Alapaiwahine
Alapaiwahine was a Princess of the Island of Hawaii and great-grandmother of King David Kalākaua and Queen Lydia Liliuokalani. She was a ''Naha'' chiefess: the product of a rare father and daughter marriage uncommon in Hawaiian history. Biography She was probably born in the late 18th century prior to the landing of Captain James Cook on the Hawaiian Islands. She was born into the most powerful family in the island of Hawaii at the time. Her father was Kalaninuiamamao and her mother was his fifth wife, the Naha chiefess Kaolanialii, Kalaninuilamamao's daughter by his wife Kapaihi-a-Ahu. Her father (who was thus also her grandfather) was ruling chief (''Alii Nui'') of the District of Kaū, son of Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku and Lonomaʻaikanaka. He was once in line to succeed, but due to the contention between him and his higher-ranking brother, Keeaumoku Nui, which led to a war that split the island of Hawaii into separate district kingdoms until Kamehameha I, Keeaumoku’s ...

Her father (and mother's cousin) was Chief Iwikau-i-kaua of Oahu. She became ruler of the island on the death of her mother. She and her mother are association with the massive royal complex built at Holualoa Bay on the west side of the island. Her reign was a troubled one. The house of I had controlled the Hilo district since the days of their ancestor Prince Kumalae, the son of Umi-a-Liloa, had grown to such wealth and strength, and importance, as to be practically independent of even the very loose bonds with which the ruling district chiefs were held to their feudal obligations. The representative of this house of the district chief of Hilo at this time was Kuahuia, the son of Kua-ana-a-I, and grandson of I. What led to the war, or what were its incidents, has not been preserved in the oral records, but it is frequently allu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mana Wahine Te Ira Tangata
Mana Wahine Te Ira Tangata was a small and short-lived political party in New Zealand. It was established by Alamein Kopu, a member of the New Zealand Parliament who had left her original party (the Alliance (New Zealand political party), Alliance). After a short time as an independent MP, Kopu established Mana Wahine as her own party. It was officially registered on 12 June 1998. The name "Mana Wahine Te Ira Tangata" is difficult to translate, but essentially refers to dignity or respect for women. Kopu claims that the party was intended to support Māori people, Māori women, promoting a Māori form of feminism. Critics of Alamein Kopu, however, did not see the party as a genuine ideological organization. Rather, they saw a more cynical reason for the party's creation – as leader of a party rather than an independent, Kopu was entitled to $80,000 in additional funding. Jim Anderton, leader of Kopu's former party, said that the creation of Mana Wahine approached corruption, a se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the final game of the 1923 season, the football team upset Oregon State, with a rainbow appearing over the stadium during the game. Sportswriters began referring to UH teams as the "Rainbows," and the tradition was born that Hawaii could not lose if a rainbow appeared. The rainbow officially became a part of the school's athletic logo in 1982 and remained until 2000. King Kamehameha the Great and his warriors united the Hawaiian Islands, earning the warrior a place of honor in Hawa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
