There are signs of Hawaii all over the U.S. Capitol if you know where to look for them. One that’s easy to find: The enormous statue of King Kamehameha, looking like he just strolled over from Punchbowl Street. 

The iconic replica is now standing in Emancipation Hall, a large gallery in the Capitol Visitor Center, having been moved from a less visible location in the National Statuary Hall in 2008. 

The king is in good company — surrounded by smaller statues of Maria Sanford, Chief Washaki, Helen Keller, Jack Swigert, Mother Joseph and others — but his statue is arguably the most commanding presence in the room.
