Magical Hawaiian Menehune Dolls: Ka'iulani, the Highest Point of Heaven

Ka’iulani, the Highest Point of Heaven

Princess Ka’iulani was the niece of Hawaii's last Queen Lili’uokalani and the final heir to the Hawaiian throne.

Also fondly called “Hawaii’s Island Rose”, Ka’iulani means the Highest Point of Heaven in the Hawaiian language.

Throughout her short life (1875-1899) Princess Ka’iulani fought with the strength and compassion of Aloha for the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Hoping to inspire support for the restoration of the kingdom, Kaʻiulani spoke to the people. Here is one of her statements, which was published in newspapers across the nation:

“Unbidden, I stand upon your shores today where I thought so soon to receive a royal welcome on my way to my own kingdom. I come unattended, except by the loving hearts that have come with me over the wintry seas. I hear that commissioners from my land have been for many days asking this great nation to take away my little vineyard. They speak no word to me, and leave me to find out as I can from the rumors of the air that they would leave me without a home, or a name, or a nation…

Today, I, a poor, weak girl, with not one of my people near me, and all these Hawaiian statesmen against me, have strength to stand up for the rights of my people. Even now I can hear their wail in my heart and it gives me strength and courage and I am strong, strong in the faith of God, strong in the knowledge that I am right, strong in the strength of 70,000,000 people who in this free land will hear my cry, and will refuse to let their flag cause dishonor to mine.”

Although Kaʻiulani was admired and respected by many of the American people, her pleas could not right the injustices that had occurred. Princess Kaʻiulani and Queen Liliʻuokalani boycotted the 1898 ceremony for the annexation of Hawaiʻi, and continued their work to ensure the rights of the Hawaiian people under the U.S. government.

Princess Ka’iulani had a gift for influencing public opinions and using her personal experience to change the hearts of people who were in power and had the ability to make decisions.

Hawaii’s Island Rose inspired the creation of Ka’iulani, the Guardian Angel.

Ka’iulani graciously crowns any Christmas tree with her enchanting grace. She also can be placed as a centerpiece and embrace your home with the Aloha spirit of Hawaii all year long. Ka’iulani is a wonderful gift to people close to you or to yourself at any time of the year.

Birthdate: ʻAukake 25, 2023 (08/25/23)

Welcome Ka’iulani as your Guardian Angel!

She is devoted to protecting and guiding you on your life’s journey.

The sacred sound of the Pu (conch shell) echoes across the ‘Aina (land) calling Ka’iulani (the Highest Point of Heaven) to earth. Ka’iulani’s home is Lanikeha, the high sky.

Named after Hawaii’s last Crown Princess, Ka’iulani carries a candle in her sacred Pu (conch shell), which invokes blessings of the divine. The heavenly light of Ka’iulani’s candle illuminates the paths of the Menehune’s lives on earth.

The Menehunes know Ka’iulani always watches over them enlightening their lives with her angelic presence. Hearing the divine sound of the Pu in the distance, the Menehunes sense that Ka’iulani is near. Sometimes she allows them a glance at the heavenly glow of her candle or a glimpse of her angelic white feather wings passing by to remind them how brightly the Aloha spirit is shining from their own souls.

All they have to do is call and Ka’iulani appears offering her wisdom and guidance.

Ka’iulani wears a red dress with a big Bird of Paradise flower. The dress is cone shaped to crown the top of a Christmas tree. Her fragrant Pikake Haku (head lei), wrist and ankle leis represent spiritual strength, unity and love.
The angel wings are crafted out of real white feathers.

Ka’iulani is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Ka’iulani is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.
Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.

Ka’iulani is an original design and comes with a booklet and a certificate of authenticity. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii. Ka’iulani is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
