Today, the flag of Hawaii flies in recognition of Lā Hae Hawaiʻi, also known as Hawaiian Flag Day. According to the State of Hawaii Office of Hawaiian Affairs, “On July 26, 1990, then-Gov. John Waihe‘e signed a proclamation making every July 31 Lā Hae Hawai‘i, or Hawaiian Flag Day, and urged Hawai‘i citizens “to observe due respect for the flag and the proud tradition for which it stands.””
