Kamehameha the Great is the monarch who first established the unified Kingdom of Hawaii, consisting of the Hawaiian Islands of Ni’ihau, Kaua’i, O’ahu, Moloka’i, Lana’i, Kaho’olawe, Maui and Hawai’i.

Kamehameha Day is June 11 and is a state holiday. On that day this statue gets draped with lei at a special ceremony. We were in Hawaii for Kamehameha Day, but by then we’d moved on to Kaua’i. Otherwise it would have been cool to come back here.
