The Constitution prevents the Federal government from interfering with freedom of association, as it does with the rights of free speech and religion. Those rights are neither defined nor guaranteed by the Constitution, they are considered to be inalienable rights endowed to all peoples by God.

Private entities are allowed to choose with whom they associate, or not, barring protected groups defined in Federal law. This is why businesses have a sign on the door that says they have the right to refuse service to anyone. Rights not permitted to the Federal government devolve to the states, and then to the people.

Also, it's Hawaii. The native government was overthrown by a coup orchestrated by American sugar companies. It is one of many sovereign indigenous nations being unjustly occupied by the US. The Constitution is on their side but I hold them to no obligation to give a single rat fuck about colonizers and their laws.
