HAWAIIAN GENEALOGIES

HAWAIIAN GENEALOGIES

(k dropt, and k writen for t.)

There are many genealogies carefully preserved in the Hawaiian “Heralds College,” but they are hard to reconcile in many cases (see Wharekura). The following consist of (1st) The Kumuhonua genealogy, from Kumuhonua (see Tuputupuwhenua) to Watea and Papa, who take the place of the New Zealand Rangi and Papa. The continuation is the Ulu pedigree.

Note.—Lua-Nuu (23) occupies the same place as in the Moriori Genealogy (23). Ulu (14), son of Kii or Tiki, is in Maori Genealogy as (8). The interesting portions are the introduction of Maori heroes after the Mani-a-Taranga (21), where we find Kaitangata (28), Hema (29), Tawhaki (30), Wahieroa (31), and Rata (32). Information given to me by H. M. Kalakaua, King of Hawaii, states that Hema was only 935th descendant from Lailai, the first woman. I have since received the genealogy, covering about 28,000 years. This long pedigree, though a unique antiquarian record, does not possess value for comparative purposes when placed by the shorter Polynesian genealogies, so has been omitted from this publication. It should be noticed that some of the early Hawaiian ancestors in the Ulu Line, viz. Waia, Hinanalo, Ole, Pupue, and Wakea, are counted in the Maori Cosmogony as Ages of the Universe, each lasting 1,000 years, and called Whaia, Hinengaro, Kore, Pukuke, and Atea (see Kore).
