Ho'o-paa (Steadfast ones) - This group represented the elders which sang and played musical instruments. When Queen Ka'ahumanu became a Christian, Hula was banned as it was a pagan ritual dance with moves the missionaries saw as vulgar, disgusting and sinful King Kamehameaha III re-established Hula by default in the 1830's when he insisted on religious freedom. Unable to suppress the Hula completely, the missionaries then insisted that it only be done wearing high-neck gowns with long sleeves. Hollywood took the Hula and portrayed it in a much different manner. By the mid 20th century, hula was becoming more commercialized and new instruments were added such as the guitar and ukelele. During the 1970's a revival of sorts took place and interest in the traditional dance was renewed. There are two main types of Hula performed today: the hula kahiko (ancient) and the hula auana

  • The Great Mahele Research Paper

    386 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Great Mahele was a land division in 1848 which created a massive alteration towards Hawaiians’ society. The Mahele was enacted because King Kamehameha III, influenced by foreign advisors, wanted to prevent a brutal and hostile takeover from the foreigners. Another purpose of the Mahele was to grant Hawaiians an ample amount of land. The Mahele did not serve its full purpose. Violence between foreigners and Hawaiians was avoided, but the majority of the land was lost to foreigners (Cachola). The Mahele did not benefit the Hawaiians because only foreigners had sufficient money to purchase the land and because the land that was given to the Hawaiians had limited resources (Menton and Tamura 116).
