SUPPORT HAWAI'IAN AUTONOMY

For generations, Hawai’i has been subject to settler-colonial disruption, and, in 1898, was unjustly annexed by the United States. This was only able to happen following a decades-long effort by American settlers to rewrite the constitution of the Kingdom of Hawai’i to disenfranchise Native Hawai’ians and dissolve the power of Hawai’ian royalty.

The struggle to liberate Hawai'i is ongoing. Issues like displacement and a widespread mismanagement of natural resources by governing powers leave Maoli in harm's way. Consider learning more about the endeavors for Kanaka Maoli independence at the links below:
