Who was the legendary Princess Ruth?
NO.1
Princess Ruth was a direct descendant of Kamehameha I, who was the head chief to bring the Hawaiian Islands together during the 17 and 18th century. Born on February 9, 1826, Princess Ruth came to power during the 18th century, when theocracy, a system of government in which priest’s rule in the name of God or a god, which continues after the kappa system that is broken in 1817.
NO.2
She served as royal governor of the island of Hawai’i, and became a landowner, would become the largest landowner on the island. Unlike most of the rest of the royal family, who submitted to Christianity and the foreigner’s laws and traditions, she kept up Hawaiian’s traditions. Because of this, it led Westerners to think that she was backward and stupid. When her first husband died, she soon remarried her second husband, Isaac Davis, who was rather emotionally abusive, and soon became physical, to the point that he struck her across the face and left her a noticeable disfiguration on her nose. She would later divorce him, showing her strength to the American people on the island, and gain land from his wealthy family.
NO. 3
Princess Ruth now had a large hold of estates, elegant mansions and palaces held for the royal family, she preferred to live in a grass house and hold political, economic, etc. meetings there. She was intelligent and called a ‘shrewd businesswoman’, and a formidable political opponent, who cared for her people, and cared as much for her adopted son, who she wanted to be in line for the throne. He was raised knowing about the Hawaiian traditions and of the new laws, but unfortunately dies from fever. An incident, later on occurs when a volcano erupted and spewed molten lava down the roads into town, and when she came to visit and stood before it, the lava miraculously stopped. Some say she did it, that because of her royal lineage and her strong belief in her people and culture, she prayed long fully and was able to stop the lava flow.
Though she was highly respected, her main struggle was the control that the foreigners had over the island, but her hold over the old ways was what made her courageous in the change to Western ways. She was the final line of Hawaiian authority. Princess Ruth died on May 24th, 19th century, and her funeral was held June 17th.
