Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole was born March 26th on the island of Kauaʻi in 1871. He was named after his grandfather, Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole (High Chief of Hilo), and his paternal grandfather Jonah Piʻikoi (High Chief of Kauaʻi). His father died in 1878 and his mother died in 1884 leaving him an orphan at the age of 13. He was adopted by Queen Kapiʻolani, his motherʻs sister and wife of King David Kalākaua. Brought up in the court of the king, he was made a prince when he was 13 by a royal proclamation.
Kūhiō attended Royal School, ‘Iolani, Punahou, Saint Matthew’s School in California and Royal Agricultural College in England.
Prince Kūhiō was an accomplished athlete and excelled at football, rowing, yachting, polo, marksmanship, golf, and of course surfing. In letters he wrote from Britain, Prince Kūhiō also talked about surfing in the North Sea and introducing the sport to several UK locals.
He remained a prince of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi until it was overthrown in 1893. Kūhiō and his brother joined other native Hawaiians in an unsuccessful attempt to restore the monarchy. As a result, Prince Kūhiō was sentenced to a year in prison while others were executed for treason against the republic. After his sentence, Kūhiō left Hawaiʻi for South Africa, vowing never to return to a place that no longer welcomed Hawaiians.
During his time away from Hawaiʻi, he joined the British Army to fight the Boer War and then eventually returned back to the Islands.
Once he arrived, Hawaiʻi had already been appropriated as a territory of the United States. Although he may have once been King, Kūhiō was instead elected as Hawaiʻi’s congressional delegate for 10 consecutive terms, and as such is the only member of Congress ever born into royalty, from 1903 until his death in 1922.
Kūhiō is well-known for his efforts to preserve and strengthen the Hawaiian people and he spearheaded the effort in the passage of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, which provides lands for native Hawaiians to homestead. Prince Kūhiō was also known for restoring the Royal Order of Kamehameha I and for founding the Hawaiian Civic Club.
Kūhiō’s body was laid to rest next to the rest of his family in Oʻahu at the Royal Mausoleum, in Nuʻuanu on Oʻahu.
