Summary: |
"For five days in January, 1993, thousands of kanaka maoli, Native Hawaiians, traveled from throughout the Hawaiian islands to gather at 'Iolani Palace for one of the most extraordinary events to have taken place in modern Hawaii history. Although they came from all walks of life and backgrounds, the descendants of the ancient civilization that once thrived in these Pacific islands united to express their love for the memory of their Queen Lili'uokalani, to mourn the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom on January 17, 1893 and to call out to the world that the right of self-determination must be restored to their sovereign nation. After 100 years of dishonor, neglect, and shame, the Hawaiian people were renewed in their efforts to seek justice for historic wrongs. 'Onipa'a chronicles this moving event in the life of the Native Hawaiian community. Through pictures and words, 'Onipaa attempts to convey the emotion, grief, hope and spiritual renewal that were experienced by over 20, 000 people who joined in the 'Iolani Palace ceremonies and activities...In the words and drama which were conveyed through the many ceremonies, vigils and theatrical re-creations of history, one understands the unresolved pain of past injustices and the vision for reconciliation and retribution for a healed Hawaiian nation..... the book captures the spirit of the centennial events for those who did not have the opportunity to be at 'Iolani Palace between January 13-17, 1993...."
