Kristine: EVER WONDER HOW A
HAWAI'I STREET GOT ITS NAME.
ER THURSDAY WE HAVE OUR ALOHA
AUTHENTIC SEGMENT TO BRING
AWARENESS TO HAWAI'I'S CULTURE.
IN THIS WEEK'S SEGMENT, KAMAKA
PILI TAKES US TO A SIDE STREET
IN WAIKIKI.
THE HOME OF HAWAI'I'S LAST
RULING MONARCHY USED TO STAND.
WE'RE HERE IN THE AHUPUAA OF
MANOA IN THIS AREA WE KNOW AS
WAIKIKI TO SHARE ABOUT THIS
STREET, PAOKALANI AVENUE.
FROM AN ESTATE THAT WAS OWNED BY
QUEEN LILIUOKALANI.
QUEEN LILIUOKALANI LOVED TO
SPEND HER TIME AT THIS ESTATE
COMPOSEING MUSIC AND A GARDEN.
SHE SET A YOUNG BOY TO COME TO
THIS GARDEN, PICK FLOWERS, WRAP
THEM UP TO A CURRENT NEWSPAPER.
IT WAS THREW THIS NEWSPAPER SHE
WAS KEPT UP WITH THE TIMES AND
HER PEOPLE WHAT WAS GOING ON
OUTSIDE THE PALACE AND OUTSIDE
HER IMPRISONMENT.
DID YOU MOW? YOU KNOW?
NOW YOU DO.
Kristine: JOINING US IS
KAMAKA PILI.
GOOD MORNING.
ALOHA.
Kristine: IT'S A SIZE
STREET.
AND YOU NEVER KNEW ONCE YOU PAST
BY A DRIVE THIS WAS ONE OF THE
HOME OF THE LAST RULING MONARCH.
WAIKIKI HOLDS SO MUCH
HISTORY.
YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IF YOU'RE
JUST DRIVING BY WITH ALL THE
HUSTLE AND BUSTLE GOING ON.
Kristine: WHEN DID JOHN
BURNS SEARCH?
ONE WAS 1920 TO '27.
AND IN THE 46 TO '54.
HE WAS ONE OF THE COFOUNDERS OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
TALKED ABOUT QUEEN
LILIUOKALANI'S IMPRISONMENT.
WHAT ARE SOME THINGS?
DURING THAT TIME, SHE
ACTUALLY -- IT WAS FEARFUL SHE
WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE PALACE
ALIVE.
SHE TRIED TO DOCUMENT A LOVE OF
THINGS.
ONE THING IS TRANSLATE THE
HAWAIIAN CREATION CHANT.
SHE TRANSLATEDDED TO ENGLISH.
THE REASON IS SO PEOPLE CAN GET
A FEELING OF WHAT HER HERITAGE
WAS ABOUT.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHAT SHE DID
WAS RETRANCE DESCRIBE ONE OF THE
SONGS SHE COMPOSED, ALOHA OE.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE
MOST FAMOUS AND WELL KNOWN SONGS
TODAY.
Kristine: SHE WAS
IMPRISONED FOR ABOUT EIGHT
MONTHS.
WHAT DID SHE DO AFTER THAT.
SHE CONTINUED TO FIGHT FOR
HER PEOPLE AND KINGDOM.
SHE LEFT WASHINGTON, D.C. TO
SEEK HELP FROM GLOVEER CLEVELAND.
THERE'S THAT TERM LAME DUCK.
HE WAS COMING TO THE END OF HIS
TERM AND HIS SUCCESSOR WAS IN
SUPPORT OF THE ANNEXATION.
Kristine: WHEN DID SHE
PASS?
NOVEMBER 11TH, 1917.
MY TUTU WAS STILL ALIVE.
SHE'S 102.
SHE WAS BORN JANUARY 13TH, 1916.
FOR ME TO THINK MY TUTU WAS
ALIVE WHEN THE QUEEN WAS ALIVE.
SHE PASSED AWAY ACROSS FROM THE
CAPITOL.
AND TODAY IS AT THE ROYAL MASS
SOE LEAP.
ONLY A COUPLE PLACES THAT RAISES
THE HAWAIIAN FLAG IN THE STATE
OF HAWAI'I.
Kristine: THERE'S A LOT OF
INFORMATION TO LEARN ABOUT THE
QUEEN AND WHAT SHE DID FOR HER
PEOPLE.
I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TAKE A
TOUR AT IOLANI PALACE.
THAT'S WITH THAT OF THOSE
EXPERIENCES YOU WILL NEVER
FORGET.
EVERYTHING IS SET UP IN THAT
SAME STYLE THAT HAS BEEN BACK
THEN.
CHECK OUT IOLANI WEBSITE AND
QUEEN LILIUOKALANI TRUST.
THAT HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
Kristine: A LOT OF US
HAVEN'T BEEN BACK SINCE
ELEMENTARY.
