Agreements, historical treaties, declarations and relationship instruments preserved in the records of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi.
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.
Diplomatic Framework
The Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi maintains a structured framework of diplomatic relationships, treaty agreements, and cultural accords with indigenous nations, cultural institutions, and international bodies. These relationships are grounded in shared heritage, mutual recognition of sovereignty, and commitment to the preservation of indigenous governance systems.
Each record below is catalogued with the nation or indigenous group, year of engagement, supporting documentation, and photographic material where held.

Editorial note: the instrument type of each record varies. Some are state-to-state treaties in the formal sense; others are memoranda of understanding, nation-to-nation accords, ceremonial declarations, or diplomatic correspondence. Each card labels the underlying instrument type where known, and links to the primary document.

Treaties and instruments of the historical Hawaiian Kingdom government, held here as historical records and kept distinct from contemporary Atooi documents.
Bilateral treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation signed at Honolulu on 29 October 1857 between the French Empire and the Kingdom of the Sandwich Islands (Hawaiian Kingdom), and ratified by Emperor Napoléon III on 8 September 1858. The instrument establishes perpetual peace, reciprocal liberty of commerce and navigation, most-favoured-nation treatment, freedom of religion for French subjects in the Hawaiian Kingdom, mutual rights of property and succession, consular protections, and shipwreck assistance. The document carries imperial Letters Patent issued in the name of "Napoléon, par la grâce de Dieu et la volonté nationale, Empereur des Français."
Foundational bilateral recognition of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the French Empire under Napoléon III. Together with the 1875 US Treaty of Reciprocity, this is one of the principal nineteenth-century instruments by which a Great Power recognised the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Crown — the antecedent sovereignty from which the present-day Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi claims continuity.

Classification of Instruments
Instruments are classified by character so that a reader can tell at once what kind of document is being read. The classification is descriptive and is applied only where the record supports it.
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.
Effect of Recognition Between Indigenous Signatories
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.
