TODAY IS KA LA HO`IHO`I EA - RESTORATION DAY - IN HAWAI`I
What Is Restoration Day?
Ka La Ho`iho`i Ea (Restoration Day) celebrates the 1843 British withdrawal from their 5-month military occupation of our homeland.
The observance of this event was revived at Thomas Square in Honolulu in 1985.
Thomas Square is named after the British military commander who withdrew the British military occupation from Hawai'i in 1843.
Since then, we yearly call upon the US to withdraw from its illegal occupation of our homeland.
It took the British only five months to realize their mistake.
Why are we still waiting over one hundred years later for the United States to realize theirs?
Hawai'i was a free nation - but never free for the taking!
