It noted that he was age 60 and was born at Keauhou, in the Kona district. That he was connected early in life with Chief Kuakini (Gov. Adams). He didn't learn to speak English, due to his advanced age. About 16 or 17 years before, he had planted cotton and and had woven cloth, under the direction of Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Ogden, for his own suit.) David Malo 1793-1853 from- (2) Three Early Christian Leaders of Hawaii, 1946 by Oscar E. Maurer, D.D. This is about a) Bartimea Lalana Puaaiki, b) David Malo, and 3) James Hunnewell Kekela. David Malo, Hawaiian Preacher of Social Righteousness. 1793 born at Keauhou, North Kona, HI to Aoao and Heone. His father had been soldier in the army of Kamehemeha I and attached to the king's retinue. David was in close association Kamehameha's favorite chief Auwai who was versed in Hawaiian traditions and customs. Early in life he was taken into the family of Chief Kuakini, Governor Adams, borther of Queen Kaahumanu. m1. on Hawaii to A'alaiona, a widow of chiefish blood, who died without children. 1823 moved to Lahaina where he met Rev.

Malo wrote a threnody in his grief and veneration for her. It was translated by C.J. Lyons. Late 1830's he grew cotton, had a spinning wheel and loom and made his own cloth. He also crew sugar and had a primitive sugar mill and mage excellent molasses. Malo wrote a biography of Kamehameha I but it disappeared, possibly for reasons of state. He rewrote "The History of Hawaii", "Ka Mo'oolelo Hawaii" which he and other pupils at Lahainaluna had done. Later expanding it into "Hawaiian Antiquities". Later translated into English by Dr. N. B. Emerson. 1838 Malo wrote in Hawaiian "Some Instructions About the Great Things in the Word of God". 2000 copies. Republished in 1861 and 1865. 1839, 1842 Malo was influentioal in drawing up the first constitutions. 1842 Preface to the Constitution states that several of the laws were written by Malo. 1841 he was appointed General School Agent for Maui after the adoption of a law providing public schools. He was also made the Superintendant in charge of all other agents. Became the Minister of Education after the establishment of the constitution government. 1842 he was a member of the executive committee of the Temperance Society of Lahaina, of which Kamehameha III, was the honorary president. 1843 Malo was Sheldon Dibble's chief collaborator in "The History of the Sandwich Islands" 1844 Dr. D. Baldwin reported to the Sandwich Islands Mission that he Malo was probably the most efficient school superintendant in all the islands. He was a true patriot and stood up for what he thought was right. He opposed the oppresiveness of some chiefs. He warned against the corrupting influence of foreigners and depending too much on their selfish counsel. He didn't include the missionionaries in his warnings. He had some of his land confiscated with out notice or opportunity to appeal due to his outspokeness. 1844 Malo is licensed to preach by the Hawaiian Association of American Mininsters 1846 He served in the House of Representatives 1848 The Great Mehele divided the kings land between the king and the chiefs.

He is buried at Pa'upau'u, Mt. Ball, above Lahaina. "Many of his predictions which seemed pessimistic at the time they were made, have come true. But his efforts for righteousness and justice have borne fruit and will continue to do so, for that kind of seed does not die." David Malo 1793-1853 from- (3) Hawaiian Kingdom, 3 volumes, by Ralph S.

