This is a statute of King Kamehameha the Great. He was the king that first united all of the Hawaiian Islands, and is well reveared in Hawaii. Kamehameha also made a contribution to warfare. He decreed that innocents, namely women, children, and the elderly, should not be targeted by armies. He did so around 1800, and the idea soon spread throughout the world. This is a statute of Kamehameha in Hilo (it actually stopped raining for this picture).
