Kaua‘i was the first landfall of Captain James Cook. While neither he nor later explorers made their way to Hā‘ena, Kaua‘i nonetheless received some important early visitors.

Missionaries

Missionaries
A complete listing of all claims filed by people residing in Hā‘ena. Includes names of applicants, land commission award (LCAW) numbers, names of ‘ili, and whether or not the claims were awarded.

Kuleana Lands

Mahele ("Colony")
The Mahele was a division of lands from traditional tenure to private propoerty. The results of this legislation are presented here. Abner Pākī retained control of most of the ahupua‘a, while many commoners applied for kuleana lands. Information on these awards are presented here.

Aftermath

Aftermath of the Mahele
As the relationship between people and the land settled into place in the aftermath of the Mahele, a new and unusual socio-geographic order arose in Hā‘ena that would last well into the twentieth century.
