Hui Aloha ʻĀina

Hui Aloha ʻĀina, meaning "Hawaiian Love for the Land," is a historic Hawaiian organization founded in the early 20th century to advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and sovereignty. It played a significant role in resisting efforts to annex Hawaii by the United States and in promoting Hawaiian culture and independence. The group organized protests, petitions, and political efforts to preserve Hawaiian self-determination, especially during the period leading to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Today, Hui Aloha ʻĀina remains a symbol of Hawaiian nationalism and cultural preservation, emphasizing the importance of respecting and maintaining Native Hawaiian sovereignty and identity.
