 In 1779, Captain James Cook arrived in Kealakekua Bay on the island of Hawaii during the season and was greeted by the Hawaiians reciting the "Kumulipo".Some stories say Cook was mistaken for Lono, because of the type of sails on his ship and his pale skintone.In 1889, King Kalākaua printed a sixty-page pamphlet of the "Kumulipo".
