*In March, Hawai`i celebrates the birthday of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole. Kūhiō Day is an official holiday in the state of Hawaiʻi. Prince Kuhio was heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, prince of the House of Kalākaua, and later territorial delegate to the United States Congress. Commemoration of Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole’s birthday was established in 1949 by the legislature of the Territory of Hawai`i. As a delegate, Kuhio authored the first Hawai`i Statehood bill in 1919. He also won passage of the Hawaiian Homes Act, creating the Hawaiian Homes Commission and setting aside 200,000 acres of land for Hawaiian homesteaders. Prince Kūhiō Day is one of only two holidays in the United States dedicated to royalty, the other being Hawaiʻi's King Kamehameha Day on June 11.
