RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT jULY 31 OF EVERY YEAR BE RECOGNIZED AND PROCLAIMED AS LA HOIHOI EA. .

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution requests that July 31st of every year be officially recognized and proclaimed as "La Hoihoi Ea," which translates to Restoration Day, to commemorate the restoration of independence to the Hawaiian Kingdom on that date in 1843. This event marked the end of a five-month unauthorized military occupation by a British naval captain, and the subsequent return of sovereignty was celebrated by King Kamehameha III, who established the holiday and proclaimed the motto "Ua Mau ke ea o ka ?aina i ka pono," meaning the life and sovereignty of the land are perpetuated through justice. The resolution, passed by the Hawaii State Legislature, aims to honor and cherish this significant historical and cultural day for Hawaii.
