Ka La Hanau o Lili`uokalani

All said and done, one of the most touching moments of the celebration was when the children offered leis to the tutu present.

The kupuna amongst the public added a lot of color to the celebration wearing traditional mu`umu`u and straw-hats ornamented with tropical flowers.

A special guest was delighted to be part of the celebration. “It’s always wonderful to come to Molokai,” said the chairman of the Queen Lili`uokalani Trust, Judge Tom Ka`ulukukui. “The people are wonderful; this place is historic.”
