Lili?uokalani was born on September 2, 1838, to the High Chief Caesar Kapa?akea and High Chiefess Keohokalole. She was named Lili?u (Smarting) Kamaka?eha (The Sore Eye). It may seem as if the baby had an eye problem when she was born, but this was not so. The High Chiefess Kina?u, who gave Lili?u her name, was the one with the sore eye. Besides Lili?u Kamaka?eha, her Christian name was Lydia, a name given her at her baptism. It was not until years later that she was called Lili?uokalani.

The Fish and Their Gifts/Na Makana a Na 'Ia is just such a student-created product. Written and illustrated by ten middle- and high-school students, this book is the result of an interdisciplinary book-publishing project integrating English Language Arts, Fine Arts, Hawaiian Language, Hawaiian Studies, and Science and Technology.

This volume contains the history of Hawaii's last reigning king, David Kalakaua. It covers all the way from the beginning (birth) of David Kalakaua, his time as king, and all the way to his death. A highly respected man of his time, this book was written to educate the students with a piece of Hawaiian history and the story of our last king of Hawaii.

Kalakaua's name translates literally as "The Day [of] Battle." As his life matched his name, King David Kalakaua's reign was very much a daily battle between Hawaiian traditions and values and Western influences.After his death this king has come to be recognized as a "renaissance man," a modern man of many talents and interests. However, in life his heart was like that of his forefathers, the Hawaiians of old. His story is of a man who faced the challenges of his time a...

Writing in the nineteenth century, Hawaiian historian Kepelino said, "However diligently the foreigner seeks, he cannot find all. He gets a fragment here and there and goes home." That is very true. I have read what is available, but changes came so rapidly after 1778 that much of the information about the life and customs of long-ago Hawaii is lost. My greatest help has come from Mary Kawena Pukui. As a little girl in Kau, on the island of Hawaii, she lived with a wise...

Hawaiian words used in the text, other than proper names, are identified through the use of italic type. These words are usually defined in the sentence in which they are first used or in the Glossary at the back of the book or both. Most Hawaiian words, like most words in English and other languages, can have more than one meaning depending on how and where they are used. Many Hawaiian words form plurals through the use of preceding articles or by changes in the diacr...
