John Kahalewai Kaunamano[1] (c. 1830 – May 3, 1902) was a Native Hawaiian newspaper publisher, editor and politician of the Kingdom of Hawaii and member of the Hawaiian Patriotic League.
Life[edit]
He was born possibly around 1830.[2] Kaunāmano, meaning "multitudes are placed [here]", was also the name of a land division within the district of Hamakua, on the island of Hawaii, which he would later represent.[3]
He was also a lawyer licensed to practice law around 1870.[4]
Ka Hoku o ka Pakipika (The Star of the Pacific). September 26, 1861 — May 14, 1863. Honolulu: J. K. Kaunamano, publisher. First paper established by a native Hawaiian (G. W. Mila and David Kalakaua, editors.[5] Also served as one of the editors for the Ka Leo O Ka Lahui (Voice of the Nation), published between 1889 and 1896
and sole editor for Ka Nupepa Aloha Aina, published between 1894 and 1895, and Ke Ola O Ka Lahui (Life of the Nation), published in 1899. [6] 54. 80, 83, In the election of 1892, Kaunamano was elected as a member of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Hawaiian legislature, for the district of Hamakua on the island of Hawaii. Defeating the National Liberal candidate Z. Paakiki from Hamakua, he ran as an Independent but the Blount Report later listed him as a member of the National Reform Party.[7] From May 28, 1892 to January 14, 1893, the legislature of the Kingdom convened for an unprecedented 171 days, which later historian Albertine Loomis dubbed the "Longest Legislature".[8] During this session, Kaunamano joined his fellow members in ousting a number Queen Liliʻuokalani's cabinet ministers for want of confidence, a power introduced by the Bayonet Constitution which empowered the legislative branch of government at the expense of the Queen.[9]
During the 1895 Counter-revolution in Hawaii, he was arrested and charged with conspiracy by forces loyal to the Republic of Hawaii.[10]
He died in Honolulu, on May 3, 1902, with his obituaries reporting he was around sixty years old. He was buried the following day from his home on Kukui Street.[11]
