Marchers honored the struggles of their ancestors and plan to create a better Hawaiʻi for future generations. The event was complete with art spaces, hula, educational booths, live music and speakers from local activists. The crowd also honored Hawaiʻi's last reigning monarch, Queen Liliʻuokalani. U.S. Congress admitted that the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was illegal in a formal apology resolution passed in 1993. In response to the overthrow and apology, activists continue to elevate Hawaiian culture and fight for sovereignty. "It's really important for the Hawaiian people to exercise our culture in the ways that help to elevate and uplift and amplify our culture, our traditions and specifically today, our political history when it comes to sovereignty," said Imaikalani Winchester, kumu at Halau Ku Mana Public Charter School.
