[1][2] The Aloha ʻĀina Party was convened in 2015 by founding members Donald Kaulia, Pua Ishibashi, and Desmon Haumea as a political action group.

[5][6] In 2020, the party fielded candidates in fifteen state legislative races on a platform to bring kanaka maoli (Native Hawaiian) values into governance.

[7] According to the Aloha ʻĀina Party Founders, the party was founded because of frustration with the state's handling of issues concerning both Kanaka Maoli as well as the citizens of Hawaiʻi at large, and the limited natural resources in Hawaiʻi including the Thirty Meter Telescope project on Mauna Kea.

They also nominated their first statewide candidate, Dan Decker, for the 2022 United States Senate election in Hawaii.

[14][15] According to its website, the Aloha ʻĀina party advocates for a sovereign Hawaiʻi through the framework of hoʻoponopono ("making right what is wrong"), believing the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom to have been an unjust act.
