Summary
[edit]DescriptionPortrait of Kaneena, a chief of the Sandwich Islands in the North Pacific.jpg |
English: "Portrait of Kaneena, a chief of the Sandwich Islands in the North Pacific" by John Webber. The accurate orthography is Kanaʻina. He was one of the two chiefs along with Palea (Pareea) who were the first to greet Captain Cook at Kealakekua Bay. "..we were obliged to have recourse to the assistance of Kaneena, another of their chiefs, who had likewise attached himself to Captain Cook."[1] Described as; as fine "a figure as can be seen. He was about six feet high, had regular and expressive features, with lively dark eyes; his deportment was easy, firm, and graceful." According to David Samwell, ship's surgeon of H.M.S. Discovery, Kanaʻina struck the first blow to James Cook's before he was stabbed to death.[2] Dibble identifies him in 1839 as Kalaimanokahoowaha.[3] According to another source he may have died in the fighting. |
