You'll find no more potent symbol of Hawaiian independence than 'Iolani Palace, a Victorian-style mansion in downtown Honolulu.

Yep, there's nothing more "Hawaiian" than a Victorian Mansion.

Except of course, the Hawaiian flag dating from the days of the Kingdom, which imitates both the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. (The reason was to give other countries pause before attacking Hawaiian Kingdom vessels or refusing them entry in their ports, not knowing whether they were in fact British or American ships.)
