Ancient Hawaiian Family Genealogy
When King David Kalakaua chronicled his own family tree, he traced it all the way back to who he claimed were the first Kings of Hawaii. The history goes to speak of two Samoan High Chiefs and brothers, Pili and Pa'ao.
Many Polynesians lay claim that the original Polynesians today are of Samoan ancestry. Most academics agree that the words"Havaiki" or "Savaiki", are variations of the ancient homeland which Samoans call "Savai'i".
Also in Polynesian history, Samoans were thought to be from Heaven, they still hold the title today "People from the Sun".
