(The Prince of the People)
What is Kūhiō Day and why is it a state holiday? Prince Kūhiō was the last prince of Hawai‘i and the first titled royal in the Congress of the United States. He is well known for his efforts to preserve and strengthen the Hawaiian people. The Territorial Legislature passed a resolution in 1949 establishing March 26 (his birthday) as a territorial holiday in his honor. In Hawai‘i, Kūhiō Day is still celebrated on March 26 as a state holiday. In respect to his memory and his accomplishments, Auntie Jessie Ke, a revered kupuna of Ka ͑ ū, will talk about the Prince, his legacy, the Hawaiian Civic Club movement, and the Hawaiian Civic Club of Ka ͑ ū.
