Beginning in 2002 --



For 20 years, Hawai'i International Forgiveness Day
has been celebrated at many sites around Honolulu.

Now, Forgiveness Day has come of age.
In our 21st year, we're still celebrating -- but now, for the first time

 on the Leeward Coast of O'ahu, in 2023
where the winds blow, the mountains soar

and the whales play.

The Queen's Prayer:

Mai nānā `ino`ino
Nā hewa o kānaka  

Akä e huikala

Do not be angry
About the errors of man

But forgive
And cleanse
