2017 Year in Review In 2017, we grew through many changes in our board, our staff, our volunteers, and our programs. The constant guid- ing factor remained on our mission: “to perpetuate the memory and spirit of old Hawaiʻi and of historic facts, and to preserve the nomenclature and correct pronunciation of the Hawaiian language.” In doing so, our organization was blessed with a $400,000 grant in aid (to be received from the State) and over $250,000 in donations -- the majority were bequests from Regina Kawānanakoa and Ethel O'Neil.

With every passing year, we recognize our departed members, until we meet again, Aloha ‘Oe: Daughters Dorothea Hyde, Ethel O'Neil, Geraldine Shah, Heather Ho, Juliet Kesner, Leinani Keppeler Bortles, Mokihana Aluli Teves, Pamela Burns, Patricia Nottingham, Patricia Kennedy, & Tricia-Lani Au Calabash Cousins Ernest Heard, Irene Lee, LeBurta Atherton, Margo Morgan, Marty Sczesny, & Truman Odman Annual Newsletter 2018• page 2 Regent’s Update The year began under the leadership of Regent Kanani Kahana-Reid. For over 1 1/2 years, Kanani proved steadfast in her passion and commitment to our mission of historic and cultural preservation. She refocused energies to address education which is one of our stated purposes. Through her vision and tireless efforts, she led and implemented successful programs for our kūpuna (elders) with Kūpuna Day, for our keiki (children) with Ka Haku O Hawaiʻi Keiki Day (celebrating Prince Albert’s birthday) and Papa Kau- wela (Summer Program), and for members of all ages with ʻImi Naʻauao (Search for Wis- dom) Series. Since opening Hānaiakamalama - Queen Emma Summer Palace in January 1917 and Hulihe‘e Palace at Kailua-Kona in June 1928, the Daughters have held exhibits designed to increase public awareness of the culture and history of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Under Kanani’s tenure, lauhala (leaves of the pandanus tree) weaving in its many forms was featured at Hānaiakamalama while Hulihe‘e Palace featured the detailed maps of Henry E.P. Kekahuna, a gifted and prolific surveyor and researcher who worked for the Bishop Museum in the 1950’s. These exhibits and our many programs kept our volunteer docents and staff busy throughout the year as we had over 30,000 visitors, a slight increase over last year’s total. With Kanani’s res- ignation on July 7th, Bonnie Rice assumed the role as our Regent. Working closely with Kanoe Renaud, our Operations Manager’s since her arrival in March 2017, this dynamic duo has worked tirelessly to streamline operations, to ensure we are compliant with Fed- eral and State laws, labor disputes and employment laws, to adopt business best practices, to update written policies and procedures, to overhaul our operational infrastructure (internet connectivity, security systems, and insurance coverages), and finally, to institute and formalize training not only for our employees but our board of directors as well. In Ju- ly, staff and board members completed Harassment, Discrimination, and Workplace Violence Pre- vention Training. In August, select staff and board members attended (1) a free seminar hosted by Historic Hawai'i Foundation & National Park Service which provided training on tools and techniques available to save historic places and (2) the Hawai‘i’s Community Foundation’s Advancing Nonprofit Excellence Conference. Then, Daughters of Hawai‘i was featured on ʻŌlelo with Lyla Berg. In Octo- ber, we began work to transition health insurance benefits to ProService as their rates are compara- ble and they are providing our Human Resources services and support. In November, we approved an updated Employee Handbook and a balanced budget, and in December, we designed a compre- hensive calendar of all events impacting the Daughters of Hawai‘i, Hulihe‘e Palace, and Queen Em- ma Summer Palace. In January, we began preparation for our taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, with our auditor C.W. Associates and Shintaro Kanazawa, AATS LLC, who provides our accounting services. We also just submitted a 2018-2019 Grant in Aid application thanks to the de- termined efforts of Lauren Avery. At the close of 2017, the Daughters of Hawai‘i had a net income of $72,739.28; a full financial report will be disclosed at the Annual Meeting on February 21st, 2018. Currently, our organization has 904 active members: 729 Daughters (433 Lifetime Members) and 175 Calabash Cousins (61 Lifetime Members), and we welcome 31 Daughters and 38 Calabash Cousins. May we continue to hold dear our motto: "The Wing of Friendship never molts a feather."

