Wishing you all a very happy 2014. This calendar is fashioned after the one given by the newspaper Aloha Aina in 1906 to its readers. It features a picture of the typesetters and the paperboys of the newspaper taken on December 30, 1905. Please feel free to save it onto your desktop and print it out and put it up on your wall or give it away to someone who you think will appreciate it!

I hope that with next year will come more exciting stories from the past which will encourage people to at least consider why the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers are important to us today and tomorrow. Perhaps it will encourage the individuals, agencies, and organizations who can benefit from the knowledge that the many, many kupuna thought important enough to entrust to the safekeeping of the pages of the Newspapers, to think about funding the rescanning as well as the conservation of the Newspapers, so that the information contained in them can be easily accessed by those of today and the generations to come…

Queen Kapiolani.

Yesterday, December 31, was the birthday of the Alii, Queen Kapiolani, the royal daughter of Kuhio (m) and Kinoiki (f), and this made her forty-first year, for she was born on this day in the year 1834. Yesterday at 12 noon, she saw in Iolani Palace all those who came to see her and to give her joy on this proud day of a person’s life, and the cannons were shot off in salute for her birthday. Just as with the happiness and the congratulations of those who went to see her, so too are we who are outside, with prayers for blessings from the heavens that her life may be extended until extreme old age.

Here is the genealogy of birth of Queen Kapiolani:

Keawe dwelt with Lonomaikanaka; Kauhiokeka (f) dwelt with Keawe (m); Kekaulike (f) dwelt with Kepoomahoe (m); Kalanikauleleiaiwi 3 [?] (f) dwelt with Kanekoa (m); Pomaikaulani (f) dwelt with Elelule (m); Kuhio (m) dwelt with Kinoiki (f); born was Kapiolani (f), Kapooloku (f), and Kekaulike (f).

Long live the Queen, Kapiolani.

[Here is another article probably submitted by Robert William Wilcox (Wilikoki) dealing with Queen Kapiolani’s genealogy. Kuokoa, 7/21/1899, p. 2. “KA MOOKUAUHAU ALII O KA MOIWAHINE KAPIOLANI.”]
