There are many Hawaiian sovereignty movements.  Not all of them advocate a
return to the pre-existing monarchy.  Nearly all of them, however, consider
the U.S. annexation of the islands to be illegal and immoral and believe in
self-determination (which may include a return to monarchy or
quasi-monarchy) for the indigenous population of Hawai'i.

p.s.  In my view the most well organized (and the one I support)
sovereignty organization is Ka Lahui Hawai'i, although members of other
groups would surely disagree.  Then again, I'm somewhat biased.
