THE BISHOP ESTATE

THE CHAIN OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WERE A CHAIN OF BARREN LAND WITH TROPICAL VEGETATIONS AND BOARS LEFT BY MAGELLAN'S TRIP AROUND THE WORLD AND SANDALWOOD OR BAMBOO LEFT BY EARLY ASIAN EXPLORERS. THE HAWAIIANS WERE THE FIRST TO INHABIT THE ISLANDS. THEIR RELIGIOUS PRACTICES CONSISTED OF THE MOTHER EARTH HAUMEA BORNE FROM PELE'S THIGH WHO WAS THE LAND AMAKUA AND THE SHARK GOD BORN FROM THE HEAD AND PROTECTOR AND THE TIKI WAR GOD KU. IT WAS DURING THE HARVEST SEASON THAT WAS CALLED MAKAHIKI THAT IN THE LATE 1700'S CAPTAIN JAMES COOK ARRIVED IN THE ISLANDS. THEY WERE CONSIDERED GODS WITH THEIR SHINING ORNAMENTS AND PIPES. IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE CULTURE DIFFERENCES THAT COOK SENSING TROUBLE ORDERED ANOTHER ROUND OF FOOD AND THE HAWAIIANS REVOLTED AND KILLED COOK. KAMEHAMEHA A COMPASSIONATE KING SPARED THE LIFE OF JOHN YOUNG WHO CAUGHT THE KING'S EYE WITH HIS COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND ISAAC DAVIS A SOLIDER WHO MANNED THE CANON THAT PRODUCED THUNDER AND LIGHTENING. THESE TWO LIVES WERE SPARED AND THEY BECAME THE KING'S MOST TRUSTED ADVISORS AS THEY INTRODUCED THE ART OF TRADING AND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE IRON SPEAR. KAMEHAMEHA FIRST HEADED FOR MAUI WHERE HE CONQUERED THE MAUI KING AND THEN PROCEEDED TO OAHU WHERE HE LANDED ON WAIKIKI BEACH. HE WAS WOUNDED ON OAHU AND WHILE HE HEALED THE KAUAI KING AGREED TO BE RULED BY KAMEHAMEHA AND A BATTLE WAS AVOIDED AND A HAWAIIAN KINGDOM WAS BORN WHEN IT WAS DECIDED THAT A KINGDOM RULED BY HAWAIIANS WOULD GENERATE SYMPATHY IN WORLD AFFAIRS. IT WAS A SHORT TIME LATER THAT THE REVEREND DANIEL DOLE ARRIVED IN THE ISLANDS TO BEGIN HIS MISSIONARY WORK. HIS WORK GOT OFF TO A ROCKY START AS HE TRIED TO CONVERT HAWAIIANS BUT ROUGH NECK HAWAIIANS SOON BEGAN TO ABUSE CONVERTED HAWAIIANS. DOLE PROPOSED TO DAVIS THAT THEY BE PUT IN PILLORY STOCKS TO RESEMBLE JESUS ON THE CROSS. DAVIS REPLIED THAT IT WAS THE KING'S DECISION AND MUCH TO DOLE'S RELIEF KAMEHMEHA SIDED WITH DOLE AS AGAIN THIS SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPED. DOLE ALSO FOUNDED THE PUNAHOU MISSIONARY SCHOOL FOR MISSIONARY CHILDREN AND ROYAL HAWAIIAN CHILDREN. THE CASTLE FAMILY OF HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC TODAY WAS THE SCHOOL'S MASTER AND HE HAD HOPES OF MAKING HAWAII THE CROSSROADS BETWEEN EUROPE AND CALIFORNIA FOR THE LATEST CHURCH HAPPENINGS. IT WAS UPON A RETURN TRIP THAT A SPANIARD DON FRANCISCO Y MARIN GAVE HIM CHURCH FOOD PINEAPPLE AND SUGAR CANE WHICH WAS A TREAT. THE AMOS COOKE FAMILY OF THE HONOLULU GAS COMPANY TODAY WAS A CHURCH MESSENGER AND HE CARRIED THE MESSAGE THAT JESUS PERFORMED 32 MIRACLES