Scenes from the Centennial
During four days in January 1993, thousands observed the centennial of the 1893 act of war against the Hawaiian Kingdom. 'Iolani Palace, Ali'iolani Hale and the Queen's statue were the sites for the commemoration, which included a historic march, speeches, music and the endless presentation of
ho'okupu (offerings).
This video documents some of these activities, including the speeches of Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa, Haunani-Kay Trask, Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewitt, Mililani Trask and Bumpy Kanahele.
Featured also are musical performances by Kamehameha School students and the Royal Hawaiian Band.
