Just flagging this for anyone interested, its starting this week on Apple tv, I read a review about it in the paper today, its about the tribal wars around the unification of the Hawaiian islands in the 17 and 18 hundreds. No idea if its any good but for those of us who love to travel and are interested in Hawaiian history, might be worth checking out.

A new TV series titled Chief of War is starting this week on Apple TV. The series focuses on the tribal wars and conflicts that occurred during the unification of the Hawaiian Islands in the 17th and 18th centuries. It promises to explore key historical events and figures from Hawaiian history, providing context to how the islands were unified under a single rule.

While reviews are just beginning to appear, the series may appeal particularly to viewers who enjoy historical dramas, cultural storytelling, and Hawaiian history. For travelers and history enthusiasts, it could provide an engaging perspective on the islands beyond typical tourist attractions.

  • Watch the series to gain insight into Hawaiian tribal conflicts and the historical context of unification.
  • Use it as inspiration for visiting historical sites in Hawaii related to King Kamehameha and other prominent figures.
  • Discuss with fellow viewers or on forums to explore how accurately the series portrays historical events.

Even if the series leans towards dramatization, it can spark curiosity about Hawaii’s rich cultural and political history. For those planning a trip to the islands, it can serve as a visual introduction to the people, traditions, and historical struggles that shaped modern Hawaii.

Consider pairing the viewing experience with research or reading about Hawaiian history to differentiate between dramatized elements and documented facts.
