The Hawaiian sovereignty movement is comprised of a loose coalition of groups that seek self-determination and self-governance for Native Hawaiians (or more broadly Hawaiian nationals regardless of ethnicity), and redress from the United States for its alleged role in the 1893 intervention and overthrow of Queen Lili'uokalani, and what is seen as a prolonged military occupation beginning in 1898. While these groups share this common concern, their views on how these ends should be achieved vary greatly. The Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement largely overlaps with the Aloha ʻAina (literally: "love of the land") movement in Hawaiʻi, which advocates for demilitarization, ecological concerns, indigenous recognition, and cultural site protection, amongst other things. This recent activism was started during the "Hawaiian Rennaissance" of the 1970s, after a long dormant period following the 1900 Organic Act and the transformation of the political organizations Aloha ʻAina and Hui Kalaiʻaina, who had fought against annexation prior to 1898, into the Home Rule Party. Modern day participants associated with the Aloha ʻAina movement generally advocate the anti-annexation sentiment held prior to 1900 by most native Hawaiian political organizations.
