The rhetorical vision of the independent Nation of Hawai'i, a sovereignty group seeking independence from the United States, was analyzed via fantasy theme analysis of two artifacts in their website. Spirit, Kupuna, and Lili'uokalani symbolized positive dramatis personae themes; the United States Government and haole invaders represented villains against Native Hawaiian people. Cultural preservation, political determination, and environmental protection of all Hawai'ian 'aina is deemed paramount for Hawaiian survival. This study demonstrates that the use of symbolic themes has been developed to persuade the public to support an Independent Nation of Hawaii, which is a symbolic vision of the future.
