9) The first constitution setting
up a constitutional monarchy
was promulgated by Kamehameha
III in 1840 (Malo was fortyseven
);
10) The first partitioning of land
in the Great Mahele took place
in 1848 (Malo was fifty-five);
11) The Kuleana Act of 1850 gave
the maka'ainana title in fee
to land (Malo was fiftyseven
);
12) Kamehameha III died in 1854;
Malo was already dead in 1853
at the age of 60.
The list of critical events does
not include the difficulties
experienced by the fledgling kingdom
with foreign nations between 1793 and
1853. During this period Kamehameha
III witnessed the civil war on Kaua'i
in 1824 (death of Liholiho in
England); the struggle between the
clergy of Protestant (American) and
Catholic (French) missions, until
1839, when freedom of religion became
a constitutional guarantee; the Lord
George Paulet episode in 1843 by which
the king temporarily ceded the government
to Britain; restoration of
sovereignty to the Hawaiian monarchy
by Admiral Thomas in 1843; and the
smallpox epidemic, 1853.
It would seem then that in
1853-1854 two great Hawaiian representatives
of the post-conversion
period of immense change in Hawaiian
life and society died: David Malo and
Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III). Their
attitudes were interesting contrasts.
Malo, destined for the Hawaiian
priesthood, followed that career out
by switching allegiance in the midstream
of life away from the Hawaiian
akua to the Akua Mana Loa, Jehovah of
the Old Testament and the "Perfect
Spirit" (akua Hemolele), or "Father:
(Makua) of the New Testament." By t
end of his life he had become too di
illusioned by the knowledge that
foreigners would be arriving in sucf
sufficiently larger numbers to
eventually overwhelm Hawaiians:
Malo was one of that class to
whom the prophetic vision of tht
oncoming tide of invasion--
peaceful though it was to be—tY
was destined to overflow his
native land and supplant in a
measure its indigenous populatio
was acutely painful and not to b
contemplated with any degree of
philosophic calm; and this in
spite of the fact that he fully
recognized the immense physical,
moral and intellectual benefits
that had accrued and were still
further to accrue to him and his
people from the coming of that ma
to his shores. And this sentiment,
which was like a division o
councils in his nature, controlle
many of his actions during his
life, and decided the place of hit
burial after death. 11/
In order to escape the "tide of
invasion," Malo requested burial atop
Mount Ball high above Lahainaluna
Seminary.
By contrast, Kauikeaouli, although
king, never submitted to conversion to
Christianity and never became a member
of the established Protestant Church
at Kawaiaha'o in Honolulu, although he
attended services. What would Henry
'Opukahaia say if he had lived to be a
bold instigator of such changes
wrought by two living Hawaiian
personalities, Hawaiian priest and
ruling chief, after the 1819 overthrow
of the kapu system that propelled them
into changed roles of diminished
authority and power? This is the
background against which to evaluate
the search today by Hawaiians for
traditional values in the culture that
got away from them.
