Claim To The Throne
Akahi claims to be a descendant of Kamehameha I, the first Hawaiian king, and Queen Liliuokalani's sister; documentation of these claims has yet to be produced.
Akahi Nui's claim to the throne is controversial among the Hawaiian sovereignty community, with at least one sovereignty group filing a mock cease and desist order in the Hawaii Bureau of Conveyances and presenting it to Akahi Nui, saying that he has "no right, authority or power to act in the name of the Kingdom of Hawaii or its government".
