Rulers Of The Hawaiian Islands
The original rulers of the Hawaiian islands (''noho aliʻi o ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻAina'') were a line of native Hawaiians who were independent monarchs of various subdivisions of the land and islands of Hawaii. Their genealogy is traced to Hānalaʻanui and others. The caste system of ancient Hawaiian society was established around 1200 AD and separated the people into 4 distinct ranks that were all below the supreme ruler (''ali‘i nui'') of the island. The ''ali‘i nui'' would distribute the land to the lower ranking chiefs who would run the land and collect offerings and taxes. The ''ali‘i nui'' would also ultimately be responsible for the sacred kapu, a system of rules designed to control social order. The ''noho ali‘i'' were known for their brightly colored and intricately constructed battle regalia of feathered capes and helmets called a mahiole (helmet) and ʻahu ʻula (cloak or cape).
