Hawai'i State Motto Shirt
This shirt has the official state motto of Hawai'i: Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono with an alternative translation: The sovereignty of the nation is perpetuated in righteousness. This phrase was uttered by King Kamehameha III upon the restoration of crown rule by Rear-Admiral Richard Thomas following the Paulet affair.
On Februrary 25, 1843, the lands of Hawai'i were ceded to Britain under protest due to the threat of bombardment by Captain Lord George Paulet. When Paulet's commanding officer Rear-Admiral Thomas learned of this, he sailed to Hawai'i to meet King Kamehameha III. He quickly reversed Paulet's actions and restored Hawaiian sovereignty.
The word 'ea' is usually translated as 'life'. However, another definition of 'ea' is 'sovereignty'. Given the circumstances in which it was first uttered, the context implies that the correct translation of the word 'ea' should be 'sovereignty' and not 'life'.

I really like the design but I'm not sure the white base really took as you can see pink through her fur/bikini. So that was a little disappointing. That's more on the printing side though than the actual design, the design is really great, Cutey Bunny looks so beautiful! If you're thinking of getting this then I'd say just go for a white T-shirt and you should be fine.
