Hana, Hawaii
Hāna is a census-designated place (CDP) in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. The population was 1,526 at the 2020 census. Hana is located at the eastern end of the island of Maui and is one of the most isolated communities in the state. It is reached mainly via the Hāna Highway, a long, winding, highway along Maui's northern shore, via boat, and with commercial air service to Hāna airport. History Like most of Hawaii, Hāna was probably first settled between 500 and 800 AD by Polynesian peoples. The first sugarcane plantation in the area was established by George Wilfong in 1849, and by 1883 there were six plantations operating in the area. By 1946, however, the last sugarcane plantation had closed, leading plantation workers to move mostly to the west side of Maui. That same year saw the opening of the Kauiki Inn, later known as the Hotel Travaasa – Hāna and today as the Hyatt Hāna-Maui Resort, which helped transition the economy towards tourism.

Aliʻi
The aliʻi were the traditional nobility of the Hawaiian islands. They were part of a hereditary line of rulers, the ''noho aliʻi''. The word ''aliʻi'' has a similar meaning in the Samoan language and other Polynesian languages, and in Māori it is pronounced "ariki". Background In ancient Hawaiian society, the ''aliʻi'' were hereditary nobles (a social class or caste). The ''aliʻi'' consisted of the higher and lesser chiefs of the various levels on the islands. The ''noho aliʻi'' were the ruling chiefs. The ''aliʻi'' were believed to be descended from the deities. There were eleven classes of ''aliʻi'', of both men and women. These included the ''kahuna'' (priestesses and priests, experts, craftsmen, and canoe makers) as part of four professions practiced by the nobility. Each island had its own aliʻi nui, who governed their individual systems. ''Aliʻi'' continued to play a role in the governance of the Hawaiian islands until 1893, when Queen Liliʻuokalani was overt ...

Chant
A chant (from French ', from Latin ', "to sing") is the iterative speaking or singing of words or sounds, often primarily on one or two main pitches called reciting tones. Chants may range from a simple melody involving a limited set of notes to highly complex musical structures, often including a great deal of repetition of musical subphrases, such as Great Responsories and Offertories of Gregorian chant. Chant may be considered speech, music, or a heightened or stylized form of speech. In the later Middle Ages some religious chant evolved into song (forming one of the roots of later Western music). Chant as a spiritual practice Chanting (e.g., mantra, sacred text, the name of God/Spirit, etc.) is a commonly used spiritual practice. Like prayer, chanting may be a component of either personal or group practice. Diverse spiritual traditions consider chant a route to spiritual development. Some examples include chant in African, Hawaiian, and Native American, Assyrian and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aliʻi Nui Of Maui
The Aliʻi nui of Maui was the supreme ruler of the islands of Maui, one of the four main Hawaiian Islands as well as the smaller island of Lanai. The title is the same as that of the ''Alii nui'' of the other islands. The title or phrase ''Mōʻī'' is sometimes used for the title of the monarchs of Maui; however, it is not an ancient word in the Hawaiian language and has origins in the mid 19th century. The only monarchs to officially hold the title of ''Mōʻī'' are Kalākaua and his sister Liliuokalani. Overview The monarchs of Maui, like those of the other Hawaiian islands, claim descent from Wākea and Papa. They were sometimes referred to as ''Mōī'' beginning in the mid 19th century, and would later become commonly translated from the Hawaiian language into English as the word "king". Paumakua, the first ruler of Maui, was thirty-first in line of descent from Wakea. In the beginning, from about Paumakua of Maui down to Kawaokaohele's reign, the ''Alii nui'' of Maui only ...

Ancient Hawaii
Ancient Hawaii is the period of Hawaiian history preceding the unification in 1810 of the Kingdom of Hawaii by Kamehameha the Great. Traditionally, researchers estimated the first settlement of the Hawaiian islands as having occurred sporadically between 400 and 1100 CE by Polynesian long-distance navigators from the Samoan, Marquesas, and Tahiti islands within what is now French Polynesia. In 2010, a study was published based on radiocarbon dating of more reliable samples which suggests that the islands were settled much later, within a short timeframe, in about 1219 to 1266. The islands in Eastern Polynesia have been characterized by the continuities among their cultures, and the short migration period would be an explanation of this result. Diversified agroforestry and aquaculture provided sustenance for Native Hawaiian cuisine. Tropical materials were adopted for housing. Elaborate temples (called ''heiau'') were constructed from the lava rocks available. The rich natural ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hanalaʻa
Hanalaa was a High Chief who lived on the island of Maui in ancient Hawaii. Hanalaʻa had control over portions of Western Maui and is mentioned in legends and chants, where his family tree is given. Family Hanalaʻa was a son of Palena of Maui and his wife, Hikawai. Maternal grandparents of Hanalaʻa were Limaloa-Lialea and Kauilaianapu (Kauilaʻanapa). Hanalaʻa succeeded his father as king of Maui. Hanalaʻa was a noted chieftain, whom both the Mauian and Hawaiian chiefs contended for as their ancestor under the varying names of Hanalaʻa-nui and Hanalaʻa-iki, asserting that Palena was the father of twins who bore those names or a mistake could have been made in the genealogies. It is probable both Hanalaʻas were the same person. It is said that Hanalaʻa-nui married Mahuia and begat Lanakawai, who then begat Laʻau. Laʻau married Kukamolimolialoha and begat Pilikaʻaiea Pilikaʻaiea (or Pili-auau; the short form: Pili) was ''Aliʻi Nui'' of Hawaiʻi. He was a sov ...
