As a native to Kauai, I'm surprised and ecstatic that some1 has taken time to dive into the deeper history rather than the skimmed overview written in the history books. It's channels like these that make the world informed and whole
I teach American history and taught about the annexation of Hawaii yesterday to my 8th period. It’s weird sometimes how life can have many similar events happen at the same time. Who would of thought my favorite historical narrative channel would have a video about the EXACT same subject I just taught. Life is crazy in many ways, right?
That's cool! Since it follows the establishment of the Kingdom of Hawaii, this video will be pre-annexation, but if folks are keen we'd love to do a follow-up on the annexation and statehood of Hawaii
I haven't watched the video yet, but if it's appropriate, you should show your students! I remember stumbling onto this channel wishing it existed when I was going thru school. I feel like the storytelling and artwork would draw an interest in students.
@@DB-ms2td I don’t think it matters if it’s “appropriate” or not. It’s education, you can’t censor history for modern sensibilities otherwise how are people to know how far we’ve come?
This is where Dragon Ball Z gets it’s Kamehameha from! Toriyama (the author) wanted to include the Japanese word Kame in the title of the move, which means turtle (a reference to the character that develops the move). Toriyama’s wife was aware of some Hawaiian history, and suggested this name. So this whole time, DBZ characters have been shouting the name of a Hawaiian king 👑
I knew absolutely nothing of Hawaii nor have any connection to it, but this narration, music, and artwork literally made me feel like I was there. Most importantly, you have a way capturing the human experience in history that it makes me try to understand more and more. This is absolutely top notch!
Yeah, this presentation inspires me to visit the historical sites if I were to visit the Hawaiian Islands, not just the natural-focused parks or volcanoes. They look to have great names like Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park (had to copy/paste that, haha).
@Ryan Otte unfortunately, settler colonialism and that very specific kind of tourism has decimated the islands, and Kānaka have been begging tourists to stop coming. but that’s why these videos are so amazing, they allow us to immerse ourselves in places we’ll never go :)
I wasn't born in Hawaii, but I was raised there and taught about Hawaiian culture and history from a young age. My Hawaiian teachers always encouraged me to teach others about Hawaii, as on the mainland, the Hawaiian culture and history is very misunderstood. It always makes me happy when I see other people passionate about Hawaii.
@@juwonoh2478 Pretty well done. Definitely showed off aspects of old Hawaiian culture correctly. I really liked how Kamehameha was portrayed here. Doesnt overly glorify him and had shown his brutality and shortcomings really well. He is a very revered figure by natives and locals in Hawaii and sometimes overlook some negative aspects of Kamehameha which I do have trouble ignoring. Of course, it has been a while since I have been taught about Hawaiian history. Actually learned some new stuff here too. I am not sure if it is totally 100% accurate. Very few history videos in general are able to get everything correct anyway. Yet, I will say it is a very good portrayal of the formation of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the reign of Kamehameha.
As a proud Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) I want to thank you for this beautiful depiction of Hawaiian history. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen take the time to talk about Hawaiian history, mahalo nui loa. You have a lifetime subscriber now. Appreciate you.
Oh yeah? Did you even listen to what they did to their women? They weren't allowed to eat with the men and if they were caught eating bananas or any of the good fruit they killed and sacrificed them😊

Sorry, it was not Tahiti nor Kauai nor Marquesas, no more confusion from revisionist historians. Don’t believe me , Buy his book. Also fun Fact Sāmoa has An Island Called Savai’i Sounds Familiar ? Sounds A lot Like Hawai’i. Let’s Talk about the Big Island. Mookini Heiau Is the 1st created Temple Created By Pilikaeae the Ali’i chief of Sāmoa who came from Upolu and near the location is the Birthplace of King Kamehameha The Great. Locates In The North which it’s Called Upolu Point.. which Upolu is an Island In Sāmoa. Therefore King Kamehameha is Sāmoan if his lineage comes from the Ali’i Chief of Sāmoa Pilikaeae accordingly to David Kalakaua the Last King Of Hawai’i.
@@e2dwf976 Truth be told, the Hawaiian and Samoan ancestry lies in Maluku. The Ali'ifuru tribes there are the Melanesian - Malayo Polynesian predate the Polynesians by 20.000 years and invented the outrigger canoe which developed into the Kora Kora (Catamaran) ocean sailer. Our languages are clearly a proto Polynesian branch mixture of the indigenous melanesian and austronesian mix. We have an island which has a capitol called MAKARIKI where since ancient times people gather to celebrate the turn of the year, do you know that name?
