Daughter of Hawai‘i
Membership Application
The Daughters of Hawai‘i was founded in 1903 by seven progressive women ahead of their time. Born in Hawai‘i, they were citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom before annexation, and foresaw the inevitable loss of much of the Hawaiian culture. They were one of the first organizations in Hawai‘i to recognize the importance of historic preservation. Since the early 1900s the Daughters have been distinguished for preserving Hānaiakamalama in Nu‘uanu, commonly known as the Queen Emma Summer Palace, and Hulihe‘e Palace in Kailua-Kona, restoring them with original royal furnishings and regalia. The Daughters continue to preserve and maintain two of Hawai‘i's three royal palaces, as well as the birth site of King Kamehameha III at Keauhou Bay in Kailua-Kona.
A person is eligible for membership if she is descended from an ancestor who was a resident of Hawai‘i prior to the year 1880.
