Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha The Great (c. 1736 - c. 1761 to May 8 or 14, 1819) was the conqueror and first ruler of The Kingdom Of Hawaii. Kamehameha was born Pai'ea (Hawaiian, "Hard-Shelled Crab") in Kapakai, Kokoiki, Moiokini Heiau (no Kohala Historical Sites State Monument, a National Historic Landmark) in remote North Kohala, Hawaii Island. Accounts of his birth vary, but sources place his birth between 1736 and 1761, with historian Ralph Simpson Kuykendall believing it to be between 1748 and 1761. A great warrior, diplomat and leader, King Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom in 1810 after years of conflict. Hawaiian legend prophesized that a light in the sky with feathers like a bird would signal the birth of a great chief. In 1758, Halley's comet passed over Hawaii, a year several accounts place his birth. The future king was hidden from warring clans in secluded Waipi'o Valley after birth. After the death threat passed, Pai'ea came out of hiding and was renamed Kamehameha (Hawaiian, "The Lonely One"). Kamehameha was trained as a warrior and his renowned strength gave rise to account that he overturned the Naha Stone, a large volcanic rock located in Hilo, Hawaii estimated to weigh between 2.5 and 3.5 tons, a symbol of the Naha rank of Hawaiian royalty and used to prove the legitimacy of the bloodline of any claiming to be of Naha rank. You can still see the Naha Stone today in Hilo. During this time, warfare between chiefs throughout the islands was widespread. In 1778, Captain James Cook arrived in Hawaii, who named the islands The Sandwich Islands. Cooks arrival dovetailed with Kamehameha's ambitions. With the help of western weapons and advisors, Kamehameha won fierce battles at lao Valley in Maui and the Nu'uanu Pali on Oahu. The fortress-like Pu'ukohola Heiau on the island of Hawaii was built in 1790 prophesizing Kamehameha's conquest of the islands. In 1810, when King Kaumuali'i of Kaua?i agreed to become a tributary kingdom under Kamehameha, that prophecy was finally fulfilled. Kamehameha died on May 8 or 14, 1819, aged between 57 and 83 at Kamakahonu, his residence located at the north end of Kailua Bay in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii Island. In the tradition of ancient custom called hunakele (literally, "to hide in secret"), his body was hidden by his trusted friends, Hoapili and Ho'olulu; the mana, or power of a person, was considered to be sacred, so his body being buried in a hidden location protected his mana. As a result, Kamehameha's final resting place remains unknown. At one point in his reign, Kamehameha III asked that Hoapili show him where his father's bones were buried, but on the way there Hoapili knew that they were being followed, so he turned around. Kamehameha's unification of Hawaii was significant not only because it was an incredible feat, but also because under separate rule, the Islands may have been torn apart by competing western interests. Today, four commissioned statues stand to honor King Kamehameha's memory. Every June 11th, on Kamehameha Day, each of these statues are ceremoniously draped with flower lei to celebrate Hawaii's greatest king. The state of Hawaii gave a statue of him to the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, D.C., as one of two statues it is entitled to install there.
