KAMEHAMEHA III - KAUIKEAOULI TO STAND TALL AT THOMAS SQUARE IN HONOLULU

















 




Hawai`i News Now - June 14, 2018

Amid the dust and grime of a California foundry sits the likeness of King Kamehameha III, Kauikeaouli.

An unlikely place to find Hawai`i’s longest reigning monarch, but there, he is of king-sized proportion.

As part of the City’s plans to improve Thomas Square, Hawai`i’s oldest park, an artist was commissioned to sculpt a statue of Kamehameha III to commemorate the monarch’s historical connection to the area.

“It started with a call and we received over 80 applicants from all over the country,” Tory Laitila, the Registrar of Honolulu Mayor’s Office of Culture and Arts said. 

Thomas Jay Warren, a sculptor from Oregon, was chosen to craft the $250,000 bronze statue.

“The total span of the project is going to 11 months, from the time I started enlarging, from the decision that was created by the commission, 11 months from that enlargement to 12 feet, to finishing the casting, to delivering and installing it in Honolulu,” Warren said.

Island News recently got a glimpse of the statue when Laitila traveled to Berkeley to check on the progress of the project.

Kauikeaouli will stand at 12-feet tall but laid in nearly two dozen newly cast pieces across the foundry that day. The characters - K III - can be seen etched onto his collar alongside a kalo. The monarch’s hair - short, wavy, and slightly side-swept.

A sole flag pole donning only the hae Hawai`i, or Hawaiian flag, will accompany Kauikeaouli upon a pedestal near the center of Thomas Square when the statue is installed.

The statue will be shipped to Honolulu in July ahead of La Ho`iho`i Ea, Sovereignty Restoration Day.

“Restoration Day this year is the 175th anniversary of the event so there’ll be a very large commemoration event at the park,” Laitila said. “There are many people looking forward to actual restoration day this year as well as the dedication of the sculpture.”

La Ho`iho`i Ea began in 1843 under Kamehameha III after rogue agents of the British Crown seized control of the government by order of British Lord George Paulette. 

During this time, all Hawaiian flags were lowered and burned. Months later, Queen Victoria sent Admiral Richard Thomas to Hawai`i to remove Paulette and reinstate the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Following the reinstatement of the Kingdom, a flag ceremony was held in Thomas Square where the Union Jack was lowered and the Hawaiian flag raised. This ceremony is where Kamehameha III spoke the popular proclamation, “Ua mau ke ea o ka ‘aina i ka pono,” loosely translated as “the sovereignty of Hawai`i is restored by righteousness.”

The park’s surrounding streets also acknowledge the Kingdom’s history with Britain. Beretania Street, on the mauka-side of the park, means Britain in the Hawaiian language and Victoria Street, on the Diamond Head side, pays tribute to Queen Victoria.

And though he’s been sculpting for over three decades, Warren is still moved by the opportunity to create memorials featuring persons of cultural significance. Those feelings resonated in the words he spoke of Kauikeaouli.

“He managed to get the Kingdom of Hawai`i back from the British without firing a single shot and that to me is an amazing piece of diplomacy,” Warren said. “I research my subjects and the history, I read about him and we could use more people in public service like he was for his people.”

"Kokua Junkies - A Visit With Rick Rutiz"

Kokua is the Hawaiian word meaning to help and no one turns more kids into kokua junkies, those who enjoy helping others, than Rick Rutiz who heads the non-profit Ma Ka Hana Ka `Ike in Hana, Maui. So much so in fact that he trained the students at Hana elementary and secondary school to construct all the classrooms themselves. As if that wasnʻt enough his students also go out into the community and build homes at no cost whatsoever for Hanaʻs elderly population. Join us in our visit with Rick as we tour the school campus and hear the story of this remarkable man and his students who love to help others - Watch It Here

CURIOUS ABOUT HOW HAWAI`I SUPPOSEDLY BECAME A US STATE ?

The United States acquired Hawai`i through force.

Queen Lili'uokalani, Hawai`i's last Queen, was deposed on Jan. 17, 1893, by a group of American businessmen supported by the United States Navy and Marine Corps and diplomatic representatives.

Sovereignty of Hawai`i was allegedly transferred to the US on Aug. 12, 1898 during ceremonies at `Iolani Palace in Honolulu, on the island of O`ahu.

Hawai`i allegedly became a US territory in 1900.

On Nov. 23, 1993, the United States apologized for illegally overthrowing the Kingdom of Hawai`i, and recognized the inherent sovereignty and right of self-determination of native islanders.

Needless to say, a lot of shady events took place between January 17,1893 and August 21, 1959.

Today, the US and itʻs puppet, the fake state of Hawai`i, is attempting to cover over itʻs illegal and immoral acts by offering to make native Hawaiians American Indians and place them on reservations.

Needless to say Hawaiian sovereignty is a hot issue in the islands to this day and likely will be for as long as the United States illegal occupation of Hawai`i continues.

Hawaiian Kingdom Nationals Were Told They Were Adopted - But Instead Found Out They'd Been Kidnapped.
