I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt mahalo for the topics and newsbits that you do post here. I log on daily, but my schedule doesn't permit me enough time to respond as much as I would like. There are things I wish to discuss about Y2K kanaka culture, progressive living between our different lahui here in Hawai'i, how we can further our respect between our host cultures and responsibilities towards our malihini, how progressive our ancestors actually were (and, if time permitted, the whole 19th century in review), as well as Hawai'i's unique place in this global hegemony--where the trends are heading, and where our heads need to be at.
One of my pet interests is post-annexation, pre-WWII Hawaiian history. It's a period that gets glossed over a lot. Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole versus Robert Wilcox. Anti-Japanese "yellow peril" propaganda. The rise of Labor against the Big Five. Juicy, juicy stuff.

See, now I am all about the third generation of ali'i. First, let's review:
1st generation: Kamehameha Nui (the 1st)
2nd: Kamehameha II and III (the former who was the first wimp, the latter who reigned the longest for 20 years, and both of whom were really the first generation who had to deal with multi-cultural paradigm shifts)
3rd: K. IV->Lili'uokalani. These guys were the ones educated by the Cookes, and share in common a genuine Christian ethic/charity towards the maka'ainana more so than the previous two generations.
4th: Ka'iulani, Kapi'olani's nephews (Kuhio & Kawananakoa).

Go for it. Start a thread. I'd be interested in what develops too. After all, this is the stuff that helped make Hawai'i what it is today.
