Ka La Ku’oko’a – Hawaiian Independence Day
Ka La Ku’oko’a (Hawaiian Independence Day) is November 28th, celebrating the day in 1843 when England and France formally recognized Hawaii’s independence.
This year it happens to fall on the same day as the American holiday of Thanksgiving. But while we’re gathered for sharing gratitude and good food, we can also share some knowledge about Hawaii’s proud history.
Here’s a flyer Leon Siu put together with some good background information on the Hawaiian holiday that is also happening today.
