July 31 2010 marks the 167th anniversary of the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This was the joyous event that ended the six month occupation of the Kingdom of Hawai`i by Great Britain. Admiral Richard Thomas properly reversed the unjust and illegal invasion by the Right Honorable Lord George Paulet, Captain, Royal Navy from February 15 1843 until July 31 1843. Hawai`i celebrated a week long party.La Ho`iho`i Ea was one of Hawai`i's major holidays and was observed until 1893 when it was banned by the Provisional Government. We restore this happy day and invite all to come celebrate with us as the kupuna did that day 167 years ago at the same place where it occured, Thomas Square.http://808urban.org John Prime - facebook
