The Life and Times of Queen Liliuokalani

In this blog, I want to share with you information I am learning about the last of the Hawaiian royalty, Queen Liliuokalani. Her story is one of tragedy and injustice. She ruled for only two years before she was deposed by a diplomat of the United States, and some local white farmers. Her only crime was that she didn't believe Hawaii should be annexed to the U.S. She believed that the Hawaiian people should be allowed to preserve their rich culture. Is that enough to whet your appetite for more of the intrigue involve? I hope you'll come here often to find more details of her life story.
