Restoration Day - This Sunday


1843: Key events in the origin of Ka La Ho'iho'i Ea (Restoration Day)
  • Lord George Paulet, commanding the British frigate Carysfort, arrives on February 10 and demands provisional cession of Hawai‘i to Great Britain.
  • Lord Paulet on February 15 orders the Hawaiian flag lowered and the British flag raised over Hawai‘i.
  • Admiral Richard Thomas, commanding H.M.S. flagship Dublin, arrives on July 26.
  • He rescinds the cession under Paulet and restores sovereignty to the Islands.
  • Kamehameha II, in his restoration day speech, recites a phrase that becomes Hawaii's national motto: Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono ("The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness").
  • England and France recognize the independence of the Sandwich Islands on November 28.

July 31 became Ka La Ho'iho'i Ea, Restoration Day, and November 28 became Ka La Ku'oko'a, Independence Day for the Hawaiian kingdom.
