Re: Hawaii before the 20th century
History quoted:
The Best of The Modern World
The new `Iolani Palace was outfitted with the most up-to-date amenities, including indoor plumbing. Gas chandeliers installed when the Palace was first built were replaced by electric lighting five years later (less than seven years after Edison invented the first practical incandescent bulb). The King also installed a modern communications system that included the recently invented telephone.
It is interesting to know where technology was at certain points in time. The electrifying of the Iolani Palace is popularly known to have predated that of The White House in Washington D.C.
I wonder how much the telephone bill cost at that time. Also who could you call? I take it not many people had phones elsewhere in Hawaii around the 1880s and 1890s....I'm still here. Are you?

Lunalilo was elected "king" on over his opponent, Kalākaua on January 1, 1873 by a popular vote. After Lunalilo's death on February 3, 1874, Kalākaua ran again. This time, he was elected "king" over his opponent, "Queen" Emma (the widow of Kamehameha IV) on February 12, 1874 by the legislature and served until his death on January 20, 1891.

Re: Hawaii before the 20th century
From Kumuhonua to Kalani'opu'u's time (in other words, from the Beginning of Time until the 18th century).
Science:
-Hawaiians are among the most advanced agriculturalists in the Pacific, with taro terraces, irrigation systems, and weather readings that allow for kapu/noa times (planting, harvesting, fallow seasons).
Math:
-Hawaiians and their Polynesian kin learn to use the lunar, solar and celestial systems to develop intricate and precise navigation methods.
Economics:
-Sustenance economy. Inter-village and inter-isle trading was quite common. Villages were based on the ahapua'a system and villages existed who were renown for particular crop production (e.g. Waipi'o-taro).
Society:
- Striated. Kapu and noa. Integrated spirituality and arts (oli, hula, kakau, kahaki'i). Practical; a dictatorial ali'i was only as effective until the next spear is applied to his ventricle. Their environment drove everything.
ok...now that the 18th century is out of the way...

Re: Hawaii before the 20th century
Let's do the 19th century in chunks, and start by posing the question, "why was Kamehameha I such a badass?"
First, a note about the recording of Kamehameha I's history. Hawaiians in the 19th century took to the written word quick. It is my experience that reading of this man is best done through Hawaiian, and we must rely upon Kamakau and Desha's works on the subject. Although both of these Hawaiian men were devout Christians, their agenda was obvious, and they took great pains to do service to the story of the ali'i born as Pai'ea.