Below is her annual report recapping her efforts: Huaka‘i to Maunalua. Last July, we met in Maunalua to visit and learn about Kānewai Spring and Kalauha‘iha‘i Fishpond, hosted by DOH members Laura Lucas Thompson and Kaui Lucas who are involved with preservation efforts. This timely visit occurred just weeks before the old home at Kalauha‘iha‘i was demolished. Mahalo to Maunalua Fish- pond Heritage Center for this partnership. I Ola no Emmalani. Acknowledging the importance of health and well-being to Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV, most of 2017 was a series collaborated with Papa Ola Lōkahi as it resonated with both of our missions. The series were presentations that featured Hawaiian traditions, beliefs and practices across the life cycle. -July 6: Hāpai & Hānau, Traditions of Pregnancy and Birth with Cami Kanoa-Wong & Puni Jackson. -Aug 24: ‘Ai Pono – Traditional Hawaiian Diets with Claire Ku‘uleilani Hughes -Sep 8: ‘Ike Kūpuna – Raising Hawaiian Families with pediatrician Carol Hi‘ilani Titcomb -Oct 5: Hawaiian Perspectives on Aging & Dementia with Lana-Sue Ka‘opua, Leilani Kahoano & Luisa Wyant -Nov 30: ‘Ohana Includes our Ancestors with Hinano Rodrigues, Regina Hilo and Ikaika Nakahashi. -Feb 1: Genealogy of Punishment with Rae-Deen M. Keahiolalo Welo Ana ē ka Hae Hawai‘i. With the historic raising of Ka Hae Hawai‘i (the Hawaiian Flag) at ‘Iolani Palace on January, 17th, 2018, it was timely to share its history with our members and the community. On January 25, Lāiana Kanoa-Wong shared his research to a packed Emmalani Hale and Dr. Baron Kahoola Ching provided a special flag display. Future Program: Battle of Nu‘uanu by ‘Ōlohe Jerry Walker, author of Kamehameha’s Children To- day. He will present new information about the Battle of Nu‘uanu. Mahalo to all who attended our programs this past year, and to DOH staff and volunteers who con- tributed to each program’s success. A special mahalo nui to Geri Kahale, Bernie Kalama, and ‘Ulu Black who provided the refreshments for most of the programs. If have an interest in a topic or an idea for a field trip or access to a location for a Junior Social for our members and their families, please send your ideas to [email protected].

Second Vice Regent Ululani Zuttermeister-Black joined the Daughter of Hawai‘i last year and immediately impacted our organization as the Ways and Means Chair. As- sisted by Calabash Cousin Liaison Inger “Kanoe” Hojfeldt, she organized eight fun-filled fundraisers at Hānaiakamalama - Queen Emma Summer Palace including Easter Tea, Mother’s Day Brunch, two Pā‘ina Ahiahi ma Nu‘uanu (Kanikapila), A Day at Queen Em- ma Summer Palace (DAQE), Christmas Tea, and two Christmas Nights. Together with her army of dedicated volunteers, they raised $43,351.19. A grateful mahalo is extended to all her volunteers: Aileen Ogimachi, Aimoku Chee, Angie Clifton, Anna Acebo, Auntie Lei, Auntie Sis, Barbara Martin, Barbara Vlachos, Becky Inouye, Berna Fo, Bernie Kalama, Beverly Lee, Bill Vinton, Bonnie Judd, Bonnie Rice, C.

