“The Beautiful Flag of Hawaii,
Let it forever wave.”

Why do we have the imperialist Cross of St George on our flag? Couldn’t we have Leahi instead, or a rainbow?

How did it come to be that a colonial power, the UK’s, cross is St George, has been accepted into the flag of an island nation abused by a colonial power?

Have you seen the Hawaiian Flag as it was flying over FORT KEKUANAHU (Fort of Honolulu) with the Union Flag of the United Kingdom as an ‘X’ not its normal ‘+’ as painted by Paul Emmert c.1853 ? The original painting is located on the wall in the Archive Office of the Mission House Museum on King Street, Honolulu, O’ahu, Hawai’i.
