As a Brit I'm very proud that our National flag is part of the State flag of these beautiful islands. Although I'm not sure what mainland Americans outside Hawaii think of it.

Thank you Kalaniakea, our flag has always been a symbol of our close association with England. Through your presentation you you have expressed the undying Hawaiian spirit, and the love Hawaiians share for our islands.

Beautiful piece of history brother - and so well told... As an English lad who has spent the larger part of my life here in Hawai'i, I always have such a warm feeling to see the flag of my birth intertwined with that of my beloved adopted homeland. I already knew parts of the story you told - but you filled in some BIG gaps... Hope I can find more of your videos like this... Please keep doing what you're doing. Big mahalos.

Beautiful video. I just finished reading article "Ka Hae Hawai'i" in today's OHA publication saying that the January 1st, 1862 print was the second color print newspaper in the world. Great Britain was the first at a year earlier 😢? Either way, I'm still proud regardless, and still give him so much credit for the hours and hours of study he did for his thesis. What an enlightening experience that must've been. Mahalo for sharing.

Captain Cooke gave King Kamehameha the British Jack as a gift. The state flag was the very flag that flew with the American flag when the Queen was over thrown. Bishop museum, British Museum in London where today they still have Hawaiian artifacts and has legers/notes from a British reporter back in those days that wrote about the flags. If you do research you will see that the only sovereign Hawai'ian nation flag was king Kalākaua. That's why today King Kalākaua flag still is drapped over the entrance at Iolani Palace. Plus this is the 4th video I've seen on KZbin talking about the state flag and all 4 videos explanation is all different. Not even on the same page. You won't catch me flying a British Jack flag. Negative!!!!!!!!!

Best video I've seen lately concerning the origin and meaning of the Hawaiian flag from a true native of the kingdom of Hawaii. To me it really brings out more context of the struggle of the Hawaiian people's in respect to the protests going on now in 2019 concerning the sanctity of Mauna Kea vs the TMT telescope project. Hopefully this will be resolved in a manner befitting of the beauty, the people and the culture of these islands of Hawaii. Please do your best in sharing this video to all.

Now I'm convinced Maori originated from Hawaii, they merely named it Hawaiki, you are the only polynesian countries I'm aware of that use the word Mana, on top of having such similar spelling and meaning of different indigenous words. But just want to put it out there I'm quite sure that the French didn't support the Maori or vice versa, they were either pro-british or anti-british, they really didn't have allies, though those that were anti-british were quickly destroyed forced to forced to give up land.

@rksnote96355 жыл бұрын
The original structure in 1843 was a simple home known as Hale'Alii (Home of the Chief)..I can only assume that the speaker did not want to go into detail about Hale'Alii so he just called it the Palace as its more commonly known today. As they mentioned, there are many layers and the story can go on for hours.

Aloha, King Kamehamehas asked his Harbor Captain, Advisor and friend Captain Alexander Adams to design the Hawaiian Flag . King Kamehameha was quoted in saying "Call my haole, he will fix it, he will know what to do". Captain Alexander Adams married Charlotte Oli Harbottle whose mother is a High Chiefess.
