Hulihe'e Palace​ is located in historic Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i, on Ali‘i Drive.

Once a
summer vacation home for Hawaiian royalty, today Hulihe‘e Palace is a museum
showcasing Victorian artifacts from the era of King Kalākaua and Queen Kapi‘olani. It
was built by John Adams Kiʻiapalaoku Kuakini.
The information I’ve learned in class connects to the history of the location in
many ways. The people who inhabited the palace were members of the monarchy. It was
considered a “summer home” where they could escape their troubles for a time. It was
also used as a “governor's mansion” and was remodeled using materials and
decorations from all over the world.
It directly related to the Hawaiian Renaissance movement in that the movement
inspired the preservation of the palace. Many times there were people who wanted to tear
it down, only to be met by persistent protesters.
 Mokuaikaua Church, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, is the oldest Christian
church in the Hawaiian Islands. The congregation dates to 1820 and the building was
completed in 1837. The congregation was first founded in 1820 by Asa and Lucy Goodale
Thurston.
This relates to the information we’ve learned in class in the fact that the actions of
those who lived in that time period led to it’s construction. The missionaries were given
permission to teach Christianity by King Kamehameha II, and the Queen Regent
Kaʻahumanu. The teaching of Christianity led to many terrible things in the islands
among which being the punishment of those to continued to embrace Hawaiian beliefs
and culture.
Despite people regaining Hawaiian pride during the Hawaiian Renaissance, many
Hawaiians are christian. Some continue to believe in the Hawaiian gods and goddesses
while also possessing christian beliefs.
