I'm lucky enough to listen in on lessons
about Hawaiian history that are being taught to the children
of this state.
I think one of my favorites is Prince Jonah Kuhio
He wanted to do what was right for the Hawaiian people, the Hawaiian Homestead Act.
He lead the way to bring Hawaii into the "modern age".
He brought about the county system, which we still use today.
He's the only person to have served in Congress of royal heritage.
Here in Hawaii we take our holidays pretty seriously, not just day
off, or a parade or two, but as a day to observe what has made Hawaii
what it is today.
