Lord of the Haao Rain addresses the hundred-year-old mystery of a tomb with fabulous Hawaiian ethnographic riches discovered in 1905 called Forbes Cave. This treasure was sealed back in the cave in 2000, recovered in 2006, only to be  sealed away again in restricted museum storage where it has languished for over a decade without resolution.

PART ONE

Part One is the story of “Lord of the Haao Rain”, the revered 18th century Hawaii Island Keawe dynasty ruling chief, Keouakuahuula, who with his twin brother repeatedly fought and consistently defeated the invading armies of their older cousin, Kamehameha, until Kamehameha assassinated Keouakuahuula and later sacrificed his twin brother.

PART TWO

Part Two identifies Forbes Cave as the tomb of Keouakuahuula, last ruling  chief of the primary descendant line of the century-old Keawe dynasty. The treasures interred with him are identified here as his personal royal regalia and ceremonial articles for temple
rites associated with this sacred ruling chief who was also last senior Keawe dynasty high-priest of the ancient Hawaii Island Lono order.
