History: A Tribute to Queen Lili'uokalani of Hawai'i - Kanaka Waiwai music

Thanks to hokulani78 YouTube account

Queen Lili'uokalani (1838 to 1917) was a prolific composer, the first female Native Hawaiian author, and the founded the Queen Lili'uokalani Children's Trust for orphans and indigent children--which still exists today. She is best remembered for her composition, "Aloha 'Oe". In 1891, upon the death of her brother King Kalakaua, she became queen of Hawai'i. In 1893, she was deposed by US naval forces and two years later imprisoned in her palace. Until her death in 1917, she continued to fight for the rights of her people and her country, in her words, "....The cause of Hawaiian independence is larger than any one man connected to it".
The song in the background is Kanaka Waiwai, a church hymn that the Queen had especially liked.
