Lord of the Haao Rain

By: Jenkins, Irving

Lord of the Haao Rain answers the hundred-year old mystery of who was interred in a tomb with fabulous Hawaiian ethnographic riches discovered in 1905 called Forbes Cave. This treasure, mistakenly sealed back in the cave in 2000, was removed in 2006 and secured in restricted museum storage where more than a decade later it remains awaiting resolution.Part One is the story of "Lord of the Haao Rain", the revered 18th century Hawaii Island Keawe dynasty ruling chief, Keouakuahuula, who repeatedly fought and consistently defeated the invading armies of his rebel cousin Kamehameha until Kamehameha assassinated him.Part Two identifies Forbes Cave as the 1789 tomb of Keouakuahuula, last ruling chief of the primary descendant line of the century-old Keawe dynasty. The treasures interred with him are identified here as his personal royal regalia and ceremonial articles for temple rites associated with this sacred ruling chief who was also last senior Keawe dynasty high-priest of the ancient Hawaii Island Lono order.
