Public notice: This site is an informational and records portal for Ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi. Formal decisions, appointments, and policies remain subject to internal approval and official recordkeeping.
Ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi is not merely a committee, project, or temporary association. It is the framework through which the restoration of Hawaiian Kingdom governance is organized, educated, documented, and carried forward with discipline. The work respects the separate kuleana of the legislative and judicial branches and coordinates with other bodies without absorbing their authority.
The 1852 Constitution identifies the government of the Kingdom as a constitutional monarchy and divides the supreme power into executive, legislative, and judicial powers that are to remain distinct (Constitution of 1852, Articles 22–23). Ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi holds the central national governance framework, while each branch and body remains in its proper constitutional lane.
—Mission
Upholding a lawful, documented governance framework
The mission of Ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi is to uphold, restore, educate, and administer the constitutional governance framework of the Hawaiian Kingdom through peaceful, disciplined, documented, and lawful process. It serves as the central framework for executive ministries, public administration, diplomatic communications, civic education, national records, and restoration planning — aligned with the 1852 Constitution, the rights of the people, and the dignity of the ʻāina.
Article 14 of the 1852 Constitution states that government is conducted for the common good and for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people — not for the private interest of any one person, family, or class (Constitution of 1852, Article 14). Ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi carries this principle as a guiding duty.
—Vision
A disciplined, pono, culturally grounded framework
To support a disciplined, pono, culturally grounded, and constitutionally faithful governance framework that serves the people, protects the ʻāina, preserves Hawaiian identity, and advances lawful process through education, diplomacy, and records. This work is built not on personalities, fear, or control, but on kuleana, lawful structure, clear records, and aloha.

Careful language, by design
This portal uses careful, records-based language. It describes work that is pro tem, lawful, and consultative. It does not overstate recognition, and it does not imply coercive authority over any land, agency, or person.
