Paiea
lived in waipio valley for 5 years. When the threat on paieas
life passed he was returned to his parents. From there he was taken
to kailua and presented before elderly king alapai and renamed Kamehameha.
Kamehameha means the lonely one because in the days of his
childhood he didn't hang out with other children. After being renamed
he was taken to aili training for the next seven years. After
Kamehamehas father died, when he was 14, king kalaniopuu adopted
Kamehameha. Kamehameha was then taken to Kau, the warrior training grounds.
Here he learned spear throwing, wrestling, battle tactics, sex, and
spear dodging. He gained knowledge of navigation, history, astronomy,
religious ceremonies, prayers, Kapu, and his complete genealogy dating
back to the gods.
