Introduction
The Kamehameha the Great Statue stands in Kapa'au on the Big Island's Kohala Coast, honoring Kamehameha I, who united the Hawaiian Islands. Erected in 1883, the figure grips a spear under a golden cape — the first of several Kamehameha statues across the islands; on Kamehameha Day (June 11) it is draped in flower leis.
