Nāhienaena's Paū is the largest known Hawaiian feather cloak. It is a feather skirt (paū) made for Princess Nāhienaena. ==Story== The paū, or feather skirt, was made about 1824 for the Princess Nāhienaena, the daughter of King Kamehameha I and Keōpūolani, a highborn chiefess considered the most "sacred" of Kamehameha's wives. Descended from alii on Maui and the ruling chiefs of Hawaii island, Keōpūolani had a better family background than Kamehameha himself. Nāhienaena and her brothers were of the highest rank and were seen as "the strength and purity of the Hawaiian people." This special ceremonial garment symbolizes that rank. The paū was only worn once by the princess, apparently reluctantly. She was about 9 years old when the only engraving of her was drawn. The bodies of King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamāmalu had been brought back from Great Britain on the , and the first Christian memorial service was held for a Hawaiian King. She was conflicted with her religious beliefs; Keōpūolani and Queen Kaahumanu had converted to Christianity after the death of Kamehameha I and rejected the old Hawaiian religion, which the paū represented. She would run away and hide when ceremonial occasions demanded she wear the paū.〔