Closely associated with them were the priets. Below the chiefs were the mass of the people, collectively called the makaainana, those who lived on the island. David Malo describes the relationship between the common people and the chiefs: "The condition of the common people was that of subjection to the chiefs, compelled to do their heavy tasks, burdened and oppressed, some even to death. The life of the people was one of patient endurance, of yielding to the chiefs to purchase their favor. . . . It was from the common people, however, that the chiefs received their food and their apparel for men and women, also their houses and many other things. When the chiefs went forth to war some of the commoners also went out to fight on the same side with them. . . . It was the makaainanas also who did all the work on the land; yet all they produced from the soil belonged to the chiefs; and the power to expel a man from the land and rob him of his possessions lay with the chief.(10)" . . . "This lessened the danger of rebebellion." Note 10. Malo, op. cit., 87-88. It may be noted, however, that the people were not serfs and were not bound to the soil, but could and sometimes did transfer from the service of one chief to that of another. Chapter III: Kamehameha and the Founding of the Kingdom p.52* ".... The usual procedure was for the king to select and retain such lands as he desired for his own use and enjoyment and to divide the rest among his great chiefs, who would then hold it by a kind of revocable feudal tenure. The chiefs followed a similiar course with the lands assigned to them; and thus the scale descended from the king to the great chiefs, from great chiefs to lesser ones, and finally reached the lowest rank, the tenant-commoners who cultivated the soil. David Malo, in his account of the old Hawaiian civil polity, makes the following statement: "The largest districts were not generally assigned to the highest chiefs."(70)" Note 70. Malo, Hawaiian Antiquities, 257. Chapter VIII: The Early Years of the Reign of Kamehameha III: Regency of Kaahumanu p.126 Three laws were enacted in 1827 against murder, theft, and adultery. "This was the beginning of formal legislation by the Hawaiian chiefs. The contemparary chroniclers considered it a matter of great significance that they had made a start in this important business. The chiefs met again in June, 1828, but we have no record of what was accomplished. It was intimated that Kaahumanu had difficulty in bringing the other chiefs to task, and one report says they referred the business to David Malo who declined to take upon himself the responsibility.(32) Note 32. Chamberlain Journal, June 5, 1828. Chapter X: The Birth of Constitutional Government p.153 "The repeated buffetings by the foreign officers and ships of war, to which the king and chiefs were subjected ...." ".... In the same month in which Peirce wrote the words quoted above, David Malo expressed, in a letter to Kinau, some thoughts which recent happenings had awakened in his mind: "I have been thinking that you ought to hold frequent meetings with all the chiefs . . . to seek for that which will be of the greatest benefit to this country; you must not think that this is anything like olden times, that you are the only chiefs and can leave things as they are. . . . This is the reason. If a big wave comes in, large fishes will come from the dark Ocean which you never saw before, and when they see the small fishes they will eat them up; such also is the case with large animals, they will prey on the smaller ones. The ships of the white man have come, and smart people have arrived from the great countries which you have never seen before, they know our people are few in number and living in a small country; they will eat us up, such has always been the case with large countries, the small ones have been gobbled up. . . . God has made known to us through the mouths of the men of the man-of-war things that will lead us to prepare ourselves . . . Therefore get your servant ready who will help you when you need him."(2) Note 2. D. Malo to Kaahumanu II (Kinau) and Mataio (Kekuanaoa), Aug. 18, 1837, AH, F.O. & Ex. p.157 "But the minds of the king and chiefs had been prepared for further change by various influences which may be mentioned briefly. First in importance, perhaps, was the general enlightenment resulting from the teaching of the missionaries and from the contact with foreigners. Especially important was the education of young Hawaiians, both chiefs and commoners, at Lahainaluna and elsewhere, such men as Daniel Ii, John Ii, Timothy Haalilio, David Malo, Boaz Mahune, and others. These young men became companions and advisers to the king and the older chiefs. Malo has been already several times mentioned. ..." This was in context of leading up to a Constitutional Government in 1840. Chapter XV: The Land Revolution p.259 ".... As early as January, 1845, Commissioner Brown reported hearing of dissatisfaction amoung the native population on account of so many offices being filled by naturalized foreigners.(131) In April a petition was gotten up by the people of Lahaina and this was followed by others during the summer.(132) In the early part of June, Dr. Dwight Baldwin wrote from Lahaina to Richards: "But what strange doings have you had at Oahu? Something seems to have stirred the natives to the bottom. Perhaps in consequence of what natives said who came up from Oahu, (I think that must have been the moving cause) there has been a meeting here & is to be another today to draw up a petition to the National Council. I know not what was done at the meeting -- nor what is to be done today -- but I am told the object is to bring about "no haole rulers." The natives requested me to appoint the meeting -- but I excused myself, saying it was a political meeting, very proper for them to engage in -- but our work was more exclusively with the Gospel."