Just a reminder to all those on Maoliworld. On PBS, Thursday, June 25 at 8:30pm, there will be a Special about Joseph Nawahi, National Hero for the Hawaiian Kingdom. Along with fellow loyalist, William Punohu'aweoweo'ulaokalani White, they drafted the revisions to the Constitution that was "poised" to be ratified on January 14, 1893, just days before the Queen's incarceration/imprisonment, and the subsequent illegal overthrow of our Hawaiian Kingdom.This great National Hero gave his life to the cause of Independence and never waivered in his support of our Queen, our Kingdom Constitution, and the Kanaka Maoli. His wife, Emma Nawahi along with other Loyalists like Kuaihelani Campbell, organized the famous Ku'e Petition that still stands to this day as the testiment of our people's steadfast opposition to the illegal occupation of the United States.We owe much to this brave, akamai, and loyal man of honor...Joseph Nawahi, who gave his life that his country and people may live and thrive.Donna
