Edit: I should clarify, the picture is a picture of an exhibit called Hawai'i a kingdom crossing oceans and this one highlights haunani Kay Trask. She founded the Hawaiian studies program at the University of Hawai'i and spearheaded the sovereignty movement in the 90s giving a famous quote in 1993 (exactly 100 years after the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom) "say it with your hearts, we are not American. We will die as Hawaiians, we will never be American, never! Never! Never!"

in international surfing, Hawaii competes under a different flag than Americans. They also have a separate ISA team (think FIBA basketball).
