Hui Aloha ʻAina

Hui Aloha ʻĀina, meaning "Hawaiian Friendship Association," is a historic Hawaiian organization established in 1893 to advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and sovereignty. It played a crucial role during the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, opposing annexation by the United States. The group focused on preserving Hawaiian culture, land, and political independence, often through petitions, activism, and community engagement. Today, Hui Aloha ʻĀina continues to serve as an important symbol of Hawaiian sovereignty and cultural identity, promoting awareness, preservation, and advocacy for Native Hawaiians.
