- The Hawaiian Koa were elite warriors in a land dominated by war. They were grand masters of a martial art called Lua - a way to break every bone in an enemy's body. When Captain Cook lands on Hawaii, the Koa warriors greet him in the worst way.

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!
A lot of Aliâi were tall Kalaniâopuâu was 6â11. Keuoa was 6â6.
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 .
â@@hectormunoz6052 we know of our Hawaiian History & Kamehameha was a Giant especially in comparison to Haole from Britain that musta been intimidating... I Question any Information/History written by the Colonizer's! History is always written & re written by the Victor's after all!
â@@kahekilikahahawai586Exactly!!

This documentary is outdated in regards to its understanding and portrayal of the "koa" warriors.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 "pĆ«Ê»ali" was used more to describe the soldiery, whereas "koa" was just a way to describe anyone brave, hence "pĆ«Ê»ali koa" (brave soldiers) and "pĆ«kaua 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 "pĆ«Ê»ali" means to gird, as a loincloth. The "malo" which is the Hawaiian loincloth, was girded before combat and battle, hence the term "pĆ«Ê»ali" to describe its soldiers. In modern days, the term "pĆ«Ê»ali" is used for any kind of soldiery, such as "pĆ«Ê»ali koa" for "Army" as opposed to "pĆ«Ê»ali 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.
Itâs free to watch.. make your own if you want it so authentic.
@@longshanks5531 It's free to watch, but it wasn't free to make. Someone sponsored this production, and it's still subpar on accuracy despite the budget for props and reenactments. Maybe less pretending and more *actual* history.
@@mathoskualawa9000 then make your own documentary, or just keep complaining about haole videos free for you to watch chief lol
@@longshanks5531 Did you make this video? Bcuz you whining like you made this video and got your feelings hurt.
@@longshanks5531 Wow small kine hostel yeah? No need to be, just take in the info & learn from it... Those of us from the Islands have had 0 representation & the little we've had is in actuality a misrepresentation!!

@mathoskualawa Mahalo for the info... I'm originally from Oahu but 30 years on Big Island & the more I got to know the Big Island, the more passionate I was about learning our history, as well as sharing with others as I truly believe the healing of trauma is in knowing the truth of the past so it's not repeated! I did not know what you shared so Mahalo plenty for your Knowledge!
Why not one Hawaiian elder interviewed or gave correct history of Hawaii

Nice to review the earliest days of Captain Cooksâ arrival and subsequent death on the big island, Hawaii.
The Polynesian people along the western Pacific Rimsâ 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 âincredible seafaring skillsâthat 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 Navyâsâ through out Middle Ages until the 20century where many of the First World Nations were creating high functioning Navyâs as well. đđ„°
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.

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.
The warriors fighting each other shows how they resolve their issues. Only handmade weapons and no long range killings
Now the locals canât afford to live there
Still plenty
Yes Oprah and A list Billionaire's are buying up all island's fcs. God bless you all and hope you all get your lands back đđđŻ
It absolutely baffles me that people think of hawaii people as push overs and say they donât face struggles, just because they live on a island paradise, that same island paradise bred one of the most ruthless warriors, and has had over 1,000âs and 1,000âs of bloody battles, I literally seen people in comments say hawaii has no ghettos, like dude lmfao
Who thinks of them as pushovers? Those are some tough dudes and they aren't afraid to beat down some tourists lol
There ainât a single spot on the âÄina that doesnât have bodies buried under it. Before King Kamehameha the great united the kingdom we fought and massacred each other for hundreds of years. Wouldnât expect any foreigners to understand since the states have damn near wiped our culture and history from existence.
They never heard of Killa Hauli Day
Obviously, none of them have actually been to Hawai'i đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ
Right they don't know where ste as kuz they sked lol Waikiki not da ghetto bra lolđđđ
Ancestors of Max Holloway! The best is blessed!!
I so enjoyed that. Ive aways loved Hawall & their traditions. â€
It was a thrilled watching documentary about Koa warriors..in Hawaii islands...thank you đ(Timeline) channel for sharing
I believe this documentary missed the fact he arrived first one Kauai at the beginning of makahiki... Then was gone for 1.5 years and came back at end of makahiki... Was treated poorly rather than worshipped then left for 3 weeks and had to return because of mast...
Many of the hand to hand combat techniques in this video are VERY reminiscent of Marine Corps line training in the mid nineties at least.
My 1st thought was UFC because we have so many Native Hawaiian UFC Champs from our Island's!
that is probably where they are from , Although I'm not famililiar with the Hawaiin way of fighting I do a bit of polynesian traditional weapons training and i know with those arts the best at them have added to the traditional moves with alot of military type CQB moves these days
So glad this showed up in my feed.
Hawaiians were tough tough people the way they are today.
Also misses the fact that the ball bounced off of hala armor when the musket misfired.
Special forces Dance off!! Go!!!
So that's where Goku got his signature energy blast
Ya all Dragonball z is Hawaii somon legends it's super cool
King Kamehameha was amazing worth reading
They didnât speak on how the King in WW1 vowed to help the British. And how they were thanked by the capitol trying to be taken from them.
Even today, from his daughter and granddaughter.
there was no king before or durring WW1, hawaii was already overthrown by then by the sugar barrons
Thanks for posting. We have vacationed to the Big Island and appreciate that it seems less crowded and commercial than the other islands. A lot of the scenes look like they are from a place we visited & snorkled. The one with the wooden carvings looks like 'Two Step'. We went night manta ray observing in the bay.
Hawaiian Pride... the Mana is deeper than Space, if you know you know

