Are You Planning a Barbeque???


Happy Fourth of July!!

I'm taking a little break from The ABC's of The HIDC as we look forward to celebrating our nation’s independence on July 4 with parades, festivals, picnics, family fun, barbeques, and—of course—fireworks!

The same kind of celebration happens in Hawaii. In 1959 Hawaii became the 50th state in our union and all America celebrates this holiday.

But what about Hawaii’s Independence Day? It’s called La Ku’oko’a and is an observance of November 28, 1843 when a treaty was signed by France and Great Britain, recognizing Hawaii as a sovereign nation. During this time they also came to an agreement with the United States.

King Kamehameha III sent several delegates on this mission. Sir George Simpson traveled to England while Mr. Timoteo Ha’alilio and Mr. William Richards traveled to the United States.

Enjoy your July Fourth celebrations and if you’d like to read more on the history of La Ku’oko’a, please check out this site:


Happy Independence Day!!

 Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!