AND THE RESURRECTION WAS CONSIDERED THE GREATEST. THE BISHOP REED FAMILY OF THE BOARD OF WATER SUPPLY WAS A PREACHER AND HEAD OF THE BAKE SALES LATER BECAME THE LOCAL BANKER AND SOLD HIS LAND TO DAVIS CAUSED OF HIS LOVE AND CARING ATTITUDE TOWARDS HAWAIIANS. THE ECONOMIC SITUATION OVER THE YEARS FIRST STARTED OUT WITH SANDALWOOD OR BAMBOO AND THEN THE WHALING AND LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY AND FINALLY THE SUGAR AND TOURISM INDUSTRY. THE KINGDOM EUROPEAN DIPLOMATS WERE THE ATHERTON FAMILY OF THE HONOLULU STAR BULLETIN WHO WAS MOST NOTED FOR HOW BRITAIN PLANNED TO BALANCE THE WORLD POWERS BY ALLYING ITSELF WITH FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES. THE ALEXANDER FAMILY OF HAWAIIAN TELEPHONE COMPANY WAS A DIPLOMAT WHO POINTED OUT HOW THE SPICES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA COULD BE TRADED FOR SANDALWOOD, LATER SUGGESTED THAT THE BERING STRAIT WAS LAND THAT BRIDGE THE TWO CONTINENTS TOGETHER IN RUSSIA AND ALASKA AND LATER DEFINED THE OPEN DOOR POLICY IN ASIA. THE GREEN FAMILY OF THE ALLAN AND LAD COMPANY AND THE HALL FAMILY OF UNION INVESTMENT COMPANY TODAY WERE THE AMERICAN DIPLOMATS AND EXPLAINED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE RAILROAD. THE WATERHOUSE FAMILY OF YOUNG BROTHERS WAS THE SHIPPING AGENT FOR THE KINGDOM AND HE HAD A PASSION FOR KAMEHAMEHA'S ROUTE TO UNIFY THE ISLANDS. KING KAMEHAMEHA III ROSE TO THE THRONE AT AGE 13 AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT HE BE EDUCATED BY THE MISSIONARIES. KAHUMANU KAMEHAMEHA I WIFE WAS THE ACTUAL RULER OF THE KINGDOM AS SHE RULED THE KINGDOM FROM THE HUI OHANA. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT DOLE'S FRUITATION OF HIS WORKS BECAME A REALITY. KAHUMANU DIED AND WAS BURIED IN MANOA VALLEY WHERE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY DYING AS A CHRISTIAN IN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THE PASSING OF HER LED THE YOUNG KING TO WRESTLE CONTROL FROM THE HUI OHANA. IT WAS WRITTEN IN ONE WEEK HE EMPTIED ALL THE SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES AND LIFTED ALL THE LAWS EXCEPT MURDER AS THEY DRANK 32 BARRELS OF ALCOHOL. IT WAS HIS SISTER NAHIENAENA WHO HAD ON ONE HAND THIS LOVE FOR HER BROTHER AND ON HER OTHER HAND THIS LOVE FOR THE CHRISTIAN WORLD THAT SHE SUDDENLY PASSED AWAY. THE KING ONLY WANTED TO DO GOOD NOW SO HE MARRIED KALAMA EVEN THOUGH SHE LACKED HIGH BIRTH AND RELOCATED TO MAUI AND LET THE HOUSE OF LORDS RULED THE KINGDOM UNTIL HIS DEATH AT AGE 41. IT WAS ALSO DURING HIS REIGN THAT FRANCE THREATEN TO LEVEL THE KINGDOM IF CATHOLICS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO WORSHIP. IT WAS UNDER GREAT STRAIN THAT HE SIGNED IT INTO LAW.

