[[File:hawaii.gif|center]] | [[File:hawaii.gif|center|Arms (crest) of {{PAGENAME}}]] | ||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The first and fourth quarters display the white, red, and blue bars of Ka Hae Hawaiʻi or the Flag of Hawaiʻi. The eight bars represent the eight main islands. | |||
The second and third quarters are on a yellow field with a white 'Puloʻuloʻu, or tabu ball pierced on a black staff. The Pulo'ulo'u was carried before the king and placed before the door of his home, signifying his authority and power. In the arms it is a symbol of the authority and power of the government. | |||
The two warrior supporters represent the old government leader (King Kamehameha the Great) and the new government leader (The Goddess of Liberty). | |||
I have no info on the meaning of the inescutcheon. | |||
The state motto: Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Āina i ka Pono is roughly translated into English as "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness. | |||
