"[Story] divided into two distinct epochs. In the first the natives of the north of the islands fought for their independence and their right to have a king and be governed by their own laws. ... The second epoch embraces the struggles brought about by the conversion of a portion of the tribes to the fanatical belief called the Pai Marire (literally "good and peaceful"), whose votaries were generally known as the Hau-Haus"--Preface.
