Aloha mai,
On September 4, 2011, at Iolani Palace, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the
Hawai'i Pono'i Coalition will honor Queen Lili'uokalani as a world leader
of peace and justice. It's a special day for all of us to gather to
remember this great leader, to reflect on the past, to look to the future.
It's a family day where kama'aina and malihini can gather to learn about
Hawai'i's history, enjoy great entertainment, food, and cultural activities,
see a play and walk on a tour.
"'Onipa'a" as this event is known will feature:
- Entertainment by the Royal Hawaiian Band, Jerry Santos and Olomana, Ipo
Kumukahi, Halau I Ka Wekiu (Michael Nalanakila'ekolu Casupang and Karl Veto
Baker, Na Kumu Hula), and others
- Ecumenical Services at Noon with Kahu Van Culin and Nola Nahulu
- Presentation by Walter Kawaiae'a on the Queen's Music
- The Queen's Play by the Ka Lei Maile Ali'i Hawaiian Civic Club

to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy under the direction of noted
playwright Victoria Kneubuhl.)
- Free Administration to 'Iolani Palace
- Cultural and educational exhibitions
Please join us - spread the invitation to families and friends!

About the Hawai'i Pono'i Coalition
Hawai'i Pono'i is the title of the Hawai'i National Anthem written by King
Kalakaua in 1874. Literally translated "Hawai'i's Own", Hawai'i Pono'i
connects us to the history of the islands and the heritage of its indigenous
people, a heritage that enriches us all. The Hawai'i Pono'i Coalition was
formed to educate those who live in and visit the islands about Hawai'i's
true history, the Native Hawaiian people, and the culture that makes Hawai'i
a place like no other.
