Keri Yokoyama February 6, 2012 Social Studies Funk pansy of Manoa Guess who was one of the around popular people in Manoa? Queen Elizabeth Kaahumanu of course Kaahumanu was one of the most storied residents of all Manoa. She was famous because she made a big opposition on Manoa She was excessively the wife of Kamehameha in fact, she was one of Kamehamehas favorite (out of twenty-one ). In this article, I will tell you all about Queen Elizabeth Kaahumanu and her impact on the Manoa Community. In upper Manoa, she had a summer abode. Its name was Ka Pukaomaomao, meaning the green gate. This makes sense because her house had a green gate and green shutters. The house had a blend of Polynesian and Western styles. In the book Manoa the story of a valley, it says that the roof was probably thatched or peaked. (They dont know provided they are pretty sure it was. ) Kaahumanu had many friends and invited them to her summerhouse. Her house became a popular place to visit. The house is n on there today, but the lay that it was on is still there with nothing on it. If you go to Manoa itinerary and Oahu Avenue, there is a green overgrown path that leads to a tiny clearing covered with senile hau trees.Keep going on the path and you will find the land that Kaahumanus house, Ka Pukaomaomao, was on. Kaahumanu was also know for a newfangled water well. Her well was located close to her home. It was on Huelani Drive. The name of Kaahumanus fresh water well was Kawaihuelani, meaning The waters of Huelani. People believe that moowahine, meaning, Part-lizard, part-woman being is the guardian of the well. Kaahumanu also made a difference to one school in particular, Punahou School. Kaahumanu ordered/suggested Boki (Oahus governor) and his wife, Kuini Liliha, to give the land of Kapunahou to Reverend and Mrs.Hiram Bingham. From there, they built a school, which became Punahou School. That is how Punahou came to be. After catching an illness coming back from a trip, Kaahum anu asked to be taken to her home in the mountains. She died in her home in Manoa. Manoa was a place she loved so thats why she came back to visit one last time before her death. I hope you erudite a lot about Kaahumanu and her impact on Manoa. There are many things about her that I found interesting and I hope you found interesting tooSo now, to remember Kaahumanu as a queen and a resident of Manoa, think Queen of Manoa Works Cited Bouslog, Charles, and Thelma Greig.
