Title
The Hawaiian Flag: Its Native Symbolism and Colors
Abstract
2016 marked the 200th anniversary of the Hawaiian flag, called Ka Hae Hawaiʻi in the Hawaiian language. The flag was first commissioned by King Kamehameha the Great, who ruled the independent kingdom of Hawaiʻi from 1795–1819. As will be seen, the flag served not only a political purpose but also played a role in the traditional religious and ethical observances of the Hawaiian people.
