According to Gavan Daws these were seiminal events in Hawaii's history. One of the main reasons why we and Gavan worked so hard to get this story published, was that we believed that history would indeed repeat itself, if the story was left untold. Further we hope this story will inspire and challenge people to stand up for what they believe is right and not look the other way when they see things going wrong. Ultimately this is the story of people who had the courage to stand up to protect the precious legacy of Pauahi.

It was common knowledge that Waihee was "stacking the deck" to be a trustee. How can we prevent future "situations" from escalating to this level again?
