EVER WONDER HOW A STREET IN
HAWAI'I GOT ITS NAME?
AUTHENTIC EVERY THURSDAY.
DELVING INTO PARTS OF HAWAI'I'S
CULTURE.
KAMAKA PILI TAKES US ON A SIDE
STREET IN WAIKIKI NAMED AFTER A
PRINCESS.
WE'RE HERE IN THE AHUPUAA OF
MANOA HERE ON OAHU TO TALK ABOUT
UNONE OF THE PRINCESSES OF
HAWAI'I.
KAIULANI AVENUE.
PRINCESS VICTORIA CLEGGHORN
DAUGHTER OF LIKELIKE AND
SCOTTISH FINANCIER.
THE STREET IS APPROPRIATE
BECAUSE NEAR TO THIS AREA IS
WHERE THE ESTATE THAT ONCE
BELONGED TO THE OHANA KNOWN AS
AINA HOU.
AT 13, PRINCESS KAIULANI WAS
SENT TO ENGLAND.
SHE EXCELLED IN HER STUDIES.
IT WAS DURING HER TIME THERE
HER AUNTIE AND THE KINGDOM OF
OVERTHROWN.
SHE MADE PUBLIC SPEECHES, PUBLIC
APPEARANCES DENOUNCING THE
OVERTHROW AND INFORMERLY MET
WITH THEN GROVER CLEVELAND.
TO TRY TO FIND WAYS TO RESTORE
SOVEREIGNTY.
IT LED TO THE ANNEXATION OF
HAWAI'I.
IT TOOK PLACE IN 1898.
Kristine: WITH MORE OF THE
HISTORY BEHIND PRINCESS KAIULANI
IS KAMAKA PILI.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE PRINCESS.
WHERE WAS SHE BORN?
CENTRAL SCHOOL IS ON THE BOTTOM
OF NUUANU.
THERE WAS A HOUSE KNOWN AS K O
-- KEOA HALE.
AND ALSO THERE'S AT PACIFIC CLUB
NEAR THE CENTRAL SCHOOL, THERE'S
A PLACARD AT THE ENTRANCE THAT
STATES THAT AREA WAS THE AREA --
HISTORIC AREA BEING THE
BIRTHPLACE OF PRINCESS KAIULANI.
Kristine: SHE DIED AT A
YOUNG AGE.
AT AROUND 23, 2 4, SHE CAUGHT
HAWAI'I ISLAND.
SHE CAUGHT A COLD PREVIOUS TO
THAT.
DURING THAT EVENT SHE GOT CAUGHT
UP IN A STORM.
SHE CAUGHT FEVER AND KNEE PNEUMONIA.
RAPIDDECLINE OF HER DEATH.
Kristine: SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
VERY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS.
DID SHE EVER MARRY?
SHE ACTUALLY TRIED TO GET SET
UP BY HER UNCLE KING KALAKAUA
WITH A PRINCE OF JAPAN TO TRY TO
BUILD ALLIANCE.
SHE CLOSE NOT TO.
SHE SAID SHE WOULD ONLY MARRY
FOR LOVE UNLESS IT HAD TO DO
WITH PROTECTING THE KINGDOM OF
HAWAI'I.
ENDED UP 1889, YEAR PRIOR TO HER
DEATH SHE WAS ENGAGED TO PRINCE
DAVID KAWANANAKOA.
I BELIEVE THAT HAD TO DO WITH
BUILDING THE KING KINGDOM OF HAWAI'I
BE PASSED AWAY BEFORE.
Kristine: YOU MENTIONED
CLEGGHORN.
AINAHAU, YOU WOULD THINK IT'S
THE LAND OF A HAU BUSH.
IT'S A
NAME OF A WIND THAT BLOWS TO
WAIKIKI.
THE BRANCHES GROSS IN ALL
DIRECTION.
THE WIND DOES THAT.
AND IT'S THE WIND OF MANOA.
MEANS THE LAND OF THE COOL WIND.
Kristine: AND ARCHBOLTED
CLEGGHORN.
ANYTHING THAT EXISTED TODAY?
ALL THE PINE TREES OR BANYAN
TREESES IN WAIKIKI WERE PLANTED
BY HIM.
KAPIOLANI PARK WAS ESTABLISHED
BY THE WORDS OF KING KALAKAUA.
IN HONOR OF KING KALAKAUA.
Kristine: EVEN THAT BIG ONE
BY THE STATUTE ON KALAKAUA.