(133) The petitioners prayed the king to dismiss all the naturalized foreigners whom he had appointed to be officers of the kingdon. "We wish your chiefs to hold offices under you, as did their fathers under Kamehameha I your father." If it be necessary to have the aid of foreigners, let them be employed as advisers, without being naturalized, and then dismissed when the need is past. "We do not wish that foreigners be allowed to take the oath of allegiance and become Hawaiians." "... if this kingdom is to be ours, what is the good of filling the land with foreigners?... What will be the end of these numerous cases of the oath of allegiance being taken by foreigners? This, in our opinion; to give up this kingdom to them, and to give it up quickly, too." "We do not wish you to sell another piece of land in your kingdom to foreigners." "Foreigners come here with their property in dollars; they are prepared to buy the land; but we have no property, a people unprepared are we; the native man is palsied like a man long ailing in his back. we have lived under the rulers, expecting to do according to their wish, and not after our own notions; and for this cause we are not ready to be set adrift to strive with the foreigners... If a good thing, let the coming of foreigners into this country be delayed for ten more years perhaps, and let there be given to us lands with the understanding that they are to be cultivated and have cattle raised upon them, and so perhaps we shall lose our present palsy, and it will be good perhaps to encourage foreigners to enter the country." A movement like this could not be ignored. The king took notice of it by appointing three commissioners to visit Lahaina, which seemed to be the center of the agitation, to find out what influences were back of it. The government believed that disaffected foreigners had incited the natives to draw up the petitions, but the investigation failed to disclose any such foreign influence, if there had been any.(134) It was ascertained that David Malo had been active in promoting the movement, and he was persuaded to take a different attitude.(135) p.290* ".... The petitions of 1845 indicate that there must have been a considerable number of the common people who thought it would be a good plan to try the haole's way of managing these matters. In a letter written in the summer of 1846, David Malo said: "I believe it best that at this time, the people should own lands as they do in foreign lands; they [the people in foreign lands] work all the harder knowing they own the land, and very likely it is the reason why they love their country; and why they do not go to other places and perhaps that is the reason why they are great farmers." (84)" Note 84. Malo to Richards, June 2, 1846, AH, P.O. & Ex. p.292* "... Richard Armstrong, who had become minister of public instruction in 1848 after the death of Richards, wrote to his brother-in-law: "The government has lately granted fee simple titles to all the natives ...."(92) Note 92. Armstrong to Chapman, Jan. 15 1850, Armstrong Letters. "David Malo, in conversation with Rev. J. S. Green, declared that the "Resolutions of the Privy council relating to the Kuleana ainas had afforded him much satisfaction, ... and inspired him with hope of seeing better days."(93)" Note 93. Polynesian, May 11, 1850. p.335-367 Chapter XVII: Religious and Educational Development (1840-1854) p.339 "About 1841 the mission began the practice of licensing natives to preach, placing upon them the care of small congregations, but keeping each of them more or less under the supervision of one of the missionaries. The earliest to be so licensed was Puaaiki ("Blind Bartimeus"), who preached to a congregation at Honuaula, Maui.(15)" "Note 15. Missionary Hearld, official organ of the ABCFM published in Boston, XXXVIII (1842), 473; XL (1844), 145-147; H. Bingham, Bartimeus of the Sandwich Islands (New York, no date)." "The second was David Malo, who was licensed in 1843.(16)" "Note 16. MH, XL (1844), 9; XLI (1845), 312; Minutes of General Meeting, 1844, p.27. The evidence seems to indicate that Malo was licensed in 1844 by one of the missionaries on Maui and that he received a more formal license in 1844 by action of the Hawaiian Associantion, and ecclesiastical organization of all the missionaries." "Up to the middle of 1848 nine natives had been regularly licensed to preach.(17) But it was not until 1849 that a native Hawaiian was formally ordained to the ministry and installed as pastor of an independent church. James Kekela was so ordained on December 21, 1849, becoming the pastor of a small church at Kahuku, Oahu.(18) During the next year two others were ordained: Samuel Kauwealoha, installed as pastor at Kaanapali, Maui; and Stephen Waimalu, installed as pastor at Waianae, Oahu.(19) In September, 1852, David Malo was ordained and installed as pastor of the church at Keokea, Maui.