Class Activity
Discussed the chapters from Kamakau
Some of the broader topics that were covered
- The importance of agriculture in the political realm
- The familial ties that were enacted upon in order to support Kihaapiʻilani's endeavors
- The Hawaiian idea of the perfect ruler is being pono, which means that you are in good favor with the gods. This means that they will allow you to win wars/battles, and be able to support your people with food. The gods support a good leader.
- Kamakau's works show a new insight to native voice, government policies, and overall interactions between Hawaiian aliʻi of ancient Hawaiʻi.
