Summary
A declaration signed at Kapaʻa on 8 September 2010 by Aliʻi Nui Aleka Aipoalani for the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi and by signatories who signed in their customary capacities — an Ariki Nui of Polynesia and paramount, hereditary and customary leaders from Rapa Nui, Fiji, Rarotonga, Mangaiʻa, Tuvalu, Samoa, Rurutu, Tuamotu and Tonga, together styled the Union of Pacific Nations (TMAK). By it the undersigned recognise the right of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi to exist peacefully in perpetuity and undertake to honour and support its human rights, civil liberties and political autonomy. That recognition holds between the signing parties, under their own customary authority. The signatories did not sign for the governments of the states in which their islands lie, and the document does not record any approval or authorisation by those governments.

Classification and Effect
This record is classified as Multilateral Treaty. Every instrument is listed under the title written on the document itself. Classification describes the character of the instrument; it never replaces, shortens, or restates the original title.
Recognition between Indigenous signatories is recognition between those parties. It is real, and it is binding upon them according to their own governance and protocol. It does not automatically constitute recognition by Canada, the United States, New Zealand, France, Chile, the United Nations, or any other third-party state or intergovernmental organisation, none of which is a party to these instruments.
