Paddle

The Hawaiian islands were first discovered hundreds of years ago by Polynesians, the first Hawaiians. The first Hawaiians had their own unique set of laws called the kapu, and their own land system called the ahupua’a. When Kamehameha was still a young man, he was trained as a warrior and learned the ways of a chief. Many years later, he became the first person to unify, or become king of all 8 Hawaiian Islands, all because he was an effective leader. Kamehameha was an effective leader because…

“At first, I wanted to know how deep the water was before finding a good spot to fish, so I used a paddle to get an idea where the ground was,” stated Tyler while mimicking what he did with his pencil,” I was actually quite nervous too because it was a lot deeper than I thought as the whole paddle was in the water.” After doing so, Tyler, floating in the calm waters in his canoe, would cast his fishing line towards the water and wait for something…

I was going to miss this place. The Namekagon river had many aspects. When we were kayaking we got stuck in a sand bed, so we used our paddles and pushed each other out. One of the paddles broke, so I used half of it and continued kayaking. That’s what I call problem solving. We see deer standing at the edge of the river bank. Alan saw them first because he is a deer. We have about one more mile to go. I know…

After with his encounter with the fishermen at Papai, he declared the law of the “Splintered Paddle”, or “Mamalahoe.” This law states that by committing robbery or murder, you will receive the punishment of death. This protected Kamehameha and his people. The law of the mamalahoe was added after the unification of the islands. This…

He was a great warrior, diplomat and leader, united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom in 1810 after years of conflict. In ancient Hawaii, legends…

States until the mid-to-late twentieth century know that sound all too well. These students all knew exactly what was happening when they heard this noise. Each and every student knew that one of their peers had acted up and was being punished- with a paddle. Though in modern times many are opposing this form of discipline, even claiming it is abuse, corporal punishment is a very effective disciplinary action if used correctly. Corporal punishment in American schools has been a commonly…
