Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono is a well-known Hawaiian phrase which was adopted as the motto of the state of Hawaii. It is commonly translated as "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness". This phrase was first spoken by Kamehameha III on July 31, 1843 at Thomas Square, Oʻahu, when the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii was returned by the British through the restorative actions of Admiral Richard Darton Thomas, following a brief takeover by Lord George Paulet. Today, the phrase is extensively used by both the state of Hawaii and by Hawaiian sovereignty activists fighting the state. ****************Sizes: approximately 7" x 11" Front: paint & sealed Back: sanded and left natural, we add a sawtooth hanger on the back All our signs are hand-selected, handcrafted - sanded, painted and sealed.