Third Vice Regent Suzie Petersen passionately cared for the Hānaiakamalama - Queen Emma Summer Palace, where we foster the legacies of King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma. Starting the year with a bang, the palace was recognized by the Wedding Spot as a top wedding venue in the U.S. win- ning “Best in Class” venues. Throughout the year, the palace was a venue for the public to host special events (weddings, graduations, and memorials) and for our members for traditional teas as well as cultural classes (ʻukulele, quilting, chorale singing, and hula), book clubs, fitness classes (hatha yoga) and education programs. Continuous restoration efforts included the handicap restroom wood rot and plumbing, the caretaker’s cottage wood rot, 2 sets of the sliding doors and the roof on the Emmalani Hale, the stage curtains, the kitchen door knob, the gift shop door hinges, and the doors inside the palace as well as the top surface of 2 display cases. In May, the State Legislature approved $400,000 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Grant in Aid (GIA) for the restoration of the Edinburgh Room. Although writing, submitting, and re- ceiving the approval was challenging, synchronizing the many state agencies in order to commence this restoration project is proving more arduous. With the recent reassignment of the CIP GIA to the State Parks Division of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, we are hopeful to schedule our restoration project before a Day at Queen Emma Summer Palace. We continued our partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, who returned in July to wipe all the railings along Prince Albert Terrace as well as the Emmalani Hale windows, and with Aloha Arborist Association, who cleaned up the vines and scrub trees at the base of our driveway. In September, Aloha Arbor Care ad- dressed the overgrowth at the entrance of the driveway while Sherwood’s Tree Service cleaned around the ‘auwai (irrigation ditch) removing dead branches from our Camphor tree and a tremen- dous amount of debris from the other trees, the hillsides, and the water. Also, 17 amazing volunteers from Job Corps arrived to weed the property, to clean around the Areca Palms, and to help discard the rubbish that was dumped on the property. Lastly, after careful review of 3 certified arbor- ists’ reports, DLNR approved the removal of the ficus tree due to its extensive decay. We will work on a grant to remove it and repair the driveway as it’s very costly. We are thankful for all our volunteers who strive to keep Hānaiakamalama—Queen Emma Summer Palace a top visitor site on O‘ahu: Tyra Alohalani, Ashley Bach, Kylie Bach, Dale Bachman, Kimberlyn Beppu, Susan Chong, Donna Craven, Nikki Doo, Gina Erdmann, Berna Fo, James Green, Nicole Hirao, Rose Hughes, Hana Ishii, Ivan Kaisan, Haylie Lopez, Naomi Losch, Barbara Makua, Harumi Miyake, Gaye Miyasa- ki, Shelley Monsarrat, Olivia, Jordan Namba, Karissa Racoma, Arianna Radonna, Momoa Rein- hardt, June Renaud, Pīkake Renaud-Cashman, Cathy Werner, Tad Wilbur.

Annual Newsletter 2018• page 5 Fourth Vice Regent Peahi Spencer continued our over 40- year tradition of providing free public concerts designed to re- vive the concerts once held of King Kalākaua. The first “Afternoon at Huliheʻe Palace” concert began on Kamehameha Day, June 11th, 1976. For nearly 30 years, these concerts have featured Hālau Hula Nā Pua Uʻi o Hawaiʻi under the direction of Ku- mu Hula Etua Lopes. Today, these concerts are held from 4 to 5pm on the third Sunday of each month (June is held on second Sun- day) and honor one of Hawai‘i’s monarchs or historical figures. Another time-honored tradition Peahi oversaw was the 104th anniversary of the Daughters of Hawai‘i celebrating the birth of Kauikeaouli, who ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom as King Kamehameha III. Immediately following this celebration, Peahi and her team of volunteers held the annual fundraiser Day at Hulihe‘e Palace which honors Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole. In June, Daughters and Calabash Cousins participate in force in the King Kamehameha Day Parade and the ho‘olaule‘a (celebration) on the ground of the Palace following the parade. All this