Donât look like King Kamehameha people to me. Presentation is just as important as the information.
Change every biblical book to black people den and rip off white Jesus in churches

do note. Paiea actually flipped the Naha stone completely.
I hate it when people make documentaries about Hawaii and canât even pronounce Hawaiian words.
get over yourself
I like kamahamahaâs safety pin lol
Omg I was thinking that lol... Couldn't believe it how cheesy!
I have read biographies of Cook's voyages and the log of his ship. It was Cook's 2nd visit to the is
I think this raises an interesting point despite them having such power they were destroyed by others, not because of how strong they were but simply because of the technology they did not have. It seems that no matter who we become we will never be able to hold a candle against the things we build.
1)Notice how this is a Westernised Account??With No ELDER Native Accounts? 2) Obviously you are UNAWARE that 1000 yrs ago the Kanaka MĂ oli (Native Hawaiins) were making ANNUAL JOURNEYS by outrigger to Aotearoa NZ to their subset ppls called Tangata Maori (Nz MÄori) for the equivalent of the EASTERN POLYNESIAN OLYMPICS.. Maybe get educated by the actual ppls instead of the 1 sided European Opinions....OUR ANCESTORS WERE MORE INTELLIGENT & RESOURCEFUL & RESILIENT & INGENIUS THAN MOST.. I MEAN OUR ANCESTORS DISCOVERED & VISITED THE ANTARCTIC BEFORE EUROPEANS DIDđđđđ
@@whetuification I'm really not competing with you on which race is better. You sound really racist ngl
Remember that kauai was never conquered!
I've been waiting for this.
Who did the research for this?

Hey Mike love the channel, been following forever, my Dad's Army SF & digs your stuff too,thanks for tapping into my peoples history đ€
How did they communicate with each other?
Interesting the story sounds eerily similar to Fin Mac Cool's childhood crossed with the Deirdre prophesy,sort of an echo of some Greek mythology. Nasty prophesy leads to child being raised in secret seems to run in almost every culture when you dig into it.
thank you for this tune in to apple tvs chief of war to see us in action!!!
You got any info on when it's going to be available?
The chief used foreign weapons to conquer the islands...so called united them...truly didn't conquer them all...the foreigners then conquered them all...pimped them
The first visit was a time of peace and feasting. No violence allowed. Upon Cook's return to the islands he was killed and devoured. The assimilation of the Hawaiians is and was unfair. The Hawaiians were so far more advanced in so many entities, most, can never concieve. Hawaiian studies and lived on sacred koa warrior land. Mahalo.đđ€
Yeah you can say the same about just every indigenous population that suffered colonization, and assimilated and appropriated to their overlords manifest.
Hawaiians also used hardwood clubs lined with Shark teeth. Some even had Marlin Bills on the opposite end to be used for stabbing.
Its cool to see my old roomate Mcshane as a Koa Warriorđ€đ€đđ aloha my braddah..
It's how life in the island was when you know there are other islands near by
The âWarriorsâ they are showing looked nothing like that!đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł

So Kamehameha was Muten Roshi Masters?
đȘ good stuff I really enjoyed it

The guy narrating the tv show is British, this is probably their point of view.
And probably why no Hawaiian actors or historians are in this.
There is no rush like you get from winning a fight
They forgot to mention the part when they ate him. No BS. They actually ATE him.
His name fits his end đ
Nope, Kanaka Maoli did NOT eat him. They cooked him in an imu to remove his flesh from his bones, but NEVER ate his flesh.
I would have đA Ku Kanaka
British warriors were the kings of combat back then.
Not a place on earth where the Briish Flag didn't waved and the sun never sat on Briish land.
These Hawaiians people danced and were done by bullets, period! Briish won them all.
Firing up the cannons showing their power also shows how destructive and murderous they are
sign of times and fits their military origins. hide your blind hate. see past it.
He gave them knives? Really? Not too smart, eh.
đ Brah Kamehameha was bolo head? I no think so

Mahalo friend.
They won A battle......
That warrior nature and even some of the language (terminology) is evident in the MÄori of New Zealand .
Meh. They only showed up in NZ between 1250 and 1300 A.D. They weren't there for long before being civilized.

