"Nāhiʻenaʻena" (Sister of Kamehameha III) by Robert Dampier (British) - Oil on canvas / 1825 - Honolulu Museum of Art (Hawaii) #WomenInArt #RobertDampier #Dampier #HonoluluMuseumofArt #art #BlueskyArt #HawaiianRoyalty #KānakaMaoli #BritishArtist #BritishArt #HawaiianArt #PortraitofaGirl #artText
The sitter is Harrieta Keōpūolani Nāhiʻenaʻena, an aliʻi of the House of Kamehameha and the sister of Kamehameha III (Kauikeaouli). Painted in 1825 by British artist Robert Dampier, the portrait balances Western oil-portrait conventions (modeled face, atmospheric distance, framed “view”) with Hawaiian symbols of sovereignty. The ʻahuʻula and kāhili are not decorative props. Instead, they are declarations of genealogy and chiefly authority, and place her within sacred protocol. She is a young Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) girl standing, facing left while meeting us with a steady, composed gaze. Her skin is warm medium-brown and her features are softly modeled, with dark eyes and closed lips. Her hair is dark and thick, gathered high with a narrow red band and falling in loose curls. She wears an ʻahuʻula (feather cape) in vivid blocks of red and golden yellow, arranged in angular shapes and edged with a deep black border. In both hands she holds a kāhili, the royal standard (a slender staff angled upward, topped with a full plume of pale, tawny feathers that flare like a soft fan). Behind her, the right side of the canvas is dense with shadowed greenery. To the left, the landscape opens to a low coastal plain with scattered palms, small thatched structures, and a wide band of ocean under a gray-blue sky streaked with faint pink clouds. The contrast of bright regalia against a subdued horizon keeps attention on her presence: a girl presented with the dignity and visual language of chiefly rank. Her direct, unsentimental gaze can feel quietly resistant because she is rendered for non-Hawaiian viewers, yet the featherwork insists on an Indigenous center of power. Seen against the coastal horizon with land, sea, and arriving ships, she becomes a reminder that the kingdom’s future was being negotiated in real time. Youth and rule coexist in this portrait via a girl holding the emblems of state as both an individual and a living continuation of her people.

133 years of illegal occupation of a sovereign nation, by the US military and it’s illegitimate “state” government. A nation is more than just boarders, laws, and resources. It is we #KanakaMaoli and #We’reStillHere Ua may ke ea o ka aina i ka pono.
