When Hawaii was a territory it was not part of the United States of America. At that time within the Territory of Hawaii, the Federal Government could have helped form a Full Sovereign Hawaiian Nation using ceded lands. Today, it's a different situation because Hawaii is a State of the United States and all parts of Hawaii are part of the United States.
Note how the "United States of America" became the "United States".
The United States cannot whimsically give part of itself away by Federal act. That is a matter for the whole of the Union to decide.
That is another fact.
The United States can through treaty discard its territorial holdings but Hawaii is no longer a territorial holding.