What's even scarier is that Hawaiian Chiefs don't let their ʻahuʻula (feather cape) touch the ground, and Kamehameha's cape is long and big enough to put him around 7 feet tall. There are even stories of him flipping the Naha stone, a sheet of lava rock weighing around 2.5 tons. A Chief that flipped the rock over, was said to become conquer of all the islands, basically the same as the sword in the stone. Legend has it that when he was born a "white rainbow" came down from the heavens, most likely Crepuscular rays (What happens when light shines through clouds). Dude was built different.
It's entirely possible he was a huge dude, but he did not flip a 2.5 ton boulder by himself. A rhino couldn't do that, I doubt even an elephant could manage that. If he was around 7ft tall though he would have been a giant compared to those around him considering people were considerably shorter back then.

@@WhatIsSanity also people were not "shorter back then" it's a common misconception" peoples height on average fluctuates, for example people were taller 40 000 years ago on average than they are now, they were taller in middle ages than in 16th century. But it all really depends on a region, diet of people at that time etc. An average height started rising about 300 years ago, but for different regions it may have decrease. Still as a 7ft tall guy he was definitely considered huge
Keopuolani is the highest ranking Hawaiian Monarch in hawaiian history. King Kamehameha had to take off his clothes before he could even look in her direction. thank you history dose, i needed this!
as someone who grew up in hawai’i and is of hawaiian descent, it’s great to see someone taking time to share our history and educate people on what was left out of the history books 🤙🏽
As a native Hawaiian, I'm glad you didn't sugar coat things. Kamehameha was a ruthless killer, a slave driver, but also a prudent king, a senior statesman. He drove the sandalwood to extinction, but also laid foundations for our people to never dissappear. He was a product of his times and surroundings, and the history he made was his calling.
@808souljahxl5 yup! My ohana and royal lineage originally descended from the Kingdom of Maui. We do not care for or support Kamehameha and his actions..
As a maōri from Aotearoa, I find this video awesome and educating. I've learnt more about my Hawaiian whanau and how alike we really are, Kia Ora to all the maoli out there. Shaka
Born and raised in Hawaii and I never learned about the history of Kamehameha in such detail. The things I learned was very sugar coated... this was very eye opening!!
Oh sure same for mainland.......never taught the true history and only lies. DOE makes a mes s anykine everywhere they touch down on. Corrupt they steal cultures starting early on with keiki
Being born and raised in Hawaii most pepole take hawaiiana in school I’m surprised you dident , it goes into way more depth and information on Hawaiian history then what this channel is providing . This channel is missing a lot of important details and mispronouncing a lot of names , but it’s the effort that makes me appreciate him , respect .
Wow I’m deeply moved by the amount of respect and integrity that was given to in the production, and research into telling the story of King Kamehameha! Beautiful artistry, theatrics, soundtrack, narration even the pronunciation WOW I’m so overwhelmed with 🙏🏼 gratitude! Thank you for this amazing work!!! Mahalo Nui Loa, and Aloha to all who see this!
Lol Eden like ? This is ghetto paradise hawaii ain’t as beautiful as much like to think I’ve lived here my whole life and every year you see our islands become more and more destroyed by developers
As a Filipino, seeing the stories and history of my Polynesian cousins being brought to life in these incredible videos is just awesome. Perhaps you can do one about one about another legendary warrior and chief, Lapu Lapu of Mactan, who defeated the forces of Ferdinand Magellan?
@@HistoryDose Is there any place I can find the background music by itself? If not, can it be posted on this channel or a separate one, please? Thanks in advance.
Hell yeah. Filipino warriors and the amazing Filipino people difinitely earned and deserve their space in Pacific Island history. Would love more content on my Pacific Island cousins.
I've lived my whole life in Hawaii but most of the story of Kamehameha I never knew. Those times were even more brutal than I thought they were and more recent than I thought also, very informative, amazing video.
WOW the research done for this is actually impressive. even to a native hawaiian thats studied the history of hawaii all my life. have to sub for this one
Awesome video and great job with the pronunciation! I so appreciate you putting in the effort to share our culture on your platform and was so happy to help :)
As someone born and raised in Hawaii and of Hawaiian decent, this video is amazing. I've yet to see many depictions of my culture in such a clear and vivid display. Beautiful visuals and the directing was spot on. Mahalo for creating this educational experience for all to see. Just amazing 🤙🏼
It's funny how Kamehameha saw that his sandal wood strategy was hurting his people so he did something about it. Imagine if our leaders today did anything like that.
They don't see it as their problem, and if worse comes to worse they'll just go somewhere else. Kamehameha couldn't go somewhere else and knew if his people died in the pursuit of wealth he would die.
