This book is the second half of Samuel Mänaiakalani Kamakau ’s landmark text on the

history of Kamehameha and the kingdom he established. Written in Hawaiian as a

serial column over three years, it ran from October 20, 1866, to October 14, 1869,

in two consecutive Hawaiian newspapers: K u o k o a and Ke Au Okoa. Publication of

this portion began on February 22, 1868.

Due to its length, the account has been published in two parts. Ke Kumu Aupuni1

or “The Foundation of Nationhood,” tells of Kamehameha’s birth, his rise to

power and conquest of the islands, his death and that of his son and heir,

Kalanikualiholiho, Kamehameha II. This book, Ke Aupuni Mö‘ï or “The King-

dom,” gives an account of Hawai‘i under the reign of Kamehameha’s other sacred

son, Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III, a time of great formation and change.

This book presents the work of Samuel Mänaiakalani Kamakau as he presented

it to his own people and his peers, in the language and order in which he wrote it.

S. M. Kamakau has been relied upon for nearly 130 years as a singularly important

historian and Hawaiian author. Material has been drawn from this and other of his

works to create critical history and cultural texts.2 These publications have utilized

translations of Kamakau’s work, often reordered for clarity or continuity, changes

which are not included in this text.

Existing originals of this historical account are rare, fragile and often nearl y

unreadable, thus the material has been retyped, maintaining the column, paragraph

and sentence format of the original, except where noted. The glottal stop and

macron are added to aid modern second-language readers, and paragraphs are

numbered for easy reference.

This book was made possible by many persons, and was made necessary by the

reflowering of interest in Hawaiian language, history and culture that has been tak-

ing place in the last two decades. This renaissance has resulted in a rapidly growing

audience of Hawaiian language readers who will find Kamakau’s writing to be both

educational and enjoyable. The text also addresses the current demand for renewed

access to historical and cultural materials for research and cultural inquiry. An

extensive index, created for this text, facilitates access to the contents even for those

not fluent in the Hawaiian language.
