Kahekili II
Kahekili II, full name Kahekilinuiʻahumanu, (c. 1737–1794) was an ali'i (''Moʻi'') of Maui. His name was short for Kāne-Hekili after the Hawaiian god of thunder. Because Kāne-Hekili was believed to be black on one side, Kahekili tattooed one side of his body from head to foot. He was called ''Titeeree, King of Mowee'' by European explorers. Family He was born about 1710–1737 in Haliimaile, Hawaii, Hāliʻimaile on the island of Maui. His father was Kekaulike Kalani-nui-Kui-Hono-i-Kamoku the 23rd Moʻi of Maui. His mother was Kekuaipoiwa-nui Kalani-kauhihiwakama Wanakapu (Kekuʻiapoiwa I, Kekuiapoiwa I, half-sister of Kekaulike). He had at least two wives, and three or four sons and two daughters. His sister was Kalola Pupuka, Kalola. There is a theory that he was the biological father of Kamehameha I, as Kamehameha I was told this and provided with proof of the same.

Kalanikūpule was the last of the longest line of ''aliʻi nui'' in the Hawaiian Islands. In Hawaiian his name means "the heavenly prayer of Kū". Early life Kalanikūpule was the eldest son of Kahekili II and his wife Kauwahine. His father had gained control all of the Hawaiian Islands except the island of Hawaii. His father had overthrown the king of Oahu and had established his base at Waikīkī. Kamehameha declared war on Maui and fought Kalanikūpule at the Battle of Kepaniwai. Kalanikūpule, facing imminent defeat, fled over a narrow mountain pass along with his high chiefs, and they sailed to Oahu. Kahekili began his war preparations. Kamehameha's troops returned to Hawaii Island, and soon Kahekili was able to gain Maui Molokai back. In July 1794 Kahekili died. Reign Following the death of his father, Kalanikū ...

House Of Kekaulike
A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses may have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals suc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
