Umi-a-Liloa
ʻUmi-a-Līloa (fifteenth century) was the supreme ruler Aliʻi nui of Hawaii, Aliʻi-ʻAimoku (High chief of Hawaiʻi Island) who inherited Hawaiian religion, religious authority of the Hawaiian Islands from his father, High Chief Līloa, whose line is traced, unbroken to Hawaiian "creation". Aliʻi-ʻAimoku is the title bestowed on the ruler of a moku, district or island. His mother was Akahi. She was of a lesser line of chiefs who Līloa had fallen in love with when he discovered her bathing in a river. He became Aliʻi nui after the death of his half-brother Hākau, who inherited the lands of his father to rule. ʻUmi-a-Līloa was considered a just ruler, religious and the first to unite almost all of the Hawaii (island), island of Hawaii. The legend of Umi is one of the most popular hero sagas in Hawaiian history. While there is probably embellishment to the story, as many sagas do, a portion of historical accuracy remains. ʻUmi-a-Līloaʻs wife was Princess Piʻikea, daughter ...

Waipio Valley
Waipio Valley is a valley located in the Hamakua District of the Big Island of Hawaii. "Waipio" means "curved water" in the Hawaiian language. The valley was the capital and permanent residence of many early Hawaiian Aliʻi (chiefs/kings) up until the time of King Umi. This was a place celebrated for its ''nioi'' tree ('' Eugenia reinwardtiana'') known as the ''Nioi wela o Pakaalana'' ("The burning Nioi of Pakaalana"). It was the location of the ancient grass palace of the ancient "kings" of Hawaiʻi with the ''nioi'' stands. The first chief who had a court in this valley was called Kahaimoelea. In the 18th century, Kahekili II ( king of Maui) raided Waipio and burned the four sacred trees to the ground. The shore line in the valley is a black sand beach, popular with surfers. A few taro farms are located in the valley. Several large waterfalls fall into the valley to feed the river which flows from the foot of the largest falls at the back of the valley out to the ocea ...

House Of Līloa
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 generally 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 the kitchen or another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room.

Royalty Of Hawaii (island)
The Hawaiian Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi ( Hawaiian: ɛ ɐwˈpuni həˈvɐjʔi, was an archipelagic country from 1795 to 1893, which eventually encompassed all of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. It was established in 1795 when Kamehameha I, then Aliʻi nui of Hawaii, conquered the islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi, and Lānaʻi, and unified them under one government. In 1810, the Hawaiian Islands were fully unified when the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau voluntarily joined the Hawaiian Kingdom. Two major dynastic families ruled the kingdom, the House of Kamehameha and the House of Kalākaua. The kingdom subsequently gained diplomatic recognition from European powers and the United States. An influx of European and American explorers, traders, and whalers soon began arriving to the kingdom, introducing diseases such as syphilis, tuberculosis, smallpox, and measles, leading to the rapid decline of the Native Hawaiian population. In 1887, King Kalākaua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