(20)" "Note 20. Minutes of General Meeting, 1853, p.11; Polynesian, Sept. 18, 1852." Sub section: Government Common Schools, 1840-1846 p.347/8 In 1840 "a law was enacted providing for a national system of common schools to be supported by the government." ... It "required that a school should be maintained in every community where there were fifteen or more children of suitable age ...." ... "No one could be a teacher unless he had received a certificate from the teachers of the Lahainalunu high school or from the general school agent ...." "The law provided that there should be appointed annually by the legislature one "general school agent" (kahukula)(39) for each of the five principal islands, and that there should be similarly appointed one superintendent (luna) of the whole. The duties of the general school agents were to superintend, manage, and provide for the teachers, to encourage them and their pupils, to grant certificates to teachers, to be the judges of the school law, and to report to the superintendent their various acts and the results of their observations. It was the duty of the superintendent to report to the legislature at its annual meeting.(40)" p.348 "On May 11, 1841, the legislature appointed the general school agent for the ensuing year, as follows: for Oahu, John Ii; for Kauai, Papohaku; for Molokai, Kanakaokai; for Maui, David Malo; for Hawaii, Kanakaahuahu. It was also voted that David Malo should be in charge of all the general school agents; Malo therefore became the first superintendent of schools of the Hawaiian kingdon and continued to serve in that capacity at least until the middle of 1845.(41) An "Additional School Law" enacted in 1842, provided that there should be two general school agents on the island of Hawaii, and fixed the salaries of all the general school agents; those on Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai were to receive $35 a year, the one on Oahu was to receive $30, and the one on Molokai, $25. (42)" "Note 41. Journal of the Legislature, May 11, 1841, May 12, 1842, April 26, 1843, May 26. July 10,11,1845. See also my note on David Malo in 40 HHS Report, 35-36 and my article on Malo in Hawaii Educational Review XXI, 79-80 (Nov. 1932). In the English version of the Journal of the Legislature the general school agents are called "School Inspectors."" p.349 "The law of May 21, 1841, put the Catholics and Protestants on substantially the same footing so far as the schools were concerned. .... ... The general school agents were all Protestants, and the head of the system, David Malo, was zealous in opposing the spread of Catholicism. The Protestant missionary at Hana, Maui, wrote in November 1842: "There are several intelligent native Christians who do much to keep Romanism in check ... None perhaps is more active in the respect than David Malo.... He is general agent for all the schools of this island; and the duties of his office render it necessary for him to travel considerably from place to place.... His influence is very manifest in preventing the children and youth from going over to popery, and in keeping them in their respective schools.... The priests find in him a powerful enemy, and are therefore very bitter in their complaints against him.(46)" "Note 46. Yzendoorn, op.cit., 165." "Note 25. Fr. Reginald Yzendoorn, History of the Catholic Mission in the Hawaiian Islands, 147, 152." p.351 "On its face, the school law placed the responsibility for the establishment and amangement of the schools upon the general school agents appointed by the legislature and the local school committees elected by the parents. Now for the first time the people as a whole were required to send their children to school and to bear the cost of their education. In its terms, the law was mandatory, but like other laws it could not be fully enforced against an unwilling or indifferent populace. It was part of the work of the general school agents to convince the people of the justice and desireability of carrying on the schools in this way. Malo and his associates worked faithfully, but the most effective influence in keeping up the school system was the interest manifested by the missionaries, both Protestant and Catholic. With their aid and encouragement, the schools were revivied and for a few years went along rather prosperously. Then they began to droop again; it became clear that Malo, intelligent and active as he was, lacked some of the important qualifications and in particular the training and experience which were indispensible for the successful administration of a national school system. One of the missionaries, writing from Lahaina in May, 1845, remarked, "I must again express my conviction, that no Hawaiian is yet competent to superintend a system of education."(52)" .... "By 1845 the inadequacy of the system was clearly apparent." "Note 52. D. Baldwin to Richards, May 26, 1845, original in HMCS Library." "... organic acts adopted in 1845 and 1846 provided a new set-up for the school system." p.353 "William Richards was appointed mininster of public instruction. His commission was dated April 13, 1846...." p.354 "Richards ... death on November 7, 1847." "... Rev. Richard Armstrong ... pastor of Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu ... agreed to assist the work ... December 6, 1847 , until June 7, 1848, when he finally accepted the appointment as mininster of public instruction." In Vol. II 1854-1874, publ.1966, nothing listed in the index.

