The Friends of Iolani Palace supports, guides, and manages Palace activities, providing caring stewardship for this Hawaiian landmark and national treasure. It currently administers the Palace under a lease with the State of Hawaii.
Mrs. Liliuokalani Kawananakoa Morris, grandniece of Queen Kapiolani, founded The Friends of Iolani Palace in 1966. Since that time, The Friends have supported and guided the restoration and management of the Palace building by obtaining donations and grant monies, spearheading efforts to acquire
original Palace furnishings, many of which have been scattered throughout the world, and actively managing and assisting with Palace activities.

A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Aloha Friends,
I am so happy and humbled to be here at Iolani Palace.
I have always loved this very special place, and I look
forward to working with all of you to continue to share its
very important story.
I would like to send out a sincere mahalo nui loa to Mark
Shklov, who served as the Interim Executive Director.
He accomplished so much during his time, and I mahalo
him for his patience and the aloha he has shown me as he
helped me ease into this position.
This summer has been an exciting one at the Palace. In
July, we welcomed thousands of people to our sacred
grounds for a celebration of hula. This was the third year
the Prince Lot Hula Festival was held here on the Palace
grounds, and featured two wonderful days of celebrating
Hawaiian culture and honoring Lot Kapuaiwa.
We also celebrated a new book, Iolani Palace Portraits.
It was written by our Palace historian Zita Cup Choy,
along with Palace docent and HPU assistant professor
Dr. Douglas Askman. If you’ve ever looked at the royal
portraits in the Palace and wondered who they were
and who painted them, this book is where you will find
the answers!
Don’t forget to check out our Facebook (@iolanipalace)
and Instagram (@iolanipalacehi), where you will find
interesting tidbits about the Palace, its royal residents,
and the artifacts in it.
If you haven’t visited the Palace recently, please do — and
bring a friend! It is because of your support that we can
continue to restore this royal residence and share its story
with the world.
Aloha,
Paula Akana

tour of the first and second floors of Iolani Palace, which includes the staterooms and private quarters
of the royal monarchies. The tour concludes with a self-guided exploration of the basement gallery
exhibits showcasing the royal collections, restored Kitchen, and Chamberlain’s Office. Guided tours
are from 9:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. and audio tours from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Tickets are distributed on
a first come, first served basis.

• October 6 – Children & Youth Day
• November 10
• December 8
We want to wish a special mahalo to Mark Shklov,
who served as Interim Executive Director of The
Friends of Iolani Palace following the departure of
Kippen de Alba Chu, who’d served The Friends for
over 12 years. Mark did a fantastic job spearheading
the organization while we conducted a formal search
process for a new Executive Director, and we’re so
grateful for his time, commitment and dedication to
The Friends of Iolani Palace.

In an ongoing effort to enhance our visitor experience, we recently launched a new
self-guided audio tour that shares the in-depth story of the last official residence
of Hawaii’s monarchs. The new, pre-recorded tour is 60 minutes in length and is
now available in English, French, German, Hawaiian, Italian, Japanese, Korean,
Mandarin, and Spanish.
As one of our most popular tour options, the self-led audio tour is a fantastic
offering for visitors looking to explore the Palace at their own pace while hearing
insightful stories about the monarchs who once roamed the halls. Like our
docent-led tours, the audio tour tells the story of Hawaii’s alii, as well as the history
of the official residence of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s last reigning monarchs, but
allows the flexibility and freedom for visitors to browse the Palace as quickly or as
leisurely as they’d like.
The refreshed self-led tour incorporates more Olelo Hawaii as well as music
recorded in Hawaii by local artists. In addition to stories about the Palace’s
extensive collection of artifacts, the tour provides valuable insights into the lives
and histories of King Kalakaua, his wife Queen Kapiolani, his successor Queen
Liliuokalani, and other key historical figures, concluding with a self-guided tour
of the basement Galleries. Italian has also been added to the language options
available for Palace guests.
Visit the Palace today to experience the self-led audio tour firsthand.
IOLANI PALACE UNVEILS NEW AUDIO TOUR
On Thursday, June 20, 2019 at 5:30 p.m., The Friends of Iolani Palace proudly
hosted the 2019 Annual Membership Meeting to keep all members abreast of the

Before the evening’s official business took place, Princess Abigail Kawananakoa

Historian/Docent Educator; Ferdinand Sagucio of the Facilities Department for
serving the Palace more than 29 years; Magnolia “Aunty Maggie” Keener was