Hold on a second. The whole point of logging sandal wood was so that he, and he alone, could profit. If he was a morally just person he would never have forced them to cut sandalwood in the first place. He didn't stop because he's some sort of great guy, he stopped so that he didn't have an angry and starving populace coming for his throat.
they do things like that all the time. Kamehameha was a brutal dictator and engaged in conquest. If he were European or American you would call him an evil imperialist.
Thank you for sharing the history of my home. This is not a tourist escape, this is sacred land with a deep-rooted and vibrant history. You have truly captured that and so much more!
I watch a lot of minidocs on yt and this channel by far has the best production. It is astonishing to see the amount of time invested in the final products and this channel deserves far more subscribers.
As a descendant of Isaac Davis, I have never ever seen any form of image of my ancestor. I wonder how they were able to portray his likeness in this video? Either way, it was so well done; and, as to the pronunciation of the Hawaiian language, it was the best I've heard in a video like this. Excellent job History Dose!
As a half Hawaiian living on the 9th island I always feel like my Hawaiian heritage has been concealed and held back from me. I love channels like these that help me understand my heritage better.
I encourage you to drop blood quantum and embrace all parts of your heritage. Blood quantum has eugenics all through it. Our ancestors fought hard to have us here in the future. And they're so proud of you. You're their legacy
I love this channel. In school my favorite subject was always history. It’s so underrated. These all seem like stuff out of movies but they actually happened. It’s incredible how rich our history is as humans
Kind of! Apparently the creator was looking for a "something-something-HA" sound for an energy attack. His wife jokingly mentioned the name of Hawaii's first king, so he went with it.
I’ve been to the location of the Key Battle Nu’uanu, on Oahu, where Kamehameha’s forces defeated the majority of the Oahu forces on a place now called Pali Lookout, it’s a sheer drop, definitely gives final battle vibes
I had never looked at Hawaiian history, and this is my first look and experience at it. Holy hell I did NOT expect such a paradise of islands have a past written in blood
At the time of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, the forces at Kamehameha’s disposal were estimated to be up to 16000, many of whom were armed with muskets supplied by Western traders. By comparison, the contemporary United States Army was less than 3000 strong.
Today the Polynesian culture use music and dance to tell these stories as Ancient Polynesia was anything but paradise everything was about blood and power hence the warrior culture that carries on today
A 10,000 strong army armed with modern (at that time) weapons including rifles, cannons, and western military advisors. At the same time, the chiefs on the other island he fought in battle to "unite" the Hawaiian islands had none of these things in their possession. So not too surprising that he was able to make them all submit to his rule through the use of force (well it was either that or die, which many of them actually chose to do!).
Hawaiian history is so rich and cool. The story of the Pali or how Valentine's day means something different in Hawaii just hits different after growing up here.
I was born and raised in hawaii and i am hawaiian by blood. My great grand father on my dad's mom's side carried the family name Davis. I am a direct decendent of Issac Davis and I have been moved to tears by this video. It means alot to me that you guys did the homework to really dig for the details. Iv learned alittle big about him from stories from my family but it's amazing to see conformation about his caring nature. It's hard to know the true story but I hear he was a really good guy. Again wonderful video.
@@businessbuilder92 I don't know too much about that stuff but the Micronesian people got a really bad deal twice. They lost their homeland and had to imagrate to hawaii, California and other places and then when they got their they get discriminated against for no wrong doing. I can honestly say that hawaii doesn't have a major issue with racism except when it comes to Micronesians and white people. I don't understand why they get treated so poorly by some of the people in hawaii specifically since we have always been a culturally diverse place and we are usually extremely accepting of all races. Their stereotypes here says their lazy, dirty, stupid, and all the other typical racist names and labes.
This is easily my favorite channel on UA-cam! Your writing and editing is amazing. I was so excited when I saw last night you’d be releasing a new video today. Thank you for your hard work!!
Can you add a member button through youtube? The work you guys do is incredibly captivating. Every video is like timetravelling into the past. Keep up the brilliant work guys!
To me its so wild to have a story in the world about a prophecy and it became true. He was born and given his purpose basically that he would rule the island of hawaii, but instead united all of them. It is honestly an amazing life story and it should be told more often. Especially considering how physically gifted he was from what im reading in the comments. He was definitely born to bring the islands together by force.
