High Chief, Kalaimanokahoʻowaha by John Webber
The Rulers of the Hawaiian Islands (noho aliʻi o ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻAina) are a line of native Hawaiians who were independent rulers of various subdivisions of the land and islands of Hawaii. Their genealogy is traced to Hānalaʻanui and others.^[1] Beginning between 1 and 600 AD, the first Polynesians began to settle the islands. By the first one thousand year history, the settlements were living along the parameters of the islands and beginning to cultivate their own foods in gardens, and within another 500 years would begin to spread inward to the inner lands of the islands when religion began to become more emphasized.^[2]
