Twenty-two protesters were arrested at Iolani Palace Monday night.
The state closed the palace to secure the building and grounds during the APEC summit.
The protesters had been on the grounds since Sunday night.
They were arrested for trespassing.
They say the palace is their seat of government and it belongs to the Hawaiian people.
"We are going to go with love and aloha because that’s what we always stand on there’s not going to be any aggression," said Hawaiian Kingdom leader Queen Mahealani.
"We know they want to make their point, and we need to make our point, and as you can see things went smooth and very respectful on both sides," said state land department director William Aila.
The protesters say they’ll be back when they get out of jail.
The grounds of Iolani Palace will reopen next Tuesday, November 15 at six o’clock in the morning.
