The Great Seal of
Hawaii: |
|
|

|
|
|
 |
The seal of the state of Hawaii features a grand image of King
Kamehameha I, royally dressed and holding his staff, and a
classic rendition of Liberty, holding the Hawaiian flag, on
either side of a heraldic shield. A Phoenix rises up from native
foliage. The date 1959, representing Hawaii's statehood,
displays prominently. Wording on the seal reads "State of
Hawaii" across the top. On the bottom of the seal is a quote
attributed to King Kamehameha III, after a British admiral
attempted a takeover in 1843: "Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono",
translated as "The life of the land is perpetuated in
righteousness." |
