I imagine some would like to go back to a time before Pa`ao made landfall ... the overthrow of 1893 remains current and there are bodies of people that remain tied to it and accountable.
When I lived on Maui, and a new building was to be named "Kamehameha" the descendants of Kalanikupule had no problem suggesting we would be better off back in the 1790's when their relative was chief. By your argument dakine, that an overthrow remain current and that there are bodies of people tied to it, we would need to go back another 100 years prior to 1893 for some Native Hawaiians now living on Maui. There are probably other, even earlier examples if you asked around.