Mahalo, History Dose for sharing this story with beautiful art, I’ve only watched 2 of your guys videos and this definitely caught my eye. I have an interest in history and see your guys work is very appealing. Gonna start watching more. Mahalo Again
Quickly becoming one of my favourite channels. Really good video about apart of history that isn't looked at much, well done. And of course the art work is beautiful as always.
youre have become my favourite youtube channel ever, i would adore if you covered a part of danish history. i think the bombing of copenhagen during the napoleonic wars could make for some stunning visuals and a piece of niche napoleonic history, as your channel is so fond of
I grew up on Oahu and have spent many a day hiking and climbing around the site of that battle at the Nu'uanu Pali. It's a breathtaking place. The notches cut into the ridge as cannon emplacements by the defenders are still visible for miles around.
I am a proud Māori from Aotearoa, and I love hearing the stories of our relatives across the other side of the Pacific ocean. We Polynesians are a different breed.
yes, I will be honest, we were. at the same time we were very cunning with the land and social ssytems. there were two seasons, one of war, and one of peace. we still do the season of peace, which includes many cames and cultural practices
You make the best art and best storytelling skills and you are making history of my state not that much people make history of King Kamehameha. Thank you very much history dose
The artist really did go all out for this one! Very breathtaking. Now i want to learn about the history of different specific islands around the world, which there are tons of. A story being about an island seems fully important to learn about, even if its a remote place that didn't affect the world much. Because to an island civilization, their island IS their whole world. So it's like learning about a complete world. My personal favorite island is Christmas Island in Australia.
Being born and raised in Hawaii, you can still definitely feel the Mana. Even though im not Hawaiian by blood, im Hawaiian at Heart. I respect and still am fascinated by the history of my home. Thank you for this
Absolutely..... my Hawaiian ohana.... hanai....east side Kipahulu Kaupo. A blessing for me. I am going back where a huge part of my heart has been for three years🥲🤙🏽🌴
Kānaka have been begging people to stop coming since covid started, that’s why i’m so grateful for people like History Dose for allowing me the chance to immerse myself in a place and a culture that i’ll never experience myself :)
Oh yeah -- am 1/2 Native Hawaiian!! In '61, was accepted to 'The Kamehameha Schools' in the Kalihi Valley of Oahu. Anyway, that is where I put an end to the bullying which had endured for the prior 6 YEARS!!! (was short, fat, asthmatic A-N-D wore very thick-lensed, black frame glasses! 🤓 Plus, changed school EVERY YEAR in that timeframe - rezone, different location for next grade, etc.) So, can identify!!@#$% L-O-V-E my heritage: my PURE-Hawaiian father was born in, wait for it, 1887 - uh huh...🤪! So, after he was fired from a local tour business, he created his own unique/personalized tour business, literally capitalizing on his knowledge of the Hawaiian Islands. And, fortunately, Hawaiian Studies were a very vital/mandatory part of our education - having been established by one of the last royal Hawaiian princess, Bernice Pau'ahi Bishop, who wanted to ensure that the young native population had the same, if not better, opportunity at a First Class education & help prepare for our survival/adaptation/triumph in the modern/western world!! Graduated from that, affectionately called 'Kam", school! Bottom-line >> King Kamehameha was a KICK ASS MOFO, a local made a song to honor/commemorate his victory over the 'rebel' tribal chiefs!!@#$% 😎 These are s-o-m-e of the most memorable words to a powerful verse... "...he fought the native Ali'i & pushed them over the Pali - & said 'Au'we nohoi'e..." V-E-R-Y loosely translated = he fought the rebel tribal chiefs [Ali'i, +/- 200], then pushed them over the Pali [the highest cliff in the area > +/- 2,000 ft. drop]], saying basically - "Shucks, what was in your heads?!?" O-R, in modern slang - "Shit, What the Hell were you thinking?!?" 🥺🥺 After this incident, Kamehameha was able to UNITE ALL the Islands, except Kau'ai, AS ONE!! By victory, becoming "The Conqueror of the Islands" - King Kamehameha!! Thereby creating a new KINGDOM!!!😍 [time to get off my little soapbox] 'nuf said, ALOHA 4 now.....😋🙃😉

He drove the sandalwood to extinction, but also laid foundations for our people to never dissappear. He was a product of his times and surroundings, and the history he made was his calling.
@@808souljahxl5 Nicely said 👏. Truthful and respectful
@808souljahxl5 Do you think he was really 7ft tall?
@808souljahxl5 yup! My ohana and royal lineage originally descended from the Kingdom of Maui. We do not care for or support Kamehameha and his actions..
