Hauoli La Hanau e Kapiolani! It is on this day in 1834 that Kapiolani was born. Very much concerned with the health and well being of the Hawaiian people, Kapiolani spearheaded various projects for the sick and destitute. She was a benevolent woman who kept her people in mind. Her selfless actions helped to start Kapiolani Maternity Home, now known as Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children. The Queen also helped those with Hansen’s disease, or leprosy, by providing aid to those at the Kalaupapa settlement on Molokai.
A woman of the people, the Queen was held in high esteem by many and was celebrated by all. For her 52nd birthday, the Queen was celebrated on the Palace grounds. The Royal Hawaiian Band was in attendance and played music for Her Majesty. The King’s Own (Infantry), under the command of Captain Clark, was appointed as the guard of honor on this day. The Naha Society presented the Queen with a congratulatory address and presented her with the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Kamehameha set in diamonds. It was a momentous day for the Queen as she was celebrated by many.
On this day, we celebrate the life and legacy of Queen Kapiolani.
