At her death, her estate was the largest private landownership in the Hawaiian Islands, comprising approximately 9% of Hawaii's total area. The revenues from these lands are used to operate the Kamehameha Schools, which were established in 1887 according to Pauahi's will. Pauahi was married to businessman and philanthropist Charles Reed Bishop. ==Ancestry, birth and early life== Pauahi was born in Honolulu on December 19, 1831 in Aikupika, the grass hut compound of her father, Abner Kuhooheiheipahu Pākī (c. 1808-1855). Pākī was an alii (noble) from the island of Molokai, and son of Alii Kalani-hele-maiiluna, who descended from the ali nui (ruling monarchs) of the island of Maui. Her mother was Laura Kōnia (c 1808-1857), the younger daughter of Ke Alii Pauli Kaōleiokū (1767–1818), by his second wife, Ke Alii Kahailiopua Luahine. Pauli was the son of Kānekapōlei, a former wife of Kamehameha I and Luahine was descended from Kalaimanokahoʻowaha who had greeted Captain Cook in 1778. Pauahi was named for her aunt, Queen Pauahi (c. 1804–1826), a widow of King Kamehameha II, and given the Christian name of Bernice. In a surviving ''mele hānau'' (birth chant) for Pauahi, the names Kalaninuiʻīamamao and Keaweikekahialiʻiokamoku are referenced and considered the main links to the Kamehamehas as Kalaninuiʻīamamao was the father of Kalaniʻōpuʻu and Keaweikekahialiʻiokamoku was the grandfather of Keōua, Kamehameha I's father. Pauahi's birth chant does not mention Kamehameha I himself. She was adopted at birth by Princess Kīnau (who took office in the position of Kuhina-Nui, styled as Kaahumanu II) however, when Kīnau gave birth to her daughter, Victoria Kamāmalu in 1838, Bernice was returned to her parents. Kīnau died of the mumps in 1839. Pauahi began attending the Chiefs' Children's School (later called the Royal School) that same year ad remaining there until 1846.〔 Her teachers were Mr. and Mrs. Cooke. Pauahi greatly enjoyed horseback riding and swimming, and she also liked music, flowers, and the outdoors. She dressed like any fashionable New York or London woman and wore the trappings of the Victorian Era. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernice Pauahi Bishop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
