Videos of Hawaiian History
The quixotic debut of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay and the tragically madcap character of the encounter seems to have established an enduring pattern for Hawai’i’s relationship with the modern world. This was a pattern by which many Hawaiians found themselves hornswoggled by white men who dismissed them as savages at worst and as naïve, good-natured rustics at best. But the true nature of the conflict lay in the values of a “sacred society” (such as ancient Hawai’i), which emphasized regulating man’s relationship with the gods and his environment. In Western society, however, the emphasis is largely on individual and especially property rights–which didn’t exist (in the same sense that we understand them) in ancient Hawai’i, but which form the basis of the relationship between Hawaiians and the rest of the world.
