As we had already talked about it about the profession of Francis, he was aware of the marine lanes by heart. For family supplies, he was the one who sailed for trade in different parts of the country. His eldest son began to take an interest in sailing and Eliza could only see the father-his duo signing him, telling him that they would soon be back. One day Francis and his eldest son ready to travel on their self-manufactured boat,Jessie Millar. But something happened that day ...

The incident

Francis and his eldest son left the shore with several other people and the ship was filled with people. It was not something new that they were doing this time, as they did for all their lives. Everyone was on this vessel for a single goal that had to exchange and buy the property of the family. But that seemed to be that the sea was not in a good mood that day andJessie Millarcrushed. Nobody has survived but memories for their loved ones. At the age of 46, Eliza was now widowed. The last cargo that was with Eliza when this unfortunate event took place, broke all his dreams. But things become darker for her ...

And then there was 6

Eliza was now left with his 5 children and the last cargo reserve and she was not ready to take care of it, but she had to move on. Determined, she was ready to change the lives of her children and it was time to strengthen her Scottish roots to go out. Back in the 1800s, no one saw a woman successful without husband. Eliza was different and she knew what was right for her and what she did was just extraordinary. People started to see it with a different angle.

New start!

With five children at his side, Eliza started working on his farm in Pigeon Bay, which was soon flourished with happiness. She married all her children and bought a ship for herself. She named her shipBessieand was determined to do this work and sworn that she will never let anything happen atBessie.It was time to make history and Eliza was ready for that. What she then did was something extraordinary who changed the destiny of the island.

A big family

Eliza married her five children and soon the kids started having their own family and five Sinclair families were now a large and happy family. With a farm, she was able to support her five children, but now, when the Sinclair clan was more a family of more than 35 people they needed more land to support everyone. And then Eliza decided that she will sell the farm and navigate northwestern Pacific with all her family and start again.

New start

The new shipBessiewas ready to navigate. In 1863, the Sinclair family was on the ship, ready to navigate for British Columbia, where they hope to acquire a great new land for the whole family. After sailing the new ship to a new land, the family was excited and happy. But Vancouver Island had something else planned for the family and when they thought things would be easy, it turned out to face.

Unexpected view

After reaching Vancouver Island, the family was surprised to see that the land was not really ground but filled with wild and undeveloped nature. They did not wait for that because the earth was not able to be counted as a decent farm. Eliza did not lose hope. She climbed an idea. She thought of moving to California but destiny had had other projects and the family entered a place where no one has heard. The place has just come out before them as if he was waiting for them. Soon, the mystery around the prohibited island has been solved. But if it was resolved, while it was only nobody was able to enter the island? Was it really an island or just an illusion of the family?

The Sandwich Islands

The Hawaiian Islands are also known as Sandwich Island and the Maritime Road was the safest at the back and then ships are happening. Eliza took the same route and without chatting with the family, she turned in the night and sailed her ship to the south of Hawaii. Obviously, she was worried about her decision, but that did not prevent him from making the decision on a change in life. She was convinced that it would change the life of her family forever. Indeed, it has changed a life but in the most unexpected way.

And they arrived

When she arrived at this mysterious island Eliza was only 63 years old. She was courageous and made a decision she thought better for the family. Eliza and his family were in Hawaii. Looking at the place where the family realized this place was not California but something else. Eliza who looked at the sea spotted another ship that came their way. It was the ship of King Kamehameha V, the leader of the Hawaiian Islands. But then something incredible happened with the family.

King's proposal

King Kamehameha V had just visited the islands when the crew members spotted an unknown ship and notified the king. The king ordered the captain of the ship to take him on this island. King Kamehameha met Eliza and introduced himself. She asked about the island that looked so mysterious to the whole family. The king told them that this island is Niihau. It was then that King asked if Eliza was willing to buy this island. She was surprised and happy in the last case they could start nine. But it was just a start.

Why sell the island?

We do not know why Kamehameha V has agreed to sell the island to Eliza in the first place. In 1864, Elizabeth Sinclair bought the island of Niihau de la Kamehameha V for $ 10,000 that she paid in gold. But there was a condition that the king put in front of Eliza who changed the fate of the family and the island. The condition was difficult but always, Elizabeth was tired of traveling and she agrees on this condition. So what was the condition?