Damn he should've taken notes from King Tupou the 1st so he can still have his kingdom 🤣😂🤣
@@FonyTerguson713 yes he was prolly 8 feet
As a half Mexican and half Hawaiian person I really loved this history lesson. Mahalo y muchas Gracias
As a maōri from Aotearoa, I find this video awesome and educating. I've learnt more about my Hawaiian whanau and how alike we really are, Kia Ora to all the maoli out there. Shaka
The art, the story telling, the energy. I love this so much. As a native Hawaiian, thank you both.
As a resident of east Maui - I have walked the battlegrounds of the past. Very eerie! This story really put it together. Mahalo!
Born and raised in Hawaii and I never learned about the history of Kamehameha in such detail. The things I learned was very sugar coated... this was very eye opening!!
Oh sure same for mainland.......never taught the true history and only lies. DOE makes a mes s anykine everywhere they touch down on. Corrupt they steal cultures starting early on with keiki
Being born and raised in Hawaii most pepole take hawaiiana in school I’m surprised you dident , it goes into way more depth and information on Hawaiian history then what this channel is providing . This channel is missing a lot of important details and mispronouncing a lot of names , but it’s the effort that makes me appreciate him , respect .
@@ShaneHenriques bra fr went waipahu for school for all my schooling and they only ever talked about hawaiian history in intermediate and high school
The visual and storytelling quality of the content you provide is beyond insane. Sir, your equals are none.
Wow I’m deeply moved by the amount of respect and integrity that was given to in the production, and research into telling the story of King Kamehameha! Beautiful artistry, theatrics, soundtrack, narration even the pronunciation WOW I’m so overwhelmed with 🙏🏼 gratitude! Thank you for this amazing work!!! Mahalo Nui Loa, and Aloha to all who see this!
Thanks so much!
It’s a little poetic that such a beautiful and Eden-like Hawai’i isles has so much warfare and brutal violence going on on them.
Humans just like to fight lol
Granted they are sitting on a very violent volcano so its really fitting
Lol Eden like ? This is ghetto paradise hawaii ain’t as beautiful as much like to think I’ve lived here my whole life and every year you see our islands become more and more destroyed by developers

As a descendant of Native Hawaiians, I gotta say, excellent job with the entire video, especially the art.
As a Filipino, seeing the stories and history of my Polynesian cousins being brought to life in these incredible videos is just awesome. Perhaps you can do one about one about another legendary warrior and chief, Lapu Lapu of Mactan, who defeated the forces of Ferdinand Magellan?
Yes, Joe and I will definitely get to Filipino history sooner or later. We’re both one quarter Filipino from our maternal grandfather
+1 for Filipino history. Great content History Dose! Love all the videos you put out.
@@HistoryDose Hell yeah! 🇵🇭 I’m Filipino and Visayan and I approve this message
@@HistoryDose Is there any place I can find the background music by itself? If not, can it be posted on this channel or a separate one, please? Thanks in advance.
Hell yeah. Filipino warriors and the amazing Filipino people difinitely earned and deserve their space in Pacific Island history. Would love more content on my Pacific Island cousins.
I've lived my whole life in Hawaii but most of the story of Kamehameha I never knew. Those times were even more brutal than I thought they were and more recent than I thought also, very informative, amazing video.
WOW the research done for this is actually impressive. even to a native hawaiian thats studied the history of hawaii all my life. have to sub for this one
and yes if ur wondering thats my actual name lmao
also pronunciation tip: "w"s are pronounced like a "v". ex. hawai'i is "ha-vai-i"
Awesome video and great job with the pronunciation! I so appreciate you putting in the effort to share our culture on your platform and was so happy to help :)
Thanks again Emma for the help with the pronunciations!
As someone born and raised in Hawaii and of Hawaiian decent, this video is amazing. I've yet to see many depictions of my culture in such a clear and vivid display. Beautiful visuals and the directing was spot on. Mahalo for creating this educational experience for all to see. Just amazing 🤙🏼
Are you a $5 Hawaiian?
@@trayquanwilliams9991 $5 hawaiian?
@@trayquanwilliams9991 blacks stealing others cultures and history again, lmao it's embarrassing at this point. Nobody likes you guys
It's funny how Kamehameha saw that his sandal wood strategy was hurting his people so he did something about it. Imagine if our leaders today did anything like that.
They don't see it as their problem, and if worse comes to worse they'll just go somewhere else. Kamehameha couldn't go somewhere else and knew if his people died in the pursuit of wealth he would die.
Hold on a second. The whole point of logging sandal wood was so that he, and he alone, could profit. If he was a morally just person he would never have forced them to cut sandalwood in the first place. He didn't stop because he's some sort of great guy, he stopped so that he didn't have an angry and starving populace coming for his throat.
goku.
