Today is Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole Day, a public holiday in Hawai‘i. Prince Jonah Kuhio was born on 26 March 1871 into Hawaiian nobility. By the age of 13, he was an orphan as both parents had died by 1884. He was adopted by Queen Kapiʻolani, who was his aunt, making Kuhio a prince of the Kingdom of Hawai’i.
