Lā Kūʻokoʻa, first celebrated on November 28, 1843, marks the formal recognition of the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom by England and France through the signing of the Anglo-French Proclamation, with verbal acknowledgment from the United States. This historic achievement was the result of the diplomatic efforts of three emissaries appointed by Kauikeaouli, King Kamehameha III: Timoteo Haʻalilio, Reverend William Richards and Sir George Simpson. We gather to commemorate their triumphant mission and the enduring vision of an independent Hawaiʻi.
