DTL Hawaii’s Post

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau to Lot Kapuāiwa, or Kamehameha V, born on December 11, 1830. As the last direct descendant of Kamehameha to rule the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, his reign was defined by his commitment to his people and culture. His motto, “Onipaʻa,” meaning steadfastness and determination, guided his leadership. He bravely rejected the 1852 constitution upon his inauguration, believing it didn’t serve the best interests of his people. Under his leadership, he founded the Royal Order of Kamehameha I in 1865, and established King Kamehameha Day, a day we honor every year. #dtl #dtlhawaii #hawaii #hauolilahanau #alii #lotkapuaiwa #kamehameha
