What is the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi?

The Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi is an Indigenous governing body based on Kauaʻi, formed in its present constitution in 1990. It holds that it continues the lineage and legal standing of the Hawaiian Kingdom. That is the Kingdom's own position; it is not a member or observer of the United Nations and holds no instrument of recognition from any state.

Who is the Aliʻi Nui of the Kingdom of Atooi?

Aliʻi Nui Aleka Aipoalani is Head of State as designated by the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi. The Kingdom maintains a genealogical claim to the aliʻi of Kauaʻi; that lineage is held in Kingdom and custodial records and is not established by an independent published genealogy in this archive.

What is the Kingdom's position on the 1893 overthrow?

United States Public Law 103-150 (1993) acknowledges that the 1893 overthrow occurred without the consent of the Native Hawaiian people. The Kingdom's position is that Hawaiian sovereignty was therefore never lawfully extinguished. The United States position is that Hawaiʻi is a state of the Union, and no court has ruled in the Kingdom's favour on this question. UNDRIP addresses Indigenous peoples generally and is not a recognition instrument.

How is the Kingdom of Atooi related to King Kamehameha and the Hawaiian Kingdom?

The Kingdom asserts descent from the aliʻi lines of the pre-unification kingdoms of Hawaiʻi, and maintains treaties, decrees and a ceremonial record. These are Kingdom-held records; the archive labels each with its evidence class rather than presenting them as independently verified.

Actions & Outcomes

A register of documented activity of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi — what was done, with whom, on what date, on what evidence, and what it does not establish.

Evidence framework

Every classified record on this site carries one of four states. Hover or focus a state to read what a record of that kind establishes and what it does not.

How to read this register

This page records what the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi has done. Activity, travel, meetings, litigation, and ceremony are not recognition. No entry on this page establishes recognition of the Kingdom by the United Nations, by any state, or by any government, and none is claimed. A dismissal, acquittal, or other procedural outcome is reported for its exact procedural meaning and is not presented as an accomplishment.

No totals for food distributions, cultural programmes, citizens, aid, meetings, or treaties are published on this page. A count is published here only when a dated underlying register supports it, and no such register is currently published.
