"The Citizen Royal" KUHIO Day Parade
"- It honors a man who went from being the adopted son of a king to a counterrevolutionary to Hawaii’s voice in the U.S. Congress. Prince Kuhio was born March 26, 1871, the youngest of three sons of Kauai’s High Chief David Kahalepouli Piikoi and Princess Kinoiki Kekaulike. He grew to be a pragmatic politician called the “Citizen Prince” because of his devotion to the Hawaiian people. After the annexation, although they couldn’t vote for the president, citizens of the territory could elect a nonvoting delegate to Congress. In 1902, Prince Kuhio, was elected delegate and served until his death Jan. 7, 1922. He was 50.
In Washington, D.C., where many considered Hawaiians to be simple natives, Prince Kuhio cajoled Congress into appropriating millions for the construction of Pearl Harbor. He was credited with creating Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The prince also created the Hawaiian Homes Commission to get his people back on the land. In 1920, the last of the alii (High Chief/Royal) to wield real political power introduced the first congressional resolution calling for Hawaii statehood. In 1949, the date of Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana’ole birth was declared a holiday. The Territorial Legislature wanted to honor the Citizen Prince, a man who never forgot his people.

I love the quotes and pics today, especially the quote that being defeated by life's challenges is optional (even when we don't get our own way). Thanks for sharing another story of a great Hawaiian! I learn so much from you. It looks like Pixie is reminding us that if we don't hold onto our piece of mind, she will grasp onto us and not let go until we get a grip!
Thank you for celebrating the Citizen Prince. And for educating me about him. I am defeated often, but do not give up.
I adore both of you ❤️🌹
Nice as always.
Cute Pixie photo and I like the cute ducks.
Great quotes. Take care, have a great day!
Pixie is very glamorous today. The ducklings are adorable.
It's good to learn of the Citizen Prince. Love the quotes today, Cloudia.
...it's all in the timing.
So that's who was behind Pearl Harbor. Brilliant. I didn't know this.
