something like saints, angels, and

System in Ka'u, Hawaii (Rutland,

•17/ According to Hawaiian
tradition, all Hawaiian a l i ' i and
maka'ainana descend through Haloa from
Papa and Wakea who were superhuman/
supernatural beings. Haloa was
second-born after a miscarriage that
developed into the taro plant, thus
elevating the lineage of this staff of
Hawaiian l i f e above man himself, who
derives his strength from the plant.
Papa and Wakea also gave birth to the
Hawaiian Islands before the birth of
Haloa, thus making the Hawaiian people
genetically-related to their land and
subservient to it by Hawaiian concepts
of ranking by birth. Significantly,
the name of the first-born island,
Hawai'i, is applied to all junior
members of the family, giving ka
pae'aina Hawai'i ("the Hawai'i cluster
of lands" or Hawai'i in the sense of
the archipelago) and ka_ po'e Hawai'i
("the Hawai'i people" or the
Hawaiians).
Voyagers mentioned in precontact
traditions include P i l i , Pa'ao,
'Aukelenuia'lku and others who married
into the original Hawai'i lineage. Of
course, 3ince Western and Eastern
contact many other people have married
into the Hawai'i lineage, but its
unity has been maintained by
recognition of the common lineage at
the same time that pride in the other
contributing lineages is expressed.
18/ The history of education in
most parts of the United States starts
considerably later than in Hawai'i.
Many people in Hawai'i take pride in
noting that Lahainaluna is the first
American high school established west
of the Rocky Mountains, although this
i s technically incorrect since
Lahainaluna was not p o l i t i c a l l y under
the flag of the United States until
1899. It cannot even be counted
geographically American because
Hawai'i is not geographically part of
North or South America. The early
establishment of secondary education
in Hawai'i speaks well for the
academic interests and capabilities of
Hawaiians.

the English Language, 2d ed. (London:
Routledge and Kegan Paul, Ltd., 1957),
p. 80.
20/ Some have argued that the
introduction of writing harmed the
Hawaiian people, but there is l i t t le
evidence to support such an idea and
much that contradicts i t . Many
Hawaiian traditions would be lost
today if there was no written Hawaiian
language because non-Hawaiians wrote
very l i t t l e about Hawaiian culture,
compared to the many writings in
Hawaiian on the topic by Hawaiian
speakers. The introduction of writing
did not affect the native sounds cf
Hawaiian, and Hawaiian continues to be
spoken by native speakers with the
'okina and kahako, although these were
not regularly written for over one
hundred years. (See also note 5 on
the continuation of regional
pronunciations of consonants.)
The only area in which writing sic
have affected Hawaiian culture
negatively is that it may have reduced
the heavy dependency on
