Empire Projects
Saraya:
For the Empire Project, my group worked on giving information about Asia. We focused on the time during the Mongols. The leader that I researched was Genghis Kahn. He was a well known warrior and known for conquering a lot of Central Asia and China. Genghis Kahn reigned from 1206-1227. He was born in 1162 and passed away from internal injuries and falling off of his horse in 1227. I used the words aloha (love), paʻahana (industrious), hoʻokūkū, dedication, openness, and vision to describe him because that's what he showed in his work. He was a motivated and fearless man. These are the things he needed to be in order to be a successful leader and I look up to him for his dedication to his people. B. (2019, August 30). Genghis Khan.

I did my empire research on Africa and the leader I chose was Osei Kwadwo. He was born in the early 18th century and was called a Monarch. Kwadwo was a very important figure to his society in Ghana. He was also very important in terms of war and led his country into victory. His symbols were of gold as it represented the action and impact Kwadwo had on his empire. Throughout his reign he received many gifts of gold from his people to honor his name. The leadership terms I gave him were Naʻauao, Lokahi, and Kuleana. Kwadwo was very wise and brought his country together in unity as he took care of his responsibilities. Osei Kwadwo later passed in 1781.

I researched the Venetian Empire, which was an Italian sovereign maritime-based empire. Marino Faliero, which was the Venetian leader I researched, born sometime in 1274 (exact birth date is unknown), was the 55th doge of Venice, which is the highest position for the government at the time. He was appointed in September 11 1354. Before he became the leader, he was a navy commander and a Venice dimplomat. He was executed for trying to start a coup d’etat, and his portrait was taken down due to it. Pualani Kanaka’ole Kanahele, the Hawaiian leader I researched, born March 19, 1946, is a Hawaiian activist, scholar, author, and a hula teacher. Her and her sister are the sole inheritors of her mothers hula school, Halau 'O Kekuhi. She is of pure Hawaiian descent and was raised in the art of Hula.

The Empire which I researched was Mongolian Empire.The geographical area where the Mongolian Empire is located is Asia. The leader that I researched inside of this empire was Guyuk Khan. The date of his reign was 24 August 1246 – 20 April 1248. There is no exact date of birth but his date of death was April 20, 1248. An major impact Guyuk had on the empire was Guyuk wanted to turn the Mongol power against Europe, but Guyuk's premature death prevented Mongol forces from moving further into Western Europe. The icon that I chose for this project really connected to Guyuk because Geogle Helm wanted to protect his culture and did whatever he needed to do help the culture.