Iolani Palace RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT BEQUESTWe are so grateful to the trust of Martin Skrypzak, through which Iolani Palace has
received a generous gift of $411,500. This considerable gift supports our efforts
to perpetuate Hawaii’s history and culture for years to come.
Martin was the life partner of former Palace employee, Darryl Keola Cabacungan,
whose journey with The Friends of Iolani Palace started in 1975 when he served
as a volunteer in what was at the time the developing Docent Program. He then
moved on to the role of Education and Programs Coordinator, through which he
coordinated several educational programs including Docent Training, Volunteer
Scheduling, the School Tour Program and more.
During his time at the Palace, Cabacungan developed a variety of training
materials for docents. He also authored “Iolani Palace: A Field Trip,” a curriculum
guide for upper elementary school teachers; and edited “Experiencing Hawaii’s
Historical Past: A Walking Tour of the Iolani Palace Grounds,” a curriculum guide
by Keoni Du Pont. Though Cabacungan is no longer with us, he was deeply admired
and respected during his time at the Palace, and his memory lives on through his
generous bequest. We are equally grateful to Martin Skrypzak for designating The
Friends of Iolani Palace as one of the beneficiaries of his trust.
We hope you will consider leaving a gift to Iolani Palace in your will or living
trust. Whether you choose to make a gift of an exact dollar amount or a part
of your estate, you are supporting the preservation of this unique historical
landmark. The size of the gift doesn’t matter — big or small, every gift makes a
meaningful difference.
For more information about supporting the Palace through bequests, trusts, and other planned giving, please contact Pomai Toledo, Director of Development and Communications for The Friends of Iolani Palace, at (808) 522-0827 or via email at [email protected].
Following an extensive local and national search, we’re thrilled to introduce Paula Akana as the
new Executive Director of The Friends of Iolani Palace. As one of Hawaii’s most highly regarded
veteran broadcast journalists, Akana brings more than 30 years of communications and leadership
experience to her new role, and we’re confident she will be an invaluable asset to our organization.
WELCOME NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Paula Akana
Recognized by the local community for her distinguished
career with KITV Island News, Akana has covered a variety
of stories about the Palace during her time as a journalist,
including its restoration, return of long-lost objects, and
unique place in Hawaii’s history. She possesses a deep love
of Hawaii’s history and culture, and will be instrumental in
supporting the Palace’s efforts to promote its mission and
to share stories of our monarchy and of the Palace with both
the Hawaii community and visitors from around the world.
A proud graduate of Kamehameha Schools, Akana received
her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism with a minor in
Hawaiian anthropology and archeology from the University
of Hawaii at Manoa. She is actively involved with a number
of local nonprofit organizations, including the Board of
Directors for YMCA Metro Honolulu and Mao Farms and is a
member of the Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu. She has also
been volunteering with the Polynesian Voyaging Society
for over 30 years, through which she’s pursued education
initiatives, voyaging planning, and fundraising efforts.
When asked about her new role at the Palace, Akana said,
“The Palace has always held a special place in my heart,
and I am humbled and honored to be asked to help lead
The Friends of Iolani Palace. I now look forward to not only
sharing the Palace’s story with the world, but also, along with
the board, staff and volunteers, to continue to restore and
protect this wahi pana.”
Welcome to The Friends of Iolani Palace, Paula Akana! We are
so excited to have you as part of our ohana.

Celebrating OUR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers hold a very special place in the hearts of The Friends of Iolani Palace.
For over 50 years, our volunteers have provided services that are invaluable
to the Palace’s day-to-day operations. On an average month, we have nearly
85 volunteers who share their love of the Palace with over 100,000 visitors from
around the world. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization, and help us
to preserve and perpetuate this historic landmark for generations to come.
On Sunday, March 17, we had the pleasure of celebrating these amazing people at our annual Volunteer
Appreciation Brunch. Hosted at the Oahu Country Club, the event gave us an opportunity to recognize
the remarkable efforts of our community volunteers who’ve devoted years of service to The Friends
of Iolani Palace.
Throughout the morning, staff and volunteers were treated to delicious food, live entertainment and
enjoyable company. Of course, the highlight of the event was the honoring of each and every one of
The Friends of Iolani Palace’s volunteers. Special recognition went to Armando Lopez, Mie Miura,
Keoua Nelsen, and Anita Wenska for each having five years of service. Brian Sims, Tory Laitila and
Willie Moore were thanked for 10 years of service, while Kathy McGovern was recognized for 20. The
reception concluded with the acknowledgement of Norman Black, who’s devoted 25 years, and Niklaus
Schweitzer for 40 years of bringing the history of the Hawaiian monarchy to life through their work
with the Palace.
Thank you to all of our volunteers who work hard to promote both the preservation and perpetuation
of Hawaii’s history and culture.

The 2019 Palace Shops ornament is inspired by a helmet plate belonging to
the Prince’s Own, a uniformed group of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The helmet
plate is the ornamental design located on the front of a helmet. This plate
designates the wearer’s nationality and organization, and is commonly
used among military and police forces, with the design featuring symbolism
that’s meaningful to said group.
The Prince’s Own was a volunteer artillery unit with its roots dating back
to 1857. As you’ll see depicted in the ornament, the bronze helmet plate
bears the letter “K” for King Kalakaua and is inscribed with the Hawaiian
national motto: Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono, or “the life of the land is
perpetuated in righteousness.” The design also features garland as well as
cannons and cannon balls.
The helmet plate, which is very similar to the one currently in our collection,
was donated to The Friends of Iolani Palace in 2019 by The Helen Ladd
Thompson Revocable Living Trust. The family are descendants of Anton
Rosa, who served in numerous governmental positions and most notably
as Attorney General for King Kalakaua. Mahalo to the family for their
generous donation.
This limited-edition ornament is exclusive to the Palace, and will
be available in September at our Palace and Gallery Shops for $25.
You can also pre-order an ornament for $20 starting now by calling
(808) 532-1050 or emailing [email protected].
