Hawai'i's Rich History Comes Alive at Iolani Palace
Honolulu Advertiser:
... Upstairs at the palace, in the room where Queen Lili'uokalani was imprisoned after her overthrow in 1893, a small birdcage sits on a dresser. The queen, who loved birds and had a small aviary built on palace grounds facing what is now the State Capitol, was confined for eight months and had with her two canaries for company. The story is both poignant and cheering. A queen who loved music at least had with her birds that sang.
"This is our mission ... to educate through stories," said Fellezs. "Not just the harsh, cold facts. Hawai'i's history is often presented as angry, but it's also beautiful, solemn and a sad one. But it's important to remember that those events were of that time. We're at a different point in our history now."
Fellezs, who goes by her Hawaiian middle name, identifies herself as a storyteller (a mo'olelo is a story) and takes groups on walking tours in the Capitol District that link downtown museums and buildings with the people who lived there. These are in half-day journeys through Hawai'i's history. The focus is the not-so-well-known, the humorous, heartwarming and tragic stories about the people and events that took place in this extraordinary square mile of Honolulu.
