generations from the establishment of a written language, Hawai`i had the highest literacy rate of any country in the world. From 1826 until 1893, the United States "recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii, extended full and complete diplomatic recognition to the Hawaiian Government, and entered into treaties and conventions with the Hawaiian monarchs to govern commerce and navigation." (US Public Law 103-150)

Then in 1893 the internationally recognized independent Kingdom of Hawai`i was illegally overthrown with American support, and the sovereignty of the people was stolen.

These historic facts are now considered acts of war and genocide.

Answer 6

Google "Hawaii history" or visit a library.You need to be specific about what you want to know about Hawaii.

Answer 7

Anthropologists believe that Polynesians from the Marquesas and possibly the Society Islands first populated the Hawaiian Islands at some time between 300 and 1000 AD. There is a great deal of dispute regarding these dates.

Archaeologists and historians also differ as to whether there were one or two waves of colonization. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was believed that there was an early settlement from the Marquesas, and a later wave of immigrants from Tahiti, circa 1300, who were said to have introduced a new line of high chiefs and the practice of human sacrifice. This later immigration is detailed in folk tales about Paao (Pāʻao). However, later authors have argued that there is no archaeological or linguistic evidence whatsoever for a later influx of Tahitian settlers and that Pa'ao must be regarded as a myth. Since there are still many supporters of the Pa'ao narrative, this topic is still hotly disputed.

Leaving aside the question of Pa'ao, historians agree that the history of the islands was marked by a slow but steady growth in population and the size of chiefdoms, which grew to encompass whole islands. Local chiefs, called alii (aliʻi), ruled their settlements and fought to extend their sway and defend their communities from predatory rivals. This was conducted in a system of alii of various ranks somewhat similar to Feudalism. Warfare was endemic.


[edit] European contact
The 1778 arrival of British explorer Captain James Cook is usually taken to be the "discovery" of the Hawaiian islands by European explorers. Cook plotted and published the geographical coordinates of the Hawaiian Islands, so that they could be found again. Cook named his discovery the Sandwich Islands in honor of one of his sponsors, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, and reported the native name as Owyhee. This is also the reason for the existance of the British Overseas Territory of the South Sandwich Islands near Argentina, as opposed to the Hawaiian ones.

Some writers have claimed that there were European visitors before Cook, citing Hawaiian legends and references in some Spanish chronicles in support of their argument. While it is possible that there were earlier visitors, this is not accepted as fact by most historians. [citation needed]

Cook visited the Hawaiian islands twice. The second visit ended badly for him, when he was killed on the sands of Kealakekua Bay in 1779. He had attempted to abduct a Hawaiian chief and hold him as ransom for return of a ship's boat that was stolen by a different mischievous minor chief; the chief's supporters fought back.

After Cook's visit and the publication of several books relating his voyages, the Hawaiian islands received many European visitors: explorers, traders, and eventually whalers who found the islands a convenient harbor and source of fresh food. Early British influence can still be seen from the design of the local Flag of Hawaii which has the British Union Jack in the corner. Visitors introduced disease to the formerly isolated islands and the Hawaiian population plunged precipitously. American missionaries arrived in 1820 and eventually converted the chiefs and the remaining population to Protestant Christianity.


[edit] Hawaiian kingdom
Main article: Kingdom of Hawaii
After a series of battles that ended in 1795 and peaceful cession of the island of Kauai in 1810, the Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler who would become known as King Kamehameha the Great. He established the House of Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled over the kingdom until 1872.

The death of the bachelor King Kamehameha V—who did not name an heir—resulted in the popular election of King Lunalilo over Kalakaua. After Lunalilo's death, in a hotly contested and allegedly fraudulent election by the legislature in 1874 between Kalakaua and Emma (which led to riots and the landing of U.S. and British troops to keep the peace), governance was passed on to the House of Kalakaua.

In 1887, citing maladministration under the influence of Walter Murray Gibson, a group of primarily American and European businessmen, including kingdom subjects and members of the Hawaiian government forced King Kalakaua to sign the derisively nicknamed "Bayonet Constitution" which stripped the king of administrative authority, eliminated voting rights for Asians and set minimum income and property requirements for American, European and native Hawaiian voters, essentially limiting the electorate to wealthy elite Americans, Europeans and native Hawaiians. King Kalakaua reigned until his death in 1891. His sister, Liliuokalani, succeeded him to the throne and ruled until her overthrow in 1893.
