Hawaiian Independence Day history; Wrongful Occupation review
In the November issue of Ka Wai Ola O OHA,
Keanu Sai has an article on Independence Day, La
Ku'oko'a: Nov. 28 that gives a brief history of the origin of the
Hawaiian national holiday, and the Anglo-Franco
Proclamation housed in the national archives of
Britain.There
is also a good review of
Noho
Hewa:You know that feeling that you get in your na'au when you drive past 'Iolani Palace or when you hear Kaulana Nā Pua? That chicken-skin feeling that comes over you and lets you know that your kūpuna have been disturbed? That intrinsic sense that wrong has been done?
Noho Hewa: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai'i captures that feeling on film.
Update:
Ka Wai Ola has the photo of only the second page of the proclamation,
see the extended
entry for both pages.
