the island of Hawaii. The re-ordered one stands in front of Aliiolani Hale. A third replica was commissioned when Hawaii attained statehood and was unveiled in 1969. It stood in the United States Capitol alongside the Father Damien Statue and was the heaviest statue in Statuary Hall, weighing 15,000 pounds. In 2008, shortly after Hawaii-born Barack Obama was nominated as the Democratic Party's candidate for the presidency, the statue was moved from a dark, back row of Statuary Hall to a prominent position in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol's new visitor center. The Gould statue can be briefly seen in the opening credits of the original 1960s TV police drama Hawaii Five-O as well as the 2010 series reboot.

It is purported to be the most lifelike representation of the great warrior king. Las Vegas Statue There was a sixth statue in Las Vegas, NV, along the Strip at the Hawaiian Marketplace.
