User:KAVEBEAR/Royal Coat of Arms of Hawaii

Kamanawa and his twin brother Kameeiamoku were also honored by being portrayed on the Hawaiian Kingdom's coat of arms. The twin chiefs stood on e i t h e r side of a heraldic shield holding a spear and a kahili or feather standard. This remained the o f f i c i a l coat of arms u n t i l 1896, when the Republic of Hawaii replaced these two figures with the Goddess of Liberty and Kamehameha I. The s t a t e of Hawaii seal and coat of arms are essentially similar to the l a t e r version.
