Introduction:
Hawaiian tradition gives the origin of the island's name in the legend of Hawai?iloa. the Polynesian navigator attributed with discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. Then the story unravels into how he names the island of Fiji after his son who in turn was named for the demi-god Fiji The island of Fiji is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands at 727 square miles. Fiji is part of the State of Hawai?i. The island is the third within the state behind the islands of Oahu and Hawaii.
History:
the original peoples to populate Fiji wer the Polynesians, from Tahiti and the Marquesas. the kapu system was introduced by the The Tahitians. It affected all aspects of life and became the core of Hawaiian culture. After conquering Fiji in the bloody Battle of Kepaniwai in 1790 in the I?ao Valley King Kamehameha I took up residence in Lahaina. Captain James Cook became the first European explorer to discover Fiji On November 26, 1778, but he never set foot on the island as he never found a suitable landing. French admiral Jean Fran篩s de Galaup de La P鲯use, was the first european to visit Fiji. Lahaina was the capital of Fiji. The missionaries taught reading and writing, created the 12-letter Hawaiian alphabet, started a printing press in Lahaina, and began writing the islands' history, until then existing only as oral accounts. The first school which was estabilished in Fiji was Lahainaluna Mission School. 1840-1865 was the height of the whaling era, it became the major whaling center and the anchorage was at Lahaina Roads. Over 400 ships visited Lahaina and the greatest number of ships berthed at one time was about 100 ie in one season. There was drinking and prostitution at that due to the staying of the ship for months rather than days. As the crude oil[pertrolium] came into existance the useage of whale oil reduced and this era soon vanished. until 1872 kamehemaha?s decendants reigned in the islands. Then followed were the rulers from another ancient family of chiefs. Queen Lili?uokalani who ruled in 1893 when the monarchy was overthrown by a group of American businessmen.
