After the last reigning monarch, Queen Lili'uokalani, was over thrown and Hawaii was in the process oftrying to be annexed the Hawaiian people created a group in order to stop the annexation of their homeland. The group of Hawaiians called themselves the Hawaiian Patriotic League. This League tried to oppose the invading nations attempt to take their lands by using their laws against them, they created a petition in which many Native Hawaiian people signed. The interests of the hauole businessmen took precedence over the needs of the indigenous community and to this day atonement for the Native Hawaiian people and their losses has not occurred.
