On January 18, there were people on big boats that were coming to our island. I over heard the man say his name was Captain James Cook.
While Caption Cook was here he gave us iron nails.Then one day he left but the next day he came back .
When he came back Kealakekua Bay was considered the sacred harbor of Lono, the fertility god of the Hawaiians Cook and his compatriots were welcomed as gods and for the next month exploited the Hawaiians’ good will.