But was he man enough to accept responses for the atrocities he did commit?
they do things like that all the time. Kamehameha was a brutal dictator and engaged in conquest. If he were European or American you would call him an evil imperialist.
My dude got that thang hangin 1:07
Thank you for sharing the history of my home. This is not a tourist escape, this is sacred land with a deep-rooted and vibrant history. You have truly captured that and so much more!
Man, there isn't nearly enough Hawaiian history stuff on UA-cam. Thanks!
I watch a lot of minidocs on yt and this channel by far has the best production. It is astonishing to see the amount of time invested in the final products and this channel deserves far more subscribers.
Imagine your whole army not dying in battle, but to a damn VOLCANO.
I bet the hawaiians that faced that thought the gods had turned against them.
There was a battlembetween rome and pontus where a meteorite hit the battlefield so they decided not to fight out of respect for the god who sent it
There are footprints stamped in the lava rocks from the battle in kaʻu dessert. Between Kamehemeha and his cousin keōua.
Makes me think of the "divine hurricane" that destroyed the Huns on their way to invade Japan
@Ray Kailiawa Its in the vid I aint ever make it up, go speak to History Dose instead of me.
As someone who used to live in hawaii it's nice to see someone talking about hawaii'en history
The way you represent indigenous cultures and their religion has been what I've been looking for in a channel. Thank you!

As a descendant of Isaac Davis, I have never ever seen any form of image of my ancestor. I wonder how they were able to portray his likeness in this video? Either way, it was so well done; and, as to the pronunciation of the Hawaiian language, it was the best I've heard in a video like this. Excellent job History Dose!
As a half Hawaiian living on the 9th island I always feel like my Hawaiian heritage has been concealed and held back from me. I love channels like these that help me understand my heritage better.
I encourage you to drop blood quantum and embrace all parts of your heritage. Blood quantum has eugenics all through it. Our ancestors fought hard to have us here in the future. And they're so proud of you. You're their legacy
You live on Nihoa? That’s the 9th island. Last I heard people haven’t lived there for hundreds of years.
I love this channel. In school my favorite subject was always history. It’s so underrated. These all seem like stuff out of movies but they actually happened. It’s incredible how rich our history is as humans
So... Did Dragonball name the move after this guy?
Kind of! Apparently the creator was looking for a "something-something-HA" sound for an energy attack. His wife jokingly mentioned the name of Hawaii's first king, so he went with it.
i had to read it 8 times to see if it was the same
Nah I think they named him after dragonball
@@HistoryDose who's currently commenting? Chris or Joe?
@@SoandSo23 Chris here!
I’ve been to the location of the Key Battle Nu’uanu, on Oahu, where Kamehameha’s forces defeated the majority of the Oahu forces on a place now called Pali Lookout, it’s a sheer drop, definitely gives final battle vibes
Lived in Hawaii for seven years and am happy to see someone has shown some love to King Kamehameha and his exploits. This deserves a movie or series.
The guy was a power-hungry psychopath
A Series is being made not about Kamehameha but similar about another Hawaii Warrior, Jason Momoa is Directing it
@@you12150 And several other females. His eldest son was into a Frenchman.
I had never looked at Hawaiian history, and this is my first look and experience at it. Holy hell I did NOT expect such a paradise of islands have a past written in blood
At the time of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, the forces at Kamehameha’s disposal were estimated to be up to 16000, many of whom were armed with muskets supplied by Western traders. By comparison, the contemporary United States Army was less than 3000 strong.
If you look deep enough you will.fibd that my ancestors come from Samoa.
Yes all pacific islands and Maori have a strong warrior culture and been in much war.
Today the Polynesian culture use music and dance to tell these stories as Ancient Polynesia was anything but paradise everything was about blood and power hence the warrior culture that carries on today
Same here
I’m soooo impressed you were able to pronounce everything really well. Good for you. This makes me miss home so much.
King Kamehameha conquered ALL of Hawaii with only a 10,000 strong army. When his enemies saw his force they proclaimed "IT'S OVER 9,000!!!
Same. The people here are really mature 🥲.
yep finally .
Right😂
@@thatguykundai No we're not. Just keeping a lid on it for the moment😎
A 10,000 strong army armed with modern (at that time) weapons including rifles, cannons, and western military advisors.
At the same time, the chiefs on the other island he fought in battle to "unite" the Hawaiian islands had none of these things in their possession.
So not too surprising that he was able to make them all submit to his rule through the use of force (well it was either that or die, which many of them actually chose to do!).
I can not believe how amazing this channel is, just the artwork alone is amazing and gives us a sense of seeing history before our eyes.
