Videos of Hawaiian History
Our videos of Hawaiian history range from the quixotic debut of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay, the tragically madcap character of Hawai’i’s first encounter with the West, who 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.
