Ka Hui Aloha ʻĀina o nā Kāne:
Hawaiian Patriotic League
The organization was founded on March 4, 1893, two and half months after the illegal overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani by pro-American Committee of Safety who established the Provisional Government of Hawaii. The founding officers of Hui Aloha ʻĀina were Joseph Nāwahī, John Adams Cummins, John K. Kaunamano and John W. Bipikane, who were all former legislators or ministers in the Hawaiian government during the reigns of Liliʻuokalani and her predecessor King Kalākaua. Many were involved with Hui Kalaiʻāina, who had called for a new constitution following the Bayonet Constitution of 1887.

Be it resolved. That the Hui Aloha Aina and other patriotic leagues, together with the loyal subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, in mass meeting assembled, representing by far the greater majority of the legitimate voters of this country, do hereby most solemnly protest against the promulgation of a new Constitution, formed without the consent and participation of the people, and we also protest against changing the form of government from the one under which we have lived peacefully and prosperously for many years. And that we maintain that the will of the majority of the legitimate voters of Hawaii should be the supreme power of the land, as such power is so recognized and accepted in all civilized countries, and by all the enlightened governments of the world.