LATER WANTING TO SETTLE DOWN BUILT HOMES DURING THE OFF WHALING SEASON AND DRANK AND TOLD FOUNDATION STORIES AND FINALLY DUG THE IRRIGATION DITCHES FOR THE SUGAR DRANK AND TOLD SLOPE STORIES. THE MOTT-SMITH FAMILY OF THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER WAS A CHURCH ACTIVIST WHO SUGGESTED THAT THE CATHOLICS RELAX RESTRICTIONS TO ATTRACT HAWAIIANS. THE OVERTHROW WAS A CONFUSING TIME IN HAWAIIAN HISTORY AS GUNS WERE BROUGHT OFF DIAMOND HEAD TO RESTORE THE QUEEN. IT WAS ALSO AROUND THIS TIME THAT AMERICAN RAILROAD MAN HENRY BALDWIN CAME TO THE ISLANDS THE DAMONS DANCED THE HULA AND MARRIED HIM OF THE MAUI PINE COMPANY. BALDWIN DID NOT WANT TO BE JUST ANOTHER MISSIONARY BUT THIS WAS GOING TO BE HIS HOME. THE IMMIGRANTS PRIOR TO THE OVERTHROW UNDER KING DAVID KALAKAUA A WORLD WIDE TRIP WAS PLANNED TO BRING IMMIGRANTS TO WORK THE PLANTATION. HE FIRST MADE A STOPPED IN PORTUGAL, SPAIN AND THEN PROCEEDED TO WASHINGTON D. C. AND THEN WAS A GUEST OF CLAUS SPRECKLES OF CALIFORNIA THEN A TRIP TO ASIA THAT ROUNDED UP HIS TRIP AROUND THE WORLD. THE BRINGING OF IMMIGRANTS TO THE ISLANDS WERE NOTHING NEW TO THE PLANTATION AS MISSIONARIES WERE ALREADY SKILLED IN LANGUAGE BARRIERS. THEY DECIDED TO BRING THEM IN WAVES AS THE FIRST TO ARRIVED WERE THE CHINESE. THE TYPICAL CHINESE FAMILY HAD PARENTS NURTURING THEIR CHILDREN LIVELY CHARACTER WHICH WAS ALMOST WRITTEN LAW. THEY EVENTUALLY FINISHED THEIR CONTRACTS AND BECAME MERCHANTS. THE INTER CULTURE REACTION WITH THE MISSIONARIES, HAWAIIAN WERE SOMEHOW REMAINED INTACT. THE PORTUGUESE AND JAPANESE WERE THE NEXT TO ARRIVE. THE PORTUGUESE WERE CONTENT TO WORK THE PLANTATIONS AS SUPERVISORS AS THEY WERE CLOSELY RELATED TO MISSIONARIES IN WAYS OF CULTURE AND NATURE. THE SOCIETY CONSCIENCES JAPANESE FAMILY WHERE THE TYPICAL FAMILY WAS LIKE A MILITARY STYLE LEADERSHIP WHERE FIRST SONS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART OF FAMILY STRUCTURE. IT WAS THEIR BEING ON THE BOTTOM ON THE TOTEM POLE IN SOCIETY THAT PROVED TO BE THE DRIVING FORCE TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES AS THEY ALSO FINISHED THEIR CONTACTS AND BECAME MERCHANTS, FARMERS, POLITICIANS, LAWYERS AND DOCTORS. THE KOREANS WERE THE NEXT TO ARRIVE BUT THEIR STAY WAS A SAD ONE AS DIFFERENCES WITH THEIR PARENTS BACK HOME CAUSE ALOT OF THEM TO RETURN TO KOREA OR VENTURED TO THE WEST COAST TO HONOR THE TRUE WISHES OF THEIR PARENTS TO FIND THE TRUE MEANING OF AMERICA. THE FILIPINOS WERE THE LAST TO ARRIVE AND WERE CONTENT TO WORK THE PLANTATION. SIBLINGS WERE SINGLED OUT IN FAMILY LIFE AND THE REST WERE REQUIRED TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR SIBLINGS ACHIEVEMENTS. IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE LOMI LOMI SALMON, MANAPUA, RICE, MOCHI CRUNCH, SAIMIN, KALBI, ADOBO AND THE AMERICAN CUISINE BECAME THE STEADY DIET OF THE ISLANDS.
