RE: Ka ʻAhahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina / Hawaiian Patriotic League participation in the events being held on January 17th, 2018, the 125th anniversary of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government with military intervention by the United States

During a special meeting held January 7, 2018 the members of the Central Body of Ka ʻAhahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina / Hawaiian Patriotic League met regarding the 125th anniversary commemorative events being held in Honolulu on January 17, 2018. Those members in attendance voted unanimously to participate in activities to be held at Mauna ʻAla, the so-called State Capitol rotunda, and ʻIolani Palace grounds as a show of support for and rememberance of our late Queen Liliʻuokalani and to acknowledge the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

We therefore issue the following statement to our Membership:

The ʻAhahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina / Hawaiian Patriotic League highly encourages all members, Hawaiian Kingdom subjects, Aloha ʻĀina Patriots and supporters to participate in the events centered on the 125th anniversary of the illegal overthrow and subsequent occupation of our lands by United States-backed insurgents. We call for all like-minded individuals to gather peacefully, regardless of political affiliation, and unify in remembrance of our beloved Queen. We ask that all members make necessary arrangements to attend as they are able.

We also ask for those who are unable to attend in person, to keep our Queen, Country, and Kupuna Aloha ʻĀina / Hawaiian patriots in your thoughts. Display your Hae Hawaiʻi and National symbols in prominent places, observing moments of quiet contemplation throughout the day. We ask that our Lāhui follow their hearts, and not give in to divisive rhetoric taking place on social media or calls from organizational leaders proposing a boycott of such events.

Let this be a time of unity and reflection amongst our people. Let us gather, shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart to raise our banners for our Queen, our Country and our Lāhui.

Aloha ʻĀina,

​Ka ʻAhahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina / Hawaiian Patriotic League

​Kanaʻina Building, ʻIolani Palace, Honolulu, Oʻahu, ​Ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina
8/4/2017-8/6/2017

On June 18, 2016, and August 13, 2016, mass meetings were held by a voluntary assembly of 7 charter members--descendants of Hawaiian subjects alive prior to January 17, 1893--that adopted bylaws and elected officers forming an Interim Council to restore Ka ʻAhahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina o Ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina, ​The Hawaiian Patriotic League of the Hawaiian Islands (KAHAA), a voluntary civic association with an ordinary deliberative assembly.

On January 14, 2017, the Interim Council adopted a Code of Ethics for Hawaiian Patriots.

​On March 4, 2017, KAHAA was restored by the Interim Council as a revision of its own bylaws previously adopted on August 13, 2016.

From August 4 through 6, 2017, the first Annual Convention of the League in more than a century was held at the Kanaʻina Building on the grounds of ʻIolani Palace. Meetings were held with 22 Delegates assembled from the 6 chartered Branches, under the supervision of a credentialed parliamentarian.

The Branches introduced 32 resolutions, of which 31 were adopted.

​The object of the League bylaws was amended to read as follows:

Elected were the 9 officers of the Central Body as prescribed by the bylaws.

​In the meantime, Aloha ʻĀina (Hawaiian Patriots) in our Lāhui (Nation), are encouraged by the League to become members and organize Branches. Today, there have so far been identified 59 Branches of the original League that existed between 1893 and 1901. Help the League return to that grassroots infrastructure which was instrumental in defeating both treaty attempts to annex the Hawaiian Islands in 1893 and 1898.
