Anahola was the first Hawaiian Homes program on Kauai created by Prince Jonah Kuhio in an effort to rehabilitate and put Hawaiians back onto the land to become successful homesteaders.
The community, created with a “checkerboard of people,” including Hawaiian Homes homesteaders, gathered Saturday for a day-long ho‘olaule‘a to remember Kuhio, who was also born on Kauai and advanced to become known as “the People’s Prince” for his work benefiting the Hawaiian people.
Ka Hale Pono, the lead organizing agency for the celebration, honored the late Hosea Kaina Lovell, known as “The Prince of Anahola,” for having traits similar to those of Kuhio.
Other Kuhio celebrations take place Friday at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa, with the protocol starting at 9 a.m. with its accompanying day of cultural demonstrations and entertainment.
The Royal Order of Kamehameha, Chapter No. 3 Kaumuali‘i, hosts its annual protocol Saturday starting at 10 a.m. at Prince Kuhio Park, a site located close to Kuhio’s birthplace in Poipu.
