The Hawaii Independence Party is a political party that was a branch of the Nation of Hawaiʻi organization. It broke off in 2015 when the Nation of Hawaii turned its focus towards a Hawaiian Nation rather than independence. The Hawaii Independence Party is the only independence separatist political party from a surge of small pro-independence parties at the end of the 20th century from the Hawaiian sovereignty movement. According to the Hawaii Independence Party's platform, they support modern economics such as making Hawaii a banking and trade center for the Pacific Rim. They also acknowledge the necessity of more efficiency for an acceptable lifestyle if Hawaii were to be self-reliant. The National Constitution Party has listed the HIP as a Hawaii affiliate in the past, but no longer does so.
