Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As the 50th state, we have U.S. Virgin Islnds, American Samoa. Now it’s the American Islands of Hawai’i. The Over Throne, is the language and culture , King & Queen of a country family and people. The over throne words, are chief, chieftess (leader of a tribe/klan) & kinship. And the overthrone coat of arms. Is now is now the seal of the state capital. Then you got the flag. that overthrone too. It’s supposed to be the American flag. As our 50th state of the statehood. Washington D.C. is the Capital of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.(U.S.A.). State of Hawaii( supposed to be Hawai’i) is the condition of duplicate words. Mauna Loa & Maunaloa is two different places. Kauai, Hawaii is Kamehameha conquering Kauai, and submitted (summit) Hawaii. Kīlauea in Kauai & Kīlauea summit volcano in Hawaii. . A lot more to know. And her kinship Liliuokalani exiled . That is the Hawaiian flag. Thank you. ~2026-34232-19 (talk) 07:12, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
