Sovereignty Weekend


From OHA's Ka Wai Ola O OHA newsletter (page 16 PDF):

Days of Remembrance

2.5-mile run and a ceremony marking the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom will highlight this year's sovereignty weekend at 'Iolani Palace starting Jan. 13.

The three-day event, presented by 'Ïlio'ulaokalani Coalition and the Living Nation organization, kicks off on Friday evening with a celebration of the 164th birthday of Hawaiian nationalist Joseph Kaho'oluhi Näwahïokalani'öpu'u. Hawaiian language scholar Puakea Nogelmeier will give a lecture on the life and accomplishments of this kingdom legislator and staunch Hawaiian independence advocate.

Beginning at noon on Saturday, a 24-hour vigil will be held to honor the ali'i and various Hawaiians who fought to protect the independence of the kingdom. A ceremony will be held at midnight to pay homage to past Hawaiian patriots, including the late Kïna'u Boyd Kamali'i, who died in October.

On Sunday, a Ku i ka Pono Run for Justice will be held to promote the health and wellness of Hawaiians and others. The 2.5mile route circles several blocks around 'Iolani Palace, starting at the palace's front gate.

The official program observing the overthrow will begin at 10 a.m. and feature hula performances, music and speakers touching on such issues as Hawaiian history, intellectual property rights and economic development. Kumu hula John Ka'imikaua will deliver the keynote address.

Throughout the day on Sunday, the palace grounds will be filled with food vendors and booths featuring arts, crafts and culture demonstrations.

For information, contact 'Ïlio'ulaokalani Coalition at 753-9773, or call Mel Kalahiki of Living Nation at 236-3636.