King Kamehameha was more brown than portrayed in this video, also he was not bald.
No Ka Oi!

But what land was open and Maui and Lahaina. Remember 48 and then 68 No Ka Oi. Never surrender the Capitol!
They like to remember Indigenous people like they are gone. WE ARE HERE! And WE WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER.
War was lost
Battle was won
This is so inaccurate it sad all this is , is a narrative change and left out the most substantial information Iâm sure on purpose!
1) kauai was never conquered
2) Kamehameha was backed by who? If he was fighting against the other Hawaiians??
3) the diseases that were brought to the islands killing 90% of the kanaka in a matter of 3-4 years
4) the imprisonment of the queen
This is all so current for the kanaka here itâs only 3-4 generations ago!
The westerns tried to change the narrative with Kamehameha schools , Hawaiian home lands and the merry monarch⊠All to keep the people dumb down and to forget what really happened!

Then the white man gave Kamehameha the Great guns and cannons, and he forgot about all this antiquated stuff and united Hawaii in a couple years.
Took a few decades to get Kauai to surrender
Hawaiian warriors under Kamehameha continue their traditional methods of warfare while augmented with firearms and cannons obtained from Europeans during the unification of the Hawaiian Islands.
Wth u guys talkin bout lol đ they used shark teeth weapons not stone axes đ almost every weapon they had was with shark teeth i worked on a real kumu hula teachers house and all the weapons she had was all shark teeth second off cuz no even use one asian guy to be a â koa warrior â use the braddahs who is in the court using braddahs not even with cultural tats and most of the warriors had cultural tats
Kaaaaameeeeeeehaaaaaaameeeeeehaaaaaaa
The chief sitting down while wearing the cloak is very questionableâŠ
Ka kau
Let's fight
That's Hawaiian and Samoan saying
and they ate him.
Way too many commercials while watching this!
everything that has happened before this moment - is in history.
Whose the genius that picked non-Hawaiians to represent Kanakas! My King didn't look like a skinny dope scrub. Kamehameha was 7' pure muscle, the real Mr. Universe!. In fact, all Hawaiian men were cut up with muscles!
4 real, most of the actors have straight European facial features.. probably pray tanned to make them look pacific islander
â@@PatrickMJrmany of the original hawains are mixed with European due to colonixation.. using tongans as actors would have been more historically correct.. but yea nowadays

So the men could be 6ft to 7 ft. Am I correct.
Both male and females could easily reach 6 ft in height; 7 ft was a little less common.
What happened with todayâs âHawaiianâ people⊠donât see many 6ft even
@@longshanks5531 oh, they're present. My ex (pure Hawaiian) is 6'4"; our grandsons tower over 6 ft, although our granddaughter is the tiny one, at 5'10".
My cousin is 6'4 , but I'm only 5'8 , but I'm built more muscular,my uncle's are built too,& I was a freak athlete,my 16 yr.old son is pure muscle, our best attribute is heart & fighting ability
So the Hawaiians were colonialists before contact with westerners. Just like the native americans. That you for pointing out FACTS.
Mana - Honour/Bushido? i just compare. its a way to life?
It's a life force that can be in life forms ,nature, or even objects, it can grow, be taken, absorbed or transferred thru blood
This is why this Native American?On the mainland sees the polynesians as my brother's my brother's who's land was taken
Except Kamehameha was about 10 shades darker than the person portraying him and the modern âHawaiiansâ.
Kamayamaya was a white giant.. things like him are why the British were even actually there.

New Zealand Maori are the same people
I can see where you would get that impression as they probably used a few New Zealanders to portray Hawaiians in the video.
â@@martinbattilana4249NZ Maori are genetically closer to Hawaiians than other Polynesians such as Samoans. They call themselves Maoli.
Both are Polynesian speaking peoples not the same people. Calling them same people will be like calling both the Dutch and Germans same people as they are Germanic speaking peoples.
@@MrLantean Maori are closer to certain Polynesian people's than others. They are closer to Hawaiians than Samoans.
@@JaemanEdwards But still that does not mean that they are the same people. This indicates that they share a common ancestry which later branch off into related groups.
Your depiction using actors to portray full blooded 7 foot tall Hawaiian warriors from the 18th-Century was a little off.
umm...this is a cheap history documentary. probably hired from an agency and they send who they send.
They were not 7ft1 fark upđ
Because, you know, all the people from the 18th century are dead.
Similar to how they try and portray vikings who were in reality 4ft tall and obese đđ
in the sense of hollywood disney this docu is misleading
