Onipa’a Peace March Line Up
Every year the Queen’s Portrait leads the march on the route – this has been happening for last eight years. The first few marches were just a couple hundred people led by Queen’s portrait carried by the founder of Queen’s Court, Kailana Moa-Eli. This year the event has grown but the spiritual route that Kailana carry’s the Queen on has remained the same.
