"Hawaiian Restoration Day"

[Miulang]

By order of Mufi Hannemann and the State Legislature, Monday, April 30 (and every April 30 hereafter) is declared as "Hawaiian Restoration Day (http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Apr/28/br/br2068417935.html)".

In remembrance of President Grover Cleveland and Queen Liliuokalani, Monday has been declared Hawaiian Restoration Day in Hawai'i by a proclamation from Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann and a resolution of the state Legislature.

I didn't understand the relationship between President Cleveland and Queen Liliuokalani until I read the text of the House resolution (http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/sessioncurrent/Bills/HCR82_.htm). Fascinating.

and apparently no one involved understood that April 30th is the date in 1900 that the US officially made Hawai`i, originally an independent Nation, a territory of the US.

Recognizing the ties between Cleveland & the Queen is one thing but doing it on that particular day is just not right.

Happy Hawaiian Restoration Day Honolulu County! We don't do anything like that here in Hilo.:)
