Hawaiian Independence Day (Template:Lang-haw) was a former national holiday celebrated on November 28 during the Kingdom of Hawaii, which commemorated the signing of Anglo-Franco Proclamation, the official diplomatic recognition of the independence and sovereignty of the kingdom by Great Britain, France, and America. It is still celebrated today by proponents of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.[1][2][3][4]