This was VERY well done, as a Kānaka Maoli, I approve. 🤙🏽
I agree Kānaka. 🙏🏽
@Ray Kailiawa Eō**
@@cs6529 That name alone sounds like a mighty Ki energy attack.
Good video, but I wish they would pronounce Hawaiian names and words properly.
As a Kānaka 'O Hawai'i, I thank your approval, Mahalo 🤙
Aloha from Hawaii. Well done! Thank you for the obvious effort put into your amazing video.
As someone who lives on the big island of hawaii I’m thankful people have taken the time to research about the history of Hawai’i
Hawaiian history is so rich and cool. The story of the Pali or how Valentine's day means something different in Hawaii just hits different after growing up here.
Goku's most memorable attack was actually a Hawaiian Warrior King ... you learn something new everyday.
I have now learned that every time Goku fires off that signature shot, he's saying "the lonely one."
When he said, "learn to build wealth by investing in art" I knew this wasn't a video I would want to watch. Thanks for saving me some time
Can’t wait for this one! Amazing artwork as always!
Truly a world class production. You nailed the pronunciation (from someone born and raised in Hawaii).
Great video, but pronunciation is one of the things missed here. I cringed every time I heard him pronounce the names. (Born/raised and Kanaka)
Honestly, this is way better than social studies 7th grade in Hawaii
Need more history from the Pacific Islands!!!!
I was born and raised in hawaii and i am hawaiian by blood. My great grand father on my dad's mom's side carried the family name Davis. I am a direct decendent of Issac Davis and I have been moved to tears by this video. It means alot to me that you guys did the homework to really dig for the details. Iv learned alittle big about him from stories from my family but it's amazing to see conformation about his caring nature. It's hard to know the true story but I hear he was a really good guy. Again wonderful video.
I'm just curious do you have any feelings about stuff like bikini atoll situations
@@businessbuilder92 I don't know too much about that stuff but the Micronesian people got a really bad deal twice. They lost their homeland and had to imagrate to hawaii, California and other places and then when they got their they get discriminated against for no wrong doing. I can honestly say that hawaii doesn't have a major issue with racism except when it comes to Micronesians and white people. I don't understand why they get treated so poorly by some of the people in hawaii specifically since we have always been a culturally diverse place and we are usually extremely accepting of all races. Their stereotypes here says their lazy, dirty, stupid, and all the other typical racist names and labes.
Rip, he lived and died a G. Truly honorable
This is easily my favorite channel on UA-cam! Your writing and editing is amazing. I was so excited when I saw last night you’d be releasing a new video today. Thank you for your hard work!!
Thank you! Lot of hard work went into this one for sure!
Can you add a member button through youtube? The work you guys do is incredibly captivating. Every video is like timetravelling into the past. Keep up the brilliant work guys!
BY FAR, my favorite channel on youtube. So immersive and informative!!!
This is a great history channel!! Love the artwork too!!
indeed!! surprisingly accurate too!!! which is a good thing
To me its so wild to have a story in the world about a prophecy and it became true. He was born and given his purpose basically that he would rule the island of hawaii, but instead united all of them. It is honestly an amazing life story and it should be told more often. Especially considering how physically gifted he was from what im reading in the comments. He was definitely born to bring the islands together by force.
Mahalo, History Dose for sharing this story with beautiful art, I’ve only watched 2 of your guys videos and this definitely caught my eye. I have an interest in history and see your guys work is very appealing. Gonna start watching more. Mahalo Again
Wow this was made extremely well and accurately. Mahalo nui loa for the time and resources you have put into our history.
Story telling, history, atmosphere, awesome visuals and music combined perfectly
As a native Hawaiian, I love this video! And the pronunciations are great.
The art is MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
Thank you! Check out the "How the Art is Made for History Dose" video to see the process.

Quickly becoming one of my favourite channels. Really good video about apart of history that isn't looked at much, well done.
And of course the art work is beautiful as always.
youre have become my favourite youtube channel ever, i would adore if you covered a part of danish history. i think the bombing of copenhagen during the napoleonic wars could make for some stunning visuals and a piece of niche napoleonic history, as your channel is so fond of
Thank you!! We’ve got some Danish/Norwegian history up next!
Bro this deserves 10 million views. The whole video is beautiful art and story telling like no other channel I've ever seen.
I grew up on Oahu and have spent many a day hiking and climbing around the site of that battle at the Nu'uanu Pali. It's a breathtaking place. The notches cut into the ridge as cannon emplacements by the defenders are still visible for miles around.
