Hawaiian Nationalist Movement

The Hawaiian Nationalist Movement advocates for increased sovereignty, recognition, and cultural pride for Hawaii, emphasizing its unique history and identity separate from U.S. governance. Originating from concerns over historical colonization, land rights, and preserving native culture, the movement seeks greater autonomy or independence for Hawaii. While some pursue full sovereignty, others focus on protecting indigenous rights and cultural heritage within the existing political framework. The movement aims to honor Hawaii's history, restore native authority, and ensure indigenous voices are respected and heard.