Peahi accomplished while continuing her efforts to move forward with the restorations at Hulihe‘e Palace. Her extensive coordination with two Department of Land and Natural Resources Divisions (Division of State Parks and State Historic Preservation Divi- sion) resulted in a 2-week exploratory dig mid-July in order to prepare for restoration work at Huli- heʻe which will include palace integrity, seawall, Kīʻope pond, ADA improvements, and leveling and grading of grounds. Restorations to Hulihe‘e Palace will commence in late Summer 2018 and may impact scheduling. If there is a disruption to the schedule, we will inform members through the Hulihe‘e Palace Facebook and Daughters of Ha- wai‘i webpages as well as local media. After Peahi resigned on July 9th, Faye Daniel assumed the role as 4th Vice Re- gent. Being the granddaughter of Wilhel- mina Kanaina Kamaileilanikehukaiopuna Rose Weight, she has a vested interest in the success of the Daughters of Hawai‘i and Hulihe‘e Palace with its monthly tea named in her grandmother’s honor. This tea is a fundraiser which pays the palace admission for school-aged children. It is named in honor of Wil- helmina Kanaina Kamaileilanikehukaiopuna Rose Weight who was born in 1890 in Pāpa‘ikou on Hawai‘i Island. A graduate of the Kamehameha School for Girls in 1908, Wilhemina was the first female pā‘ū rider (equestrian adorned in uniquely Hawaiian attire and lei) to represent the Territory of Hawai‘i in the Los Angeles Floral Parade, now known as the Rose Parade. The monies raised in the 2017 teas were used to pay the admissions of 3,647 keiki with the remaining funds used for educational grants. Faye oversaw two Christmas Nights at Hulihe‘e Palace and started a new tradition of a holiday craft fair in conjunction with the craft fair at Mokuaikaua Church, located directly across from the Palace on Ali‘i Drive. Many volunteers are re- sponsible for the success of Hulihe‘e Palace including: Charlot Bryant, Diana Butler, Tess Cayou, Helen Dorosh, Sophie Greeno, Sharyn Holliday, Michaela Ikeuchi, Donna Lanza, Marlene Leike, Aiden Murray, Kathy Rement, Peter Sanderson, Cathy Sinclair, Nadine Woods. Those serving on the palace committee deserve a special mahalo: Barbara Nobriga, Barbara Anderson, Fanny Au Hoy, Geri Eckert, Edna Hind, Eleanor Hind Smith, Sally Inkster, Lale Kam, Bettina Linke, Nadine Olinger, Cynthia Salley, Elianne Vannatta.

Fifth Vice Regent Pammy Smith-Chock submits the following as her recap of ac- tivities and events for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau members from 2017: We started the New Year with a post-holiday dinner and a movie Hula Girls at the Kaua‘i Museum. Art Umezu from the County of Kaua‘i stopped by to share his ma- na‘o (thoughts and insights) of the featured movie. In February, the “Book Club at the Museum” reviewed “Murder with Aloha at the Coco Palms.” Originally sched- uled for March, the author David Scott advanced his visit to the delight of the over 60 participants whose many questions extended the 45 book review to 90 minutes. In March, Hula Instructor Puni Patrick took the DOH hula class and her kūpuna class from Waimea to the 2017 “E Kanikapila Kākou”, where we performed 3 oli along with her mele (songs) “Eia Kō Iliau” and “Ka Lei Kahelelani o Emma.” Daughter Hi‘ipoi Kana- hele and Chucky Boy Chock sang both mele, and Puni shared her aloha for Queen Emma and how these songs were written to honor little Prince Albert as well. We also had a table with information on the Daughters of Hawai‘i. At the end of the month, we again celebrated the birth of Prince Kūhiō at his birthplace “Ho‘ai” in Kōloa Kaua‘i. This year, our presentation was entirely in ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language) with pule (prayer) by Daughter Hi‘ipoi Kanahele and a mele written by her Tūtū Anne Kanahele of Ni‘ihau. Former Regent Julie Watson also attended the celebration, and Daugh- ters Leihi‘ilani Kirkpatrick and Puni Kawaiho‘onani Patrick presented two oli. In July, 19 members along with some spouses and friends completed a huaka‘i (field trip) to Lāwa‘i Kai on the South Shore of Kaua‘i. We offered 3 oli (Oli Aloha, Oli for Queen Emma, and Ke Lei Maila) and makana. Then under the shade of the niu (coconut trees) near