Two classes of record
Historical Hawaiian Kingdom Record
Material originating with the Hawaiian Kingdom as a historical state — its institutions, laws, treaties, decrees, and governmental activity.
Contemporary Atooi Record
Material of the modern Kingdom — its leadership, ceremonies, missions, agreements, correspondence, and Kingdom-issued instruments.
Historical Hawaiian Kingdom records document the institutions, laws, diplomacy, and governmental activity of the historical Kingdom. Their inclusion does not by itself establish the authority of any particular contemporary claimant. Contemporary claims of continuity, succession, genealogy, or authority are documented separately.
Note on Institutional Titles
Institutional titles — including office, mission, representative, and ambassadorial designations — are reproduced as they appear in the Kingdom's own records and in primary-source documents held in the archive. Their reproduction does not imply accreditation, credentialing, or recognition by any government or international organisation unless a cited external source explicitly establishes that fact. Where no such source is held, the title is recorded as an internal appointment of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi. Traditional and chiefly titles are given in their own language and are not translated into Western equivalents such as “King”, “President”, or “Minister”; where an outside publication uses such a translation, it is marked as that publisher’s wording. Where a person’s exact title is not established by the record, neutral wording is used — traditional leader, customary leader, Indigenous leader, or Kingdom representative.

Welch". Until a signed appointment instrument or other authoritative record settles the spelling, the register uses the initial and this listing is not described as confirmed.

Office of the Interior
Biography note
Biography pending publication. This record presently confirms only the appointee's name, title, and office.
Last reviewed 2026-09-06. Named appointees carry portfolio responsibility within the Council of Ministers. No appointment decree, signed notice, or meeting record is published for any of these appointments, so none is described as confirmed. No constitution or governing instrument of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi is published in the current public archive, and none has been released for publication. The Kingdom invokes the 1864 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a historical reference text; that instrument is a historical document of the Hawaiian Kingdom and is not a governing instrument of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi. Until a governing instrument is released, the offices in this register rest on the Kingdom's register entries alone.Biography stubs below are limited to cleared public information; where fuller verified material is not yet published, the page states so plainly.
Marshal Corps
The Kingdom of Atooi maintains a Marshal Corps established under its own internal law. It is an internal institution of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi: its claimed authority and its activities are to be understood according to the jurisdiction and documentation stated on this site. It holds no police powers. It is not a United States, State of Hawaiʻi, or other governmental law-enforcement agency; no external government has recognised, deputised, licensed, or accredited it as one; and its members hold no power of arrest, search, or seizure derived from any such government. Members conducted a private investigation that contributed information to a federal narcotics prosecution (CR No. 14-00032 DKW, D. Haw.); the federal court characterised the participants as private citizens and ruled on the private-search doctrine.
The Four Foundations
The Royal House maintains a line of succession from the pre-overthrow Hawaiian Kingdom, carried by the Aliʻi Nui under custodianship conferred by the Kūpuna. The parent-child links are classified individually in the genealogy register; several are not publicly substantiated.
The island of Kauaʻi — the seat of the Kingdom — was never militarily conquered. Its distinct sovereignty was preserved by treaty.
A Marshal Corps whose members' private investigation contributed information to a federal narcotics prosecution (D. Haw., CR No. 14-00032 DKW). The court treated the participants as private citizens; the ruling did not recognize the Corps as a United States law-enforcement agency.
The 2025 French Polynesia Royal Decree, presented for record at a range of French Polynesian administrative, judicial, and customary offices, and treaties with sovereign nations.
The Documented Record
Inquiries concerning any portfolio of the Council may be addressed through the Office of International Relations. The complete legal record of the Kingdom is held in the Legal Archive.
