About this listen

In this powerful episode of Little Grass Shack on KU NV 91.5 Jazz & More, Island Emery guides listeners through one of the most pivotal and emotional chapters in Hawaiian history — the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and the annexation of Hawaii by the United States.

Blending island music with cultural storytelling, this episode explores:

  • The 1893 overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani
  • The role of American businessmen and U.S. Marines
  • The formation of the Provisional Government and Republic of Hawaii
  • The Hawaiian Patriotic League and the 21,000-signature petition
  • The 1898 annexation during the Spanish-American War
  • The legacy of sovereignty, resilience, and the enduring Spirit of Aloha

More than a history lesson, this broadcast honors the courage of Native Hawaiians and reflects on the lasting impact of annexation on Hawaiian identity, culture, and sovereignty movements today.

Through powerful narration and the best of Island music, Little Grass Shack continues to share the soul of Hawaii — past, present, and future.

Mahalo for listening. Keep aloha in your heart.
