Queen Lili'uokalani, Last Sovereign of Hawaii


Listen Later

Welcome back! 

In celebration of Asian and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month, I will be covering stories on Asian and Pacific Islander women for the remainder of May (as well as in future months too of course!)

Which is why tonight’s story is going to transport us back to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1800s. Before it became America’s 50th state and a massive tourist destination. We're going back to when Hawaii was its own sovereign nation ruled by a monarchy.  Tonight our sleep story is on the last sovereign monarch of Hawaii, Queen Lili'uokalani.
