"Temples Indicate Swift Rise of Hawaiian Society"

[Miulang]

Anthropologists studying the ancient heiaus on Maui and Moloka'i have stumbled across an unexpected finding: that the unification of Maui and Moloka'i from a time when there were separate chiefdoms to the time of Pi'ilani ali'i took only 30 years. Their conclusion is that "This can occur within the lifetime of a single ruler ...A single charismatic, dynamic leader can accomplish this." Can the kanaka maoli find another Pi'ilani ali'i to do the same for them in this century?

mahalos fo dat link!

intriguing question...


ya know, with all the creative film makers on da islands, methinks this would be a good subject to explore, and incorporate the King Kamehameha story also. Beat Hollywood to the punch, or at least, ride the coattails of the publicity generated when and/or IF... da Rock's Kamehameha ends up being the purported (threatened?) H'wood project we have been hearing about.
