IN MEMORIAM OF QUEEN LILIUOKALANI
123 years ago, Wednesday, July 4th, 1894, the Provisional Government of Hawaii, with the assistance of U.S. armed forces and U.S. Representatives, adopted and proclaimed a new Constitution which established the Republic of Hawaii. Without the assistance of U.S. armed forces, the Provisional Government could not have successfully accomplished their coup detat to illegally and unlawfully, overthrow Queen Liliuokalani of the Hawaiian Islands. They charged her with misprision of treason, imprisoned her in her own palace, forced her to sign a letter of abdication, and basically stripped her of her rights as the Constitutional Sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands. While the newly adopted Constitution secured the rights of citizenship for 3000-4000 citizens of the Republic of Hawaii, it did not acquire, confer, extinguish, protect, or replace, the rights of roughly 110,000 Na Kanaka Lahui e, Na Kanaka Haole Hawaii, a e Na Kanaka Maoli., subjects of Ko Hawaii Pae Aina. E ola mau no Liliuokalani!!!
