I bought a picture by Herb Kawainui Kāne. It is a picture of Captain Cook's expedition entering Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii 17 January 1776. It is numbered 399/950. The picture has been matted and framed. I'm wondering if the picture has any value. I live in North Mississippi and there isn't any art appraisers close by. I would like to know a little more about it. in the video I saw the picture.
I go back far enough to have seen the palace when it was still being used as the state capitol. I’ve followed the restoration over the years but you showed some things I never saw before. Mahalo for this video, I enjoyed it very much! 😊🤙
Thanks to all of you for sharing your personal stories and academic knowledge. Great context creation. Would love to understand how it related through its stream to the coast and the rest of the town.
For the sake of 'Historical Accuracy', The Lawfully Appointed Government of the Kingdom of Hawaii was responsible for the 'Unlawful Overthrow' of the Monarchy. The U.S. did NOT overthrow or 'Steal' Hawaii, it was taken over by a rebellion of the Cabinet, members chosen by the Kings & Queens, and a "Provisional Government" (PG) was established after they took over Hawaii, and the "Republic of Hawaii" was formed by the PG. The U.S. Troops aboard the SS Boston, docked in Honolulu, were requested by the PG to protect Americans from a possible retaliation by the native population, which never happened. It was a bloodless Coup d'état. The PG were mostly white men, all naturalized citizens of Hawaii, from the mainland, that had renounced their US Citizenship and married wealthy, powerful, native Hawaiian Royal women. The PG were primarily Businessmen (Sugar Barons) & Missionaries, dedicated to the freedom of the Hawaiian people from the Monarchy and the system of oppression that typically is used by Kings & Queens to rule over an ignorant peasant population of poor share croppers.
I appreciate intelligent and historical documentaries very much..!! Thank You... I'm reading the biography of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, named "Pauahi, The Kamehameha Legacy" and there are wonderful references to the beautiful home that she inherited, and famously hosted many events, people and parties. I am an Architect, living in Honolulu now for 2 years, and very interested in local history. I googled this subject to learn more, and learn what happened to this Hale and anything else about this most amazing woman and her home.
Mahalo for this excellent lecture! I knew a bit about Haleakala, but nothing about Hale Uluhe. Also, I knew Keelikolani’s old mansion was on the site of the school (I’ve seen photos of the house). But I didn’t know that it was originally Honolulu High School or that Central Intermediate was renamed for Princess Ruth. That is cool. 😊🤙🤙🤙
Aloha en Mayo ire por un mes a Oahu y me encantaría ver fotos , conversar e impregnarme de la historia de Chinatown insitu ...hay alguna oficina o un lugar donde pueda ir e informarme...muchas gracias .🌺🌺🌺
Greed!! Ive been on Oahu for 30yrs and witnessed the landscape change dramatically ( not for the better). Honolulu has transformed into a high rise eye sore!! The purity of what was Honolulu is slowly being bulldozed to no benefit for the locals. It only increases the cost of living here and is driving many to leave. I understand change is inevitable but at what cost! Waikiki is a big shopping mall. No longer a tropical paradise but a concrete jungle. I was eating at an establishment in Waikiki ( place no longer exists) and couple next to me asked me " are you from here" I responded "yes". They asked " is there anything Hawaiian left here?" ( the conversation was long) there final thought was " we could have just stayed in Santa monica"...
Lahaina part 2😢people like her and organizations remain proactive to protect and preserve what "community" means and is to Hawaiian & Polynesian cultures that make Hawaii what it is today. ❤
That is my great grand pa, his daughter Susan kekahuna is my grandma. His ultimate vision was to see the first real Hawaiian village and of course the loss of hawaiian culture and knowledge. It was only until about 5 years that I ran into my aumakua and my begining. Thank you for everything and all that you have shared I had gotten that spirit from this man and I believe that it is his spirit and his connection to the land and the gods and us as a people's of kanaka maoli that we as kanaka maolii and me being his direct descendants and family, it shows how our connection to the aina and our past are vital to us as Kanaka Oiwi.
I live in SoCal now but I’m proud to say I was raised in the Waianae/Makaha area. I miss surfing Makaha beach and Yok’s, it was a great place to grow up as a kid. Aloha aina.
Here is Alex Pua's video where he talks about the temples, terracing and Heiau's already being built before the Polynesians arrived. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hO4NOb04D9Y.html
Many people believe the ruins on Kauai and the rest of the islands are tens of thousands of years old. The placard at Poliahu has been there for almost 100 years and it says the Menehune built it. I think they built all of it island wide. Makana peak is also man made as well as Hanana'a in Kalalau. Mahalo
Not a Hawaiian---That's insulting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go watch The white Lotus Season 1---you are of lower character that TANYA MCQUAD. Rit on hill--THIEF!!
Absolutely wonderful and powerful video. Not only really well-made but reflects what I’ve been fortunate to at least partially see and feel. Great to see kumu Kehaulani Kekua, eminent kumu hula who is also native to Kauai on this film.

I have been doing NEPA for a federal agency for 18 years and was listening to this for review -- I usually rely on our cultural subject matter experts mostly for NHPA. Although the entire presentation was a great overview, I think everyone who does environmental compliance or project management, for no matter how long, should listen to Maka' ala's segment on the importance of early tribal relations and communication. Thank you so much!
