Introduction
Television survivor shows are wimpy. Contestants go home to hot showers, cozy beds and 24/7 takeout.
The real thing—birth of an island, migration of species that become unique due to the isolation of the land mass, people who arrive in tiny sailing canoes and meet and match every challenge, continuing waves of migrating people, warriors, battles, blood, sacrifice, plunder, kings and queens—now THAT’S a story!
It’s a story that’s neatly tucked into the volumes, videos and files of letters, maps, deeds, drawings and photos at the Kaua‘i Historical Society, where you can take a step back in time for a taste of the real thing.
