Pointedly positioned between the state capitol building and ʻIolani Palace is a life-size bronze statue of Queen Liliʻuokalani, Hawaii’s last reigning monarch. She holds a copy of the Hawaiian constitution she wrote in 1893 in an attempt to strengthen Hawaiian rule; ‘Aloha ʻOe,’ a popular song she composed; and ‘Kumulipo,’ the traditional Hawaiian chant of creation.
