Mission
Ke Aloha Aupuni exists to nurture the love of the Kingdom — he aloha no ka ʻāina, ka lāhui, a me nā kūpuna — by protecting, educating, and inspiring the people of Hawaiʻi through cultural stewardship, genealogical connection, and historical truth.
Our mission is to revitalize Kānaka Maoli identity, preserve the sovereignty of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi, and empower future generations through knowledge, heritage, and aloha.
Responsibility
Ke Aloha Aupuni is responsible for preserving and advancing the cultural, historical, and spiritual heritage of Kānaka Maoli through stewardship, education, and community empowerment. It safeguards sacred sites, artifacts, and genealogies; promotes ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and cultural literacy; and fosters intergenerational learning rooted in aloha ʻāina, kuleana, and pono. Through advocacy, collaboration, and the Moʻokūʻauhau Center, it strengthens identity, sovereignty, and unity within the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi while ensuring that ancestral knowledge continues to guide the future of the lāhui.
