October 14, 2010 | 10:16 AM Did you see that silver screen atrocity, Princess Ka'iulani? Throw all that sad misconception out the window for good, and immerse yourself in a community celebration of the princess's real story, among people who still—more than a century after her passing—rejoice in Ka'iulani's intellect, beauty and most importantly, her symbolism. As the last princess of the Kingdom of Hawaii, she represents not only the former glory of the Hawaiian monarchy and tragedy of the overthrow, but is a historic character worthy of aspiration. She was a compassionate Renaissance woman who triumphed in academia, athletics and art, and who took bold political action despite her tender age. of 23 when she died. To honor her 135th birthday, the Royal Order of Kamehameha is preparing a feast of, well, royal proportions, for attendees of the Lu'au O Ka'iulani to dine upon, augmented by the music of falsetto hero Richard Ho'opi'i. Ahead of a stage show depicting the life and times of Ka'iulani, a Hawaiian protocol ceremony with the Royal Order of Kamehameha, Hawaii Royal Order of Guards and the Royal Hawaiian Guard (following dinner), is sure to be as true to turn of the 20th century Hawaii as can be had in modern times. Other cultural treats include performances by Halau 'O Keaunui 'O Maui, Ehulani Kane, Wilmont Kamaunu Kahaiali'i and more. 264-6621; thekaiulaniproject.com
