It's interesting that the newspaper makes something kapu in 1836, when king Liholiho and queen Kaahumanu had officially ended the kapu system in 1819. By the way, kapu does not just mean forbidden or to be used for no trespassing signs. It was the traditional social structure. The hawaiian language was oral and was not written until it was put to paper by the missionaries in 1820. What was written in the newspaper in 1836 as pakalolo being Kapu, is more akin to missionary propaganda vs what Hawaiian law under the kapu system forbade.
