For some reason, in the previous posting of the video, I neglected to mention this beautiful video was created by Kingdom supporter and partner, Alie James, who has written several letters in support of the return of the Kingdom of Hawai’i, and in support of Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr. (blog).

In this version of the video, Alie provides an introduction with background, who is performing, and the significance of this “rising” time for the Kingdom of Hawai’i.
