DescriptionFlag of Hawaii Hawaiian sovereignty.svg
English: The Flag of Hawaii was originally used for the Kingdom of Hawaii beginning in 1816 until 1945. Today, the current State of Hawaii flag (with variations) was adopted in 1896 and officially adopted in 1945.
Inverted national flags signify distress. The inverted Hawaiian flag has come to symbolize a nation in distress and is the main symbol of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
