Queen Elizabeth Kaahumanu of course Kaahumanu was one of the close to famous residents of all Manoa. She was famous because she made a big meeting on Manoa She was also the wife of Kamehameha in fact, she was one of Kamehamehas favorite (out of twenty-one ). In this article, I will tell you all round Queen Elizabeth Kaahumanu and her impact on the Manoa Community. In upper Manoa, she had a summerhouse. Its raise was Ka pukaomaomao, meaning the light-green gate. This makes sense because her house had a green gate and green shutters. The house had a blend of Polynesian and western styles. In the book Manoa the story of a valley, it says that the roof was probably thatched or peaked. (They dont know but they are pretty indisputable it was. ) Kaahumanu had numerous friends and invited them to her summerhouse. Her house became a popular pla ce to visit. The house is non there today, but the land that it was on is still there with zip fastener on it. If you go to Manoa Road and Oahu Avenue, there is a green surpass path that leads to a tiny clearing covered with old hau trees.Keep going on the path and you will find the land that Kaahumanus house, Ka Pukaomaomao, was on. Kaahumanu was also known for a fresh water rise. Her well was fixed close to her home. It was on Huelani Drive. The name of Kaahumanus fresh water well was Kawaihuelani, meaning The waters of Huelani. People believe that moowahine, meaning, Part-lizard, part-woman being is the shielder of the well. Kaahumanu also made a difference to one school in particular, Punahou School. Kaahumanu ordered/suggested Boki (Oahus governor) and his wife, Kuini Liliha, to give the land of Kapunahou to Reverend and Mrs.Hiram Bingham. From there, they built a school, which became Punahou School. That is how Punahou came to be. After catching an illness coming back from a trip, Kaahumanu asked to be taken to her home in the mountains. She died in her home in Manoa. Manoa was a place she loved so thats why she came back to visit one last time before her death. I hope you learned a lot about Kaahumanu and her impact on Manoa.
