Aloha kakou he Hawai’I, PAU?
E kala mai
I beg to differ with part of this above report on who was first of the Hawaiian Ali’I to become a Christian and its reference of who is “Queen Mother of Kamehameha II, Liholiho? While it doesn’t matter who became a Christian first for no matter what is your origin just as long as we do so before leaving this mortal world?
But what really matters is Truth, whether it is history before you or that of your now?. In modern day monarchy of the Hawaiian Royalty there seems to be an effort to “cloud” the existence of Sacred Queen Mother Ke’opuolani by most historians and even that of Hawaiian Ali’i Royalty. May I refer all to reference “https://len.wikipedia.org/w/ index.php?title=Keopuolani (okina first o & u) for some insight.
Ask yourself, why did King Kamehameha the Great go to such great depth to secure a woman of such character and devotion?
Oddly enough. Queen Mother Ke’opuolani was sacred above all yet not considered the favorite wife of King Kamehameha the Great but was the only “Sacred Queen Mother of King Kamehameha II Liholiho, King Kamehameha III, Kauike’aouli and Princess Nahienaena”. It is reported that eight other children were of birth by Queen Ke’opuolani but did not live. It seems that her purpose in her life was to bear truth for all to believe?
Sacred Queen Ke’opuolani played a major role in the overthrow of the sacred Hawaiian kapu system, “Ai Noa that open the pathway to Christianity in the Hawaiian Kingdom. The sacredness of Queen Ke’opuolani did not allow her to be political as other “Royal’s”, and by early 1820’s not being a physically well person she returned her birthplace in Lahaina, Maui in August of 1823 to live and she requested of the American Board of Missions that a “Mission Family” live with her at her Palace in Lahaina. Due to language restrictions Reverend William Ellis and his assistant the Taua Ohana of Tahiti joined Reverend Charles Stewart and his wife Harriet in Lahaina. Queen Ke’opuolani was protected by King Kamehameha the Great most trusted Chief Kalaniimoku and Chief Ho’apili. Within the baptismal of Queen Ke’opuolani Chief Ho’apili was her choice to become her only husband.
On September 16, 1823, Queen Ke’opuolani’s health condition lessen more. With her was her son King Kamehameha II, Liholiho. She instructed her son to above all always take care of his people. It was then of the moment, it is believed Sacred Queen Mother Ke’opuolani spoke of the “original sacred motto of the Hawaiian Kingdom (1823)” to her son Liholiho, as ”Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina I ka Pono o Iesu Kristo” just before she was baptized “Harriet Ke’opuolani Ho’apili”, aka Sacred Queen Mother Ke’opuolani. An hour later, Sacred Queen Mother Ke’opuolani went home to be with the real King of King’s. She was originally “buried” at her Palace grounds on the sacred island of Moku’ula (Lahaina), and later to this very day is with husband Chief Ho’apili, daughter Princess Nahienaena and many others of the Royal family at Ke’opuolani Park aka the Christian Cemetery at Waiola Church, Lahaina, Maui.
Why, day after day, month after month, year after year and even century after century is this Truth ignored and even denied it is so by the Kanaka Maoli? I can see why the Invader and even that of the “vested”Federal Native Hawaiians of today! But without pono what does the Kanaka Maoli and Hawaiian Nationals gain to ignore or deny pono? Certainly, it is not the Aina!
I pray this has sparked a desire of pono as it did me thirty years pass. Learning pono is only the beginning. Living I ka pono is the test!
malama I ka pono!
