The Lyman Museum will host Dr. Keanu Sai, a political scientist at Windward Community College, on Monday, Feb. 1.

Dr. Sai will explore the complex historical connection between Britain and Hawai’i.

Some scholars claim that Kamehameha I recognized Britain’s King George III as his liege lord, and that between 1794 and 1843, the Hawaiian Kingdom was actually a part of the British Empire.

The talk will begin at 7 p.m. at the Smithsonian-affiliated Lyman Museum.
