Kamehameha: the Man, the Legends, the Prophecies.

We have been hard at work learning about Hawaiian culture and the people who have had an influence on it.  Even though Kamehameha was a real person there are many mysteries about him.  Nobody knows exactly when he was born, and there is some speculation about who his father is.  Priests foretold that his birth would challenge the rule of Alapa'inui. Because of this his mother had him hid for the beginning part of his life.  He was trained as a warrior during his teenage years.  Ask your child to tell you the story of Kamehameha and the Naha Stone.
