I believe it’s necessary as part of the first steps towards the restoration of the HK, the return of Native Hawaiian history, culture, traditions, language and music, and the recognition of HK sovereignty by one of the World’s leading powers, Great Britain, in 1843. I believe both Native Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians should be educated, informed, and made aware with the same “sheet of music” so that we can all better understand, share, and appreciate the history of the HK rather than each person having their own understanding, perspective, and insight that may result in much confusion and chaos.
Very interesting – the typical co-opting of culture in ways deemed acceptable by the State of Hawaii and US. Of course, the footer of the release makes the National Park Services’ intent clear: US benevolence in caring for our lands so all may experience our heritage.
I imagine it’s a heavy responsibility for any Hawaiian serving as a cultural ambassador chosen to lead the historical presentation and flag honoring. Because to really honor this important day, I imagine it would require either putting this event into its true historical context, or else incorrectly conveying the intent and victory obtained in 1843 has somehow perpetuated since that time… or ignorance the true history and irony of this all.
Thats right Pomai, every day is Hawaiian flag day, so take down the occupiers flag and raise the Hawaiian flag (not upside down) and be proud you live in the Hawaiian Kingdom, and celebrate all Hawaiian Kingdom holidays. PROUD TO BE HAWAIIAN
Nice, maybe they are slowing moving in the direction of de-occuption. 🙂
Aloha Russell,

It’s good that the U.S. National Parks on the Big Island honors La ho’iho’i ea,
it would be nice if they also honor La ku’oko’a, November 28, 1843.
Doesn’t matter they are still occupying our homeland,a little crumb to pacify the natives.
I agree what about rest of the islands, no more I see poor effort still at it……..
everyday is hawaiian flag day.
the sovereign nation is perpetuated in righteousness.
Aloha Aina
till the last one… free hawaii