the steps of Mauna Kilohana, the former home of Queen Emma, we learned a detailed history of the area by historian Mike DeMotta. Lunch was provided for everyone including NTBG staff. Mahalo piha to Hau‘oli Wichman and the staff at Nation- al Tropical Botanical Garden. In September, Kaua‘i Daughters helped to make A Day at Queen Em- ma Palace even more special with fresh Kūlolo donations flown in on Hawaiian Car- go. In October, members traveled to Kanaloahuluhulu Meadow to participate in the Eō e ‘Emalani Festival in Kōke‘e. In ad- dition to 3 oli, members presented a hula with riding crop to the mele “U‘ilani” written by Puni and Chucky Boy. The mele was written for Queen Emma’s nickname for her beloved husband King Kamehameha IV. In November, we joined the royal societies at the All Saints Episcopal Church Ali‘i Sunday Service in honor of Queen Emma, King Kamehameha IV and their son Prince Albert. Daughter Leihi‘ilani also shared the opening oli for this special service. Our staff member Joseph who cares for the grounds at the Queen Emma Summer Palace helped to share two cuttings from the Queen’s Garden that All Saints will plant in their garden in her honor. The second cutting was shared with future Daughter Lee Anne Hoshino who was cho- sen to portray Queen Emma the 2017 Ē ō e Emalani Festival. Closing this year, we held a holiday brunch to mahalo members and invite prospective members. We honored Puni for her volun- teerism in teaching our weekly hula class over the past 4 years. Then Daughter Jane Gray sang “Christmas in Hawai‘i” and was joined by our members in hula. Hi‘ipoi Kanahele, her sister Hiwa, and Tommy T also dropped in to perform. Through Roni Taniguchi Fu’s generosity of roses, china, and tea sets, our event was truly special. Adding to the festivities, clothing designer Dondi Ho and the Kanahele ‘Ohana provided a special “pop-up shop. Donated door prizes included hotel stays, dinners, brunches, beautiful gifts from local merchants. Mahalo to Lauren Avery and Conne Suther- land who donated door prizes for our attendees. We look forward to 2018, and our new Hawaiian language class.

Ali‘i Sunday The Daughters of Hawai‘i originated the observance of ali’i birthdays at Kawaiaha‘o Church in 1914 with King Kamehameha III’s birthday. In 1922, observances for ali‘i birthday were extended to the chapel at Mauna ‘Ala (Royal Mausoleum) in Nu‘uanu. More recently, the birthdays and confirmation/ baptism of ali‘i who were members of the Cathedral of St. Andrew were added. All members are welcomed to attend these events, but are asked to dress in Regalia consisting of white mu’umu’u (with sleeves), white shoes, and lei hulu melemele (yellow feather lei) for Daughters or kukui nut lei for Calabash Cousins. Hats/purses are optional, but if worn are white or woven from local fibers.

King Kamehameha IV February 9, 1834 - November 30, 1863 Please join the Daughters of Hawaiʻi on Friday, Febru- ary 9, 2018, from 9am-4pm at Hānaiakamalama - Queen Emma Summer Palace to observe the 184th anniversary of the birth of Alexander ʻIolani Liholiho, a grandson of Kamehameha the Great and the fourth monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Alexander Liholiho, was educated by American mis- sionaries at Chief’s Childrens School and then toured both Europe and America before ascending to the throne as King Kamehameha IV on January 11, 1855. As king, he sought to reduce the influence of the United States in Hawai‘i and to build a stronger relationship with Great Britain. He was an extremely popular ruler and won great public support in 1860 with the construction of Queen’s hospital, where Hawaiians received free medical care. Guided tours at 10am, 11am, 1pm, and 2pm, will share the history of the palace, the royal family, and their legacies: Queen’s Medical Center, the Cathedral of St. An- drew, St. Andrew’s Priory, and ‘Iolani School. Among the many treasures in the palace, visitors will view the Book of Common Prayer that King Kamehameha IV translated into Hawaiian as well as the ʻahuʻula Portrait of King Kamehameha IV painted by William Cogswell (feather cloak) that is believed to have been gifted to Mr. Picture Gallery, Hawaiian Hall, Bishop Museum Beresford Hope of England by King Kamehameha IV.
