( * EXCUSE US once again for the AUDIO issues…Not truly having the funds to have a fully funtional Studio has created issues for us, but we are always trying to fix them…Mahalo Nui Loa for your Kokua, understanding ) So when did it all start in Hawaii? With what History tells us the first settlers to the Islands arrived from the Marquesas sometime around 500 known as the TRUE Hawaiians or “KANAKA MAOLI”…Settlers from Tahiti arrived sometime in 1000 and may have enslaved the Marquesans.  The Marquesans, also known as Menehune, had been a much smaller race…Tahitians had been much stronger and larger, forcing them to build temples and work in the fields. The Menehune had been the true first settlers to Hawaii, making them the true Original Hawaiians of the islands. Today the invasion of the Tahitians are known by all as the HAWAIIANS “Kanaka” who currently live on Hawaii with possible bloodlines of the Menehune still on the last known locations of Kauai and Niihau…In a Nut shell that explains the time before the West discovered Hawaii. The WARRIOR race of Hawaiians known today had been the Tahitian Warriors that invaded HAWAII so many years ago…King Kamehameha the Great, being the Largest, most powerful and greatest Tahitian/Hawaiian Warrior of them all at at over 7 feet tall and 350 pounds. But is this a story and myth or is this fact? IT’S FACT and this is how we know…it is WELL KNOWN that the ALI’I NUI…ROYAL CHEIFS wore the feather cape of Royalty in the Red and Yellow feathers…The Cape still exits today and is the length of 7 Feet…Hawaiian chiefs NEVER EVER let their feather capes touch the ground when worn in Battle…So Kamehameha stood well over 7 Feet…possibly 7’3″ or 7’4″ in his prime. 

The British explorer Captain James Cook was the first known Westerner to sight the island of Oahu, on January 18, 1778 sometime after his exploration of Tahiti. He was killed in a fight with Hawaiians when he returned to the islands a year later, Turning his gun on the chief was abad, bad idea. With this discovery of Hawaii many Westerners would soon come to the islands with the idea of conquest in mind. Powerful Hawaiian rulers of Royalty (Ali’i Nui) battled for control of the island chain. In 1795, King Kamehameha the Great, who controlled the Big Island of Hawaii, captured Maui and Molokai and set his eyes on Oahu. Kamehameha’s large fleet of battle canoes landed in present-day Waikiki which is all part of Hawaii history. His warriors moved across the valley and into the mountains pursuing the late Chief of Maui and now Chief of Oahu, Kalanikupule, who took rule from his late dead father, Kahekili, who was ruler of Maui and Oahu. From the first battle on Maui against Kalani to his battle at Punch Bowl and his last at Nu’uanu Pali, Kamehemeha was relentless in uniting the Hawaiian islands. Several months later after the coward Kalani had ran from the battle of Maui and Oahu he was found in the mountains and put in front of the the Great King where he was sacrified! Kahmehameha’s place as ruler and King of the Hawaiian islands was complete with the surrender of Kauai’s cheif Kaumualii.

During the reign of King Kamehameha Honolulu was a village of small huts near the water, but it was clear to sailors that Honolulu harbor offered a perfect place to set anchor. As more ships came, Honolulu began to grow and grow so King Kamehameha moved his residence from Waikiki to Honolulu to tighten his control on the sandalwood trade, but his reign ended in 1819 when he passed of natural causes. By the 1820s,
