hawaiians mark key date in 1843:

hawaiian sovereignty activists commemorated the 1843 restoration of the kingdom of hawaii by british authorities with a brief noontime flag-raising ceremony at thomas square yesterday. as rain showers chased sunlight around the park, some 150 people joined hands in a circle and sang "hawaii ponoi" at 12:30 p.m. as a u.s. flag was replaced with a hawaiian flag. the event was called ka la hoihoi ea, or hawaiian sovereignty restoration day. the park is named for british adm. richard thomas, who ordered the union jack replaced by the hawaiian flag on july 31, 1843, after an unauthorized five-month british occupation.
