Iolani Palace is the lasting remembrance of the Kingdom of Hawaii. This 19th c. historical site was the first palace in the world to have been fashioned with electrical lights, a telephone, flushing toilets, and all materials not obtainable in the islands at the time were shipped across the Pacific Ocean. The story behind this physical structure representing a lost kingdom that was usurped by a handful of American businessmen, is as poignant and as tragic as that of the Native American Indian.
