I just gave permission for one of my classic photos to be included in an upcoming exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian.

Another cropped version of this photo is among those I posted here earlier. They date from sometime in 1976 or early 1977. With more research I could probably pin it down, but for now I’m a bit vague on it.

The rally marked the first public performance of Liko Martin’s “All Hawaii Stand Together.”

As usual, you can click on this photo to see a larger version.

The photo, taken at the bandstand at Iolani Palace, includes George Helm, Walter Ritte, Liko Martin, and Harry Mitchell.

You can see more of the photos from that day here.

Here’s a brief nugget about the exhibit, E Mau Ke Ea: The Sovereign Hawaiian Nation.

The image will be used to accompany text panels telling the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom, its overthrow, and the emergence of today’s Hawaiian sovereignty movement.

The exhibition is expected to open at our museum on the National Mall in Washington, DC in January 2016, and remain up for one year.
