Each year Kōlea fly thousands of miles nonstop from Alaska and return to the same spot in the Islands, whether a condominium courtyard, a busy beach park, or a strip of grass in downtown Honolulu. As a result, many Hawai`i residents get to know individual birds, calling them \"my Kōlea.\" In turn, urban plovers often grow tame around people, an endearing trait uncommon in other birds.

Published here for the first time, the Queen's diaries, which she penned between 1885 and 1900, reveal her experience as heir apparent and monarch of the  Hawaiian Islands during one of the most intense, complicated, and politically charged eras in Hawaiian history. The practice of keeping journals and diaries was well established among the Hawaiian alii, or chiefs, when Lydia Kapaakea Paki, later  known as Liliuokalani, was a child. In most cases, however, only fragments of alii diaries have survived. Those of Queen Liliuokalani are  the sole—and striking—exception. The Liliuokalani diaries for 1887, 1888, 1889 (short version),  1893, and 1894 are a part of the group of documents known as the \"seized  papers\" that are now held by the Hawaii State Archives. These are among the records seized by order of Republic of Hawaii officials in 1895  with the intent of obtaining evidence that she had prior knowledge of  the 1895 counterrevolution. The government eventually turned these  documents over to the territorial archives in 1921, four years after the  death of the Queen. Four of the diaries transcribed here were not  seized and remained in the Queen's possession; today these are in the  Bishop Museum.

Beginning with an overview of Kalākaua’s literary genealogy of misrepresentation, Tiffany Lani Ing surveys the negative, even slanderous, portraits of him that have been inherited from his enemies, who first sought to curtail his authority as mō‘ī through such acts as the 1887 Bayonet Constitution and who later tried to justify their parts in overthrowing the Hawaiian kingdom in 1893 and annexing it to the United States in 1898. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA close study of contemporary international and American newspaper accounts and other narratives about Kalākaua, many highly favorable, results in a more nuanced and wide-ranging characterization of the mō‘ī as a public figure.