(4) David Malo 1793-1853 - Fourth Ordained Native Hawaiian Minister David Malo has a place in the earliest ordained native Christian ministers in Hawaii. In Na Kukui Pio 'Ole, The Inextinguishable Torches:, biographies of Three Early Native Hawaiian Scholars, Davida Malo, S.N. Hale'ole and S.M. Kamakau, by Malcolm Naca Chun it says that he was licensed to preach in 1844 and ordained and installed in Keokea in 1852. That he was the third Hawaiian ordained, after James Kekela and Pua'aiki. Then see Three Early Christian Leaders of Hawaii, 1946 by Oscar E. Maurer, D.D. This is about a) Bartimea Lalana Puaaiki, b) David Malo, and 3) James Hunnewell Kekela. In the article on James Kakela it says that he was ordained and installed as pastor of the Kahuku church on Oahu on 21 Dec 1849. He was the first Hawaiian to be ordained. In the article on blind Bartimaeus it said that he joined 10 July 1825, 1839 ordained as deacon or elder in Wailuku, 1842 licensed to preach after many years of preaching, 1843 commissioned as evangelist in the Honuaula district, and died in 1843. In the article on Malo in 1828 he joined the church in Lahaina, 1844 he was licensed to preach and on 2 Sep 1852 he was ordained and installed at Keokea, Kula. In the Hawaiian Kingdom, Vol.I, 1778-1854, 1957 by Ralph S. Kuykendall on page 339 he says that in 1841 the mission began to license natives to preach at a small congregation and keeping them under the care of a missionary. The earliest was Puaakiki ("Blind Bartimeus") who preched at Honuaula, Maui. The second was David Malo in 1843 by the local missionary and by the Hawaiian Association in 1844. Up to 1948 nine had been licensed. In 1849 James Kekela was ordained at Kahuku, Oahu. In the next two years there was Samuel Kauwealoha ordained at Kaanapali, Maui and Stephen Waimalu at Waianae, Oahu. In 1852 David Malu at Keokea, Maui. In 1854 A. Kaukau to succeed Kauwealoha at Kaanapali and Moses Kuaea in Hauula, Oahu. Three of these, Kekela, Kauwealoha, and Kaukau later went at missionaries to the Marquesas Islands. From the minutes of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions I found: James Kakela ord.12/21/49 Kahuku, Oahu, 1853 to Fatuhiwa, Marquesas I. Samuel Kauweloha ord. 1851 Kaanapali, 1853 to Fatuhiwa, Marquesas I. Stephen Waimalu ord. 9/25/1851 Waianae, Oahu David Malo ord. 9/2/1852 Keokea, Maui J. Kaukau ord. 4/1854 Kaanapali, Maui In 1846 the minutes start to mention 1 Native Preacher, in 1847 1 Native Preacher, 4 licensed. In 1848 terminology changed from Native Preacher to Native Pastor. 1849 back to using Native Preacher. 1850 we start to see Hawaiian pastor's names and ordination years and dates sometimes and other indications still of Native Preachers. 1851 we see added the term Native Helper. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association minutes started about 1851 and the first minister's names I saw were in 1858. So Malo was the fourth ordained native pastor, not counting Puaaiki. Many Hawaiians were motivated to share what they knew about Christ, but they hadn't passed the standards that the missionaries wanted to call them licensed preachers or ordained pastors. So they just went out and preached on their own. I think that is what the Native Preacher/Pastor terminology meant. Puaaiki is buried in the cemetery near the corner of Main and High on the property of Kaahumanu Church in Wailuku. David Malo 1793-1853 from- (5) Hawaiian State Archives from ALLEN.W.HOOF @ HAWAII.GOV on 7/28/03. We found, that Malo's daughter from her obituary in the Hawaiian Gazette, that she was born in 1846 and died on Oahu in 1886. Her husband was Hon. John M.Kapena, 1843-1887. He was prominent in government. He was a member of the Privy Council, 1863-1874; a circuit court judge 1873-1874; Governor of Maui, 1874-1876; a member of the House of Nobles, 1876-1886; Minister of Foreign Affairs, 1878-1880; and Special Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary to Japan, 1882. He married Emma in 1863 and they had one daughter, Leihulu, in 1868. This information is from his obituary in the Pacific Commercial (now Honolulu) Advertiser. Our index searches failed to find any reference to a marriage record for him, or his daughter, or David or Rebecca Malo. The obituary for John M. Kapena was on page 2, column 4 of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser of October 24, 1887. Emma's Obituary appeared in the April 20, 1886 issue of the Hawaiian Gazette. Our index does not cite a page or column. There was also an obituary in the May, 1886 number of the Friend, page 12, column 3.

Mookini Topgallant Publishing Company, Ltd. Honolulu 1974 In 1865 appeared Ke Au Okoa , which lasted eight years and then merged with Ka Nupepa Kuokoa . This newspaper was much like Ka Hoku o ka Pakipika in content and general presentation. They both carried Foreign and local news, translated stories, meles, and letters to the editor. Ke Au Okoa was sponsored by the government and in 1867 objected to annexation saying: "suspicions have entered our minds that the benefits would not be for the mass of the people but for a few" (Kuykendall 2:213, 226). In its last three years Ke Au Okoa was edited by John Makini Kapena, 1843-1887, the only son of Makini and Naawa, high chiefess related to King Kalakaua and adopted by his uncle, the Hon. Iona Kapena. He attended the Royal School and Oahu College. In 1863 he married Emma Malo, the only child of David Malo. He worked on a rice plantation, then from 1870 to 1873 was the editor of Ke Au Okoa (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, October 24, 1887:2). From 1873 until his death in 1887 he held high government positions: member of the Privy Council and the House of Nobles, Governor of Maui, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Special Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary to Japan. He was considered a Hawaiian scholar of marked ability and a diligent student of Hawaiian literature (Pacific Commercial Advertiser , October 24, 1887:2).
