Princess Kaiulani: The Last Hawaiian Heir | Island Music & Hawaiian History | The Little Grass Shack – KUNV 91.5

On this episode of The Little Grass Shack on KUNV 91.5 Jazz & More, host Island Emery shares the powerful story of Princess Kaiulani, the last heir to the Hawaiian throne. Through music, history, and the spirit of aloha, we explore the life of the beloved Hawaiian princess who stood with dignity and courage during the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Born in Honolulu in 1875, Kaiulani grew up between two worlds—Hawaiian royalty and Western influence. Sent to England for education at just 13 years old, she later traveled to the United States to advocate for the rights of the Hawaiian people after the monarchy was overthrown. Her grace, diplomacy, and unwavering love for Hawaii made her a lasting symbol of Hawaiian identity and resilience. 

Alongside this inspiring story, enjoy a rich soundtrack of Hawaiian, reggae, and island music celebrating the culture, heritage, and spirit of the islands.

The Little Grass Shack brings together island music, Hawaiian history, and talk story—keeping the spirit of aloha alive for listeners in Las Vegas and around the world.
