Meleanna Aluli Meyer, above, was among those participating in a rededication ceremonv

of the Queen Lili'uokalani statue at the state Capitol that honored the dignity and memory of the queen as the reigning monarch of Hawai'i until her death in 1917. The Sept. 2 ceremony fell on the queen's 175th birthday. During the event, state Sen. Brickwood Galuteria, left, Hawai'i first lady Naneie Caraway, former Gov. John Waihe'e, current Gov. Neil Abercrombie and recording artist Kenneth Makuakāne unveiled a newly installed bronze plaque at the base of the statue that omits reference to 1 893. An inscription on the statue - whieh will be corrected as part of additional changes slated for the coming months - says that her reign ended in 1 893, the year of the overthrow.