I am a proud Māori from Aotearoa, and I love hearing the stories of our relatives across the other side of the Pacific ocean. We Polynesians are a different breed.
This video was a masterpiece and will be looking forward to all of your new uploads from now on
I am stunned by the art. Its thoughtful depictions are both haunting and majestic.
I'll just be here... waiting.
As a Jamaican I love to learn Hawaiians culture cuz I used to live in Hawaii with my sister she was on base
Their last queen and king was is black queen
I was told that the Hawaiians were gruesome, but damn now I got a picture of what it looked like.
yes, I will be honest, we were. at the same time we were very cunning with the land and social ssytems. there were two seasons, one of war, and one of peace. we still do the season of peace, which includes many cames and cultural practices
I yeah...reason why these islans weren't united for so long and it was violent
The good ol days many now yearn for. 🫠
You make the best art and best storytelling skills and you are making history of my state not that much people make history of King Kamehameha. Thank you very much history dose
Well Done Uso!!!! Much Love from Utulei to Makaha, all the way to Washington State!!!!🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸
Finally Oceanic history 🦈
The artist really did go all out for this one! Very breathtaking.
Now i want to learn about the history of different specific islands around the world, which there are tons of. A story being about an island seems fully important to learn about, even if its a remote place that didn't affect the world much. Because to an island civilization, their island IS their whole world. So it's like learning about a complete world.
My personal favorite island is Christmas Island in Australia.
Being born and raised in Hawaii, you can still definitely feel the Mana. Even though im not Hawaiian by blood, im Hawaiian at Heart. I respect and still am fascinated by the history of my home. Thank you for this
Absolutely..... my Hawaiian ohana.... hanai....east side Kipahulu Kaupo. A blessing for me. I am going back where a huge part of my heart has been for three years🥲🤙🏽🌴
We were absolutely spoiled with stunning visuals in this video- makes me want to visit Hawaii.
Kānaka have been begging people to stop coming since covid started, that’s why i’m so grateful for people like History Dose for allowing me the chance to immerse myself in a place and a culture that i’ll never experience myself :)
please do not. tourism is killing the islands and the people here. mahalo
Stay home plz
They're still living in fear of covid? Kamehameha would be disappointed
This would make a good movie or series.
Amazing art to tell the story!! Excellent work.
Finally, someone has done this. He is a childhood role model of mine. His legacy led to me being able to stand up to some school bullies.
Oh yeah -- am 1/2 Native Hawaiian!! In '61, was accepted to 'The Kamehameha Schools' in the Kalihi Valley of Oahu.
Anyway, that is where I put an end to the bullying which had endured for the prior 6 YEARS!!! (was short, fat, asthmatic A-N-D wore very thick-lensed, black frame glasses! 🤓 Plus, changed school EVERY YEAR in that timeframe - rezone, different location for next grade, etc.) So, can identify!!@#$%
L-O-V-E my heritage: my PURE-Hawaiian father was born in, wait for it, 1887 - uh huh...🤪! So, after he was fired from a local tour business, he created his own unique/personalized tour business, literally capitalizing on his knowledge of the Hawaiian Islands.
And, fortunately, Hawaiian Studies were a very vital/mandatory part of our education - having been established by one of the last royal Hawaiian princess, Bernice Pau'ahi Bishop, who wanted to ensure that the young native population had the same, if not better, opportunity at a First Class education & help prepare for our survival/adaptation/triumph in the modern/western world!! Graduated from that, affectionately called 'Kam", school!
Bottom-line >> King Kamehameha was a KICK ASS MOFO, a local made a song to honor/commemorate his victory over the 'rebel' tribal chiefs!!@#$% 😎 These are s-o-m-e of the most memorable words to a powerful verse...
"...he fought the native Ali'i & pushed them over the Pali - & said 'Au'we nohoi'e..."
V-E-R-Y loosely translated = he fought the rebel tribal chiefs [Ali'i, +/- 200], then pushed them over the Pali [the highest cliff in the area > +/- 2,000 ft. drop]], saying basically - "Shucks, what was in your heads?!?"
O-R, in modern slang - "Shit, What the Hell were you thinking?!?" 🥺🥺
After this incident, Kamehameha was able to UNITE ALL the Islands, except Kau'ai, AS ONE!!
By victory, becoming "The Conqueror of the Islands" - King Kamehameha!!
Thereby creating a new KINGDOM!!!😍
[time to get off my little soapbox] 'nuf said, ALOHA 4 now.....😋🙃😉
The art that accompanies these stories is incredible. It really brings the story to life.
Wow, I’m sad that we don’t learn more about Hawaii in school, this was an epic story! Amazing job as always.
