The Ruthless Koa Warriors Who Guarded Ancient Hawaii's Monarchy | Ancient Black Ops | Timeline

[@godofrock]

While living in Hawaii I was impressed with the people and their traditions. But most of all how they put out the aloha spirit a simple thing that makes life better. We need more of that everywhere today. I will always remember my time on the islands fondly the people are what make it special.

[@anitaliwai1868]

Kamehameha didn't stand out because of his "darting eyes" he stood out because he was over 7 foot tall and massively strong. The Naha stone resides today in front of Hilo library. Don't think you're moving it either - it is huge!

[@kanoawai]

A lot of Ali’i were tall Kalani’opu’u was 6’11. Keuoa was 6’6.

If the men present during the meeting related that he stood out because of his darting eyes , and wrote it in their journal , then i think that it is an accurate and fitting account .

This is my first time seeing an account that fully explained the context of this incident based on psychological and cultural motivations. It feels so much more real and humanizing to explain it based on the koa warriors' mentality rather than the usual patronizing take of polynesian natives not having any sense of object value or personal property.

[@mathoskualawa9000]

This documentary is outdated in regards to its understanding and portrayal of the "koa" warriors. First off, the word "koa" by itself can mean brave, not just warrior. In fact, the word "pūʻali" was used more to describe the soldiery, whereas "koa" was just a way to describe anyone brave, hence "pūʻali koa" (brave soldiers) and "pūkaua koa" (brave war leader). The truth is we don't know how the tree got its name, but the word "koa" is a cognate for "toa", which exists in other Polynesian languages like Samoan and Maori. The word "pūʻali" means to gird, as a loincloth. The "malo" which is the Hawaiian loincloth, was girded before combat and battle, hence the term "pūʻali" to describe its soldiers. In modern days, the term "pūʻali" is used for any kind of soldiery, such as "pūʻali koa" for "Army" as opposed to "pūʻali lewa" for "Air Force." This is an *okay* attempt at trying to convey the Hawaiian story to a foreign audience, but it misses the mark on accuracy.

Nice to review the earliest days of Captain Cooks’ arrival and subsequent death on the big island, Hawaii. The Polynesian people along the western Pacific Rims’ islands, all the way down to New Zealand and the Pacific South Sea Islands, for millennia were the largest population of citizens in these areas. Polynesians! They are truly a remarkable people built extremely large and strong, so of course they would have a great warrior class, but they also had their “incredible seafaring skills”that allowed them to travel thousands of miles to islands like the Hawaiian Islands. A beautiful, proud, artistic, premier fishing people. I enjoyed this documentary very much. It shows how the British could be and often were overly pompous, dependent on their technology, and military skills. Also, a proud group of great seafaring people that definitely had one of the greatest Navy’s’ through out Middle Ages until the 20century where many of the First World Nations were creating high functioning Navy’s as well. 👍🥰

[@bronz12]

We were also feared as powerful prayer "E Molokai Pule O O". We could pray a pua'a (pig) to death and bring the pua'a back to life. That's why we could relate to the teachings of Jesus Christ because some of us used the gifts from the creator to heal, and then we had those who used their gifts to cause harm or hurt others.
