Ka Sila Hawai‘i - The Hawaiian Coat of Arms
The coat of arms, a.k.a. the royal crest, is one of our treasured national symbols. Its story is tied to Hawaiian Kingdom independence, which was achieved by Timoteo Ha‘alilio, William Richards and George Simpson in London on November 28, 1843, now known as Lā Kū‘oko‘a (Independence Day). The group had been sent by King Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III, to America and Europe to seek this recognition, a journey that took more than two years. While in London in 1842, Ha‘alilio went to The College of Arms and commissioned this coat of arms. It bears the images of Kamanawa and Kame‘eiamoku (twin chiefs who were uncles and advisors of Kamehameha I) in feather capes, holding a spear and a feather standard, respectively. The eight stripes represent the eight inhabited islands. The pūlo‘ulo‘u (opposite the stripes), puela (an old type of flag) and ālia (two crossed sticks made of kauila or māmane wood) are all chiefly symbols. At the bottom of the original (not this version) is the famous saying: Ua mau ke ea o ka ‘āina i ka pono - The sovereignty of the land endures through righteousness. Ua sila ‘ia ke aloha ‘āina - Love of country is permanently fixed in us.
