Kuamo'o: Where the Hawai'ian Gods Died, Big Island, Hawaii
Kuamo'o Battle Field/Lekeleke Burial Ground Melancholy, lonely, desolate; this beach cut into the fresh scar of an a'a flow marks the place where the Hawai'ian gods died at the battle of Kuamo'o. In 1819, the year before the Christian missionaries arrived in Hawai'i, forces loyal to Kamehameha II and Queen Ka'ahumanu fought to overturn the kapu system and the pagan Hawai'ian religion in favor of Christianity. Kahuna Kekuaokalani led the last supporters of the old ways and the old gods and fought a desperate battle here to preserve their ancient way of life, and lost. Their graves, numbering in the several hundreds despite the official-looking marker at the site, are under the numerous, large stone altars erected by the victors over the very spots the warriors fell. A walk along the dirt road that bisects the battlefield is ineffably sad and a little creepy. However, the road soon climbs into dryland forest along the lava ocean cliffs and provides some memorable hiking and sunset views. Kuamo'o Battlefield is located at the very end of Ali'i Drive, somewhat appropriately. No facilities.

Kawa Standoff
KAWA`A, HI - The County of Hawaii, in an attempt to survey lands they believe is theirs, is stopped by native subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, who say the 'aina belongs to their families. A standoff ensues between the two governments, and ends peacefully, as the county elects to leave without entering the property. Kawa`a has been the home to the legendary local Hawaiian figure, Uncle Able, for years.
Claimaints to the Hawaiian Throne
A video I made discussing an overview of the constitutional history of Hawaiian titles and the existing claimaints to the Hawaiian Throne including the Houses of Kawananakoa and La'anui. For those that are confused. Hawai'i was a CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY which means the succession to the Hawaiian Throne was regulated by the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The King/Queen could not proclaim any Tom, Dick, or Harry (or in our case any Keone, Kekoa, or Keola) as his/her heir. All transactions of the monarch had to be counter signed by the Cabinet Council and by the Upper House of Parliament, the House of Nobles. A monarch was a monarch not by birth right but "By the Grace of God and under the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom" which was part of the official title of the Hawaiian monarch. As Kamehameha III once said, "The monarch is sovereign...but is not sovereign above the constitution which ensures the protection of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and works of ones hands and minds".
