		Captain Cook reached the Hawaiian Islands during the Makahiki season in 1778.

	Makahiki celebrates Scouting - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		The Makahiki, the oldest and probably loudest Scouting show in America, kicked off yesterday morning at the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall and, for six straight hours, more than 5,000 Scouts and their families blew the lid off the place.
		No one can really say what the glee level must have risen to at that first Makahiki in 1911, but if it was half that of yesterday's event, it's no wonder they've kept the fun and games going for 94 years.
		This year's Makahiki theme was special — the whole event was a celebration of the 75th anniversary of Cub Scouting and the 95th anniversary of Boy Scouting in America.

	The Best Makahiki Ever, by Fern Merle-Jones
		Our highest goal for this year's Thanksgiving Celebration was that everyone would truly celebrate and enjoy themselves - the organizers would have as much fun as the participants and that in fact there would be little difference between the people putting on the event and the people coming as guests.
		The first and probably most dramatic change was to have the Makahiki luau catered and to sell tickets to the meal.
		During the week of Makahiki, Aloha International presents a week-long conference of seminars, mini workshops, hikes, etc. led by Susan Floyd.

	Hawaii Inmates in OK allowed to observe Makahiki
		Native Hawaiian inmates incarcerated in Oklahoma were able to greet the beginning of the Makahiki season with prayers, chants and dancing due to the State of Hawai`i’s acknowledgment that the prisoners’ had a right to practice their Native Hawaiian religion.
		The State of Hawai`i’s recognition of the right of Native Hawaiian prisoners to practice their religion was a result of negotiations initiated by the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation (“NHLC”), on behalf of ten Native Hawaiian inmates.
		Sprenger said that the Hawaiian prisoners at Watonga often feel “alone and isolated – as if they’ve been banished from their land” and the right to gather together, to pray, chant, and dance, and to express their spiritual beliefs, is life-affirming and re-connects them with their `aina.

	Lono of the Makahiki
		During the Makahiki period athletic sports were celebrated, said to have been inaugurated by the god Lono in person.
		The mother honored Keawe's son, perhaps born propitiously during the period of the Makahiki, by giving him the name of Lono-i-ka-Makahiki, seeing perhaps in the child a symbol of the god's promised return.
		Just as Vedic hymns visualize the arrival of invited gods to the sacrifice in chariots drawn by steeds each of a distinctive color because thus they were accustomed to see their own superiors approach, so Lono would come to island dwellers in a double canoe of divine proportions such as their own chiefs employed.
