According to legend Hawaiian Kahunas (priests) prophesized that a light in the sky with feathers like a bird would
signal the birth of a great chief who would unify the Hawaiian Islands. It
is believed that King Kamehameha was born in 1758, the year Halley’s comet
passed over Hawaii. His birth name was Paiʻea (Hard-Shelled Crab). The current
Ali’i (royalty) did not like the idea of losing power. That was why Pai’ea was
hidden from warring clans in secluded Waipiʻo Valley after birth. Later he was
renamed Kamehameha (The Lonely One) and trained as a warrior.
His legendary strength was proven when he overturned the 3.5 ton Naha Stone in Hilo on the Big Island. Legend said that whoever had the Mana (divine power) to move the Naha Stone would unify and rule the Hawaiian Islands.
Destined for greatness from birth, King Kamehameha was known
as a great warrior, diplomat and leader.
King Kamehameha had visions and the ability to achieve his
many goals with a focus on infrastructure and raising funds for weapons and
canoes to empower his forces. Even his marriages to about 30 wives, were

With strategies and timing and after many years of conflict,
King Kamehameha united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom on June
11th, 1810. This significant event also prevented the Islands from being torn
apart by competing western interests.
Up to this day June 11th is known and honored as
King Kamehameha Day in Hawaii. It is a celebration of togetherness for the
entire nation where different cultures come together and recognize each other.
Four statues stand on the Hawaiian Islands in honor of King
Kamehameha’s memory. Every June 11th they are ceremoniously draped
with flower leis to celebrate Hawaii’s greatest king.
Hilo was King Kamehameha’s first seat of government.
King Kamehameha died in May of 1819. Nobody knows for sure
where his resting grounds are. A Hawaiian proverb says ‘The morning star alone
knows where Kamehameha’s bones are guarded’.
According to legend, King Kamehameha I may be buried at the
royal palace of Moku’ula in Maui in the grotto of a half-dragon, half-woman
named Kihawahine. Others believe his remains are in a cave in Maui’s Iao
Valley, where many great Hawaiian chiefs are buried.
Chosen from birth to lead his people, King Kamehameha I was truly a great king, ruler above all others, strategist and philosopher.