Finally, it's up to you

Kamehameha V sold the island to Sinclaire and said: "Nihau is up to you. But the day can come when the Hawaiians are not as strong in Hawaii as today. When that day arrives, please do what You can help them. "After hearing these words, she has just received a new goal in her life. She and her family were more than happy to help people. Surprisingly, there were humans living in this little mysterious island. But what helped Kamehameha?

Sinclair's Family New Home

The Sinclair family has settled in their new life in Niihau Island. They knew what they promised the guy before buying the island and Eliza made sure that the promise remains with the family. Soon, Elizabeth was chosen as a check by the indigenous peoples of the island of Niihau. The Sinclair family worked very hard for locals. They provided them homes, it's also free. The natives of the island of Niihau were not aware of the outside world of how other countries were, so they welcomed the changes made by the Sinclair family.

A new rule

It was not as if they imposed strict rules on the natives, but they only asked the natives that to attend the Church every Sunday, which was not much of a task because, at Cause of colonization, people have already been presented to Christianity. After Christianity has been presented to these people, several missionaries have stayed on this island for a while.

Decades after

After a few decades later in 1893, the Hawaiian monarchy ended after the intervention of the US government. While the US government tried to impose the state in the Hawaiian Islands, the culture and traditions of these islands began to disappear. But the island of Niihau did not open its doors for outdoor people and remained hidden from the US government.

Private property

The Sinclairs were able to prevent the American government from entering the island while the island was a private property and the family did its best to make sure things stay as they were. The family has created a pressure that has built a wall between Niihaunian and the United States. It was in the 1930s when Niihau made a very spectacular proclamation that changed the history of the island of Niihau.

decision

The island has decided to allow any American influence on the people and made sure the island would be completely extinguished. The island has been closed to all visitors. This decision was really made to protect the natives from the island. At the time, diseases like polio and measles spread like a fire around the world and saving Aboriginal people from these diseases, they made sure that no one from the outside world enters the island.

No foreigners

After cutting each link with the outside world, Niihau was saved and was able to preserve his culture called "Kahiki". Unlike other Hawaii Islands that went to Nuhaii fought for its independence. They knew how important their roots are. And Eliza was able to keep his promise she made to Kamehameha V. Today, Niihau is the only place around the world where the Hawaiian language is the dominant.

Not an excluded

It's not like these nihauans live differently, it's just that they have their own way of life that makes them different from others. Even in this place, many indicatives speak several other languages ​​and people do not only account for agriculture, but are looking for job opportunities on the island forbidden and Kauai. They are aware of everything that is happening in the world, but as they say, each piece has two sides and, like this, the decision to stay away from the outside world has also affected it in any way whether it be.

Solar energy

When the natives decided to cut each tie from the outside world and make sure that no one from the outside world enters the property, they also cut many opportunities, such as electricity. But that did not stop natives. Although they do not have a running water and electricity facility, they rely on other resources. They suffered civilization on the waters collected and produced electricity using solar panels. In Niihau, each house has a solar panel installed on the roof. Incredible, right?

Weekly deliveries

The Kauai is much more advanced than the Niihau and the inhabitants of Niihau know it for a fact and that is why they know how to use the resources of their neighbor Kauai. They get their weekly grocery deliveries and other needs of the parts of Kauai. Although alcohol and tobacco are never included in these lists because the sinlays have also officially prohibited and firearms.

Goal

Although they have banned firearms on the island, they always fulfill an external purpose for someone else. Due to the reason that this place is strategically in a very important position for the United States, the US military has set up a base of the army near Niihau Island. And because of these many Niihauns serve in the US military.

No authorized celebrity

It's not just that the general public is not allowed to visit the island, but even celebrities such as Mick Jagger, the request was refused when he wanted to visit the island. He even said he will not work on the island and will not take a look of what precedes through his helicopter, but the sinlays have not changed rules for anyone.

Current Niihau Island

Thanks to sorts who did not abandon the island and held their promise that they did to Kamehameha V when they bought the island. Even today, the island is the same as the day it was bought in the 19th century. This place is left alone for a very good reason.
