Aboriginal Lands of Hawaiian Ancestry (ALOHA) demands reparations from the U.S. for the overthrow of the Native Hawaiian government in 1893. The demands go unanswered but stir the growing Native Hawaiian movement to further evaluate the toll taken by U.S. occupation of their ancestral homeland on Native Hawaiian culture, beliefs, and identity.
