The Queen Lili’uokalani (Li-lee-u-o-ka-la-knee, lē-lē′o͞o-ō-kä-lä′nē) Center for Student Services (QLCSS) was dedicated to the last monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen Lili’uokalani (1838-1917), also known as Lydia Lili’uokalani Paki. She was known to be a devoted monarch, a faithful scholar, and an extraordinary musician and composer, whom composed over 150songs in her life time. Her most famous piece is “Aloha ‘Oe.” Queen Lili’uokalani was known to never falter in her commitment to the people.

The United States had previously recognized the Kingdom of Hawaii’s independence. However, on January 17, 1893, U.S. troops took part in a conspiracy led by a small group of wealthy businessmen and sugar plantation owners to overthrow the monarchy of Queen Liliuokalani. Most Hawaiians opposed the nearly bloodless coup, as did incoming President Grover Cleveland. Once Cleveland left office, however, the United States fulfilled the conspirators’ wishes by annexing the islands in August 1898. Hawaii became a formal territory two years later and a state in 1959. The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified because Queen Lili’uokalani was charged for unnecessary reasons and was forced to do things against her own will that led to the absolute

As hunters across the state venture out into Alaska's forests and tundra in hopes of filling their freezer with moose meat, hunters in the Lower kuskokwim have bit the bullet and hung up their rifles. They are entering the first year of a self-imposed five-year moose-hunting moratorium they hope will significantly improve their moose hunting in the future.“The main stem of the Lower Kuskokwim is one of the few places left in Alaska that has outstanding moose habitat and extremely low numbers of moose,” said Roger Seavoy, the Bethel area biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom led to Hawaii being annexed to the United States. The overthrow involved many people and groups who supported Hawaii being annexed, such as Lorrin Thurston and The Committee of Safety. However, there were also many people who were against it including, Robert Wilcox, James Blount, and Aloha Aina. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom happened on January 17, 1893, where the provisional government took over and declared martial law in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Kingdom was officially annexed by the United States on August 12, 1898. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified because King Kalakaua was forced to sign the Bayonet constitution of 1887 which took all the power away from him and the monarchy.

Jacques de Lamberville, who had recently arrived to supervise native American missionary efforts in the area. From him Tekakwitha received baptism on April 18, 1676, Easter Sunday. She took the Christian name Catherine after the famous saint of medieval Siena, which became Kateri in Mohawk. Her baptism precipitated severe hostility, and so in 1677 Kateri departed for the Catholic native settlement named for St. Francis Xavier at Kahnawake (an alternative spelling of Caughnawaga but a different location than the original village) situated on the St. Lawrence river somewhat south of Montreal. Kateri received her first holy communion there Christmas Day 1677. On March 25, 1679, the Feast of the Annunciation, Kateri made a vow of perpetual virginity in emulation of the virgin Mary, formalizing her decision of several years

Like other chief children, he was sent to live with another chieftess named Haaheo Kanui (according to Aloha Hawaii), who brought him to the court of Kamehameha III (Located on Maui) to learn. Around the age of four. Kalakaua was sent off to Oahu, to continue his learning at the Chief’s Children's’ School (also known as “Royal School”). At sixteen, he proved to be a bright young man and he ended up studying law (under a man named Charles Coffin Harris), since he was exceedingly fluent in both Hawaiian and English. Yet he did not have a chance to finish his studies, due to the excessive governmental positions as in 1875, he became a major in King Kamehameha IV’s staff. Which ultimately would lead up to his coming kingship, after all he was part of the Kamehameha family.THroughout this time, he had also married a young girl named Kapiolani, when he was supposed to marry Victoria Kamamalu (who was soon to be Lunalilo’s wife). After that, he became a part of a group named “Young Hawaiians”, who were set on making Hawaii better for Hawaiians. At this time however, the Americans were beginning to make their move, starting to take down the Hawaiian system little by

I chose St. Angela Merici. St. Angela Merici is the patron saint of the disabled and physically challenged. I chose St. Angela Merici because she saw that girls were unable to get a proper academic education or an education in the Christian faith, and she then decided to help young girls get the education they needed. Education is very important to me just like it was important to St. Angela Merici. I was inspired by the way St. Angela Merici saw the problem of improper education and fixed it. She was also dedicated to prayer which I believe is an important quality.
