First Citizen Proclamation

His Majesty Edmund K. Silva, Jr.
Nou Ke Akua Ke Aupuni O Hawai’i
Royal Proclamation
First Citizen
Ka Po`e O Ke Aupuni
To the people of the Kingdom,
On April 22, 2015, I issued a reminder that the Kingdom of Hawai’i is restored as an independent
nation within the community of nations.

On that same day, I received a message from Mikahala Roy in which she stated:
“Please add my name to the list of the official members of the Kingdom of Hawai`i Nou Ke
Akua Ke Aupuni Hawai`i.”
She continued:
“Mililani i ke Akua! Praise Divine Creator and praise the long-standing and consistent efforts of Ali`i
Nui Mō'i Edmund K. Silva, Jr. and all faithfuls of Nou Ke Akua Ke Aupuni Hawai`i.
This day, by the declaration made by Ali`i Nui Mō'i, I confirm my true nation to be the Kingdom of
Hawai`i. I acknowledge Akua's miracle for po'e 'Oiwi taking place and do not hesitate to join in
support of the proclamation made this day by Ali`i Nui Mō'i Edmund K. Silva, Jr.
Far more than the Spiritual Reach for Harmony, here is the lifeline provided to members of the
Kingdom of Hawai`i ultimately for the good of the world.
In the ANPRM hearings conducted in 2014 in Hawai`i, the testimony I gave reflected the Guidance
of Spirit I received.

The United Nations Charter provides the rest of the authority to do it.” (An autonomous independent sovereign nation-state contemplated
under Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States requiring the state as a person of international law
possessing the four qualifications of (a) a permanent population, (b) a defined territory, c) government;
and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.)
The essence of statement is: The Ancestors of Hawai`i who proceed from Akua Manamanaloa hold
the spiritual unity of 'Oiwi and support the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii led by Ali`i Nui
Mō'i Edmund K. Silva, Jr.
Aloha Ke Akua”
I have this day accepted the request of Mikahala Roy to be a citizen of the Kingdom and
bestow upon her the honorary title “First Citizen.”
In bestowing this title, I am making clear that what I am putting in place is a constitutional
monarchy. In such a government, the Crown is separate from the citizens, who elect their
representatives.
It is important to take notice that the Kingdom continued to exist, even though the government was
overthrown and the rights of citizenship taken away.
Rebuilding the government required laying a foundation. The Kingdom Government cannot exist
without a King because there is no duly appointed regent deriving authority from an existing
government.
The Kingdom government was restored when I agreed to serve as hereditary King. With the
authority of the Crown as its foundation, the government and the constitutional system can now be
rebuilt.
In this process, outside of my own core staff, I have not recognized any other organization or
individual as representing the Kingdom.
I remind everyone that long ago I said that if there was another person qualified to be King or
Queen, who was ready to pledge his or her life to the restoration of our nation, malama the people,
and provide leadership toward a better future, I would be happy to step aside and go fishing.
To date, I have stepped forward as King, issued a declaration of independence, offered a vision and
plan for the restored nation that many find inspirational, fended off physical attacks and slanders
aimed at me personally, and provided guidance on a broad range of issues and challenges facing our
nation. I have been transparent with the people, posting everything we are doing on our website at
www.KingdomofHawaii.info.

Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States requiring the state as a person of international law possessing the
four qualifications of (a) a permanent population, (b) a defined territory, c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other
states.
I have yet to see anyone else step forward to put their life on the line, meet the tests of hereditary
qualification, and provide a vision to which the people can aspire. I have concluded that no such
person is going to step forward. I now claim the position of King without reservation.
The time has come to begin enrolling citizens. I have given a great deal of thought to how we
should go about rebuilding the citizen part of our government. The message from Mikahala has
catalyzed my thinking.
As First Citizen, Mikahala represents the rebirth of the Kingdom. We are starting anew while
maintaining our long-standing linkage to our ancestors.
Mikahala has persevered in her efforts to protect Kamakahonu, the site of Kamehameha I’s
government. She represents all those who have been steadfast – ‘onipa’a – in pursuing restoration
of our nation.
Kamakahonu also contained a Temple dedicated to the God Lono. Mikahala has persevered in
efforts to protect that Temple. She represents all those who have been steadfast in continuing to
practice the faith of our ancestors. Our new nation will take pride in all of its historical roots,
including the traditional faith that will now be allowed to practice again without restriction or fear
of suppression. All other faiths, religions, and spiritual practices will be equally protected.
Mikahala also brings the feminine energy to the restored Kingdom. Grounded in the Hale O Papa at
Pu’uhonua O Honaunau, that energy will balance the mana flowing to the Kingdom and its citizens.
As a practical matter, we still have some steps to complete before we can open up applications for
citizenship to all those ready to join the Kingdom. We are preparing a citizenship application and
the guidance for the application process. As soon as those documents are in place, I will publish a
notice.
We have been blessed with the sacred tasks of establishing our civilization as a model for the world,
assisting our brothers and sisters everywhere to resolve their conflicts, and restoring and
protecting our planet during these perilous times.
As we have often said, our challenge is to bring peace and reconciliation within the Human Family
and peace and reconciliation between the Human Family and the rest of the Natural World. We
approach those tasks joyfully and with unshakeable determination.

I look forward to forging the links of community with all who hunger for peace and are willing to
share in the work necessary to achieve that goal.
E waikāhi ka pono i mānalo – It is well to be united in thought that all may have peace.
Pupukahi i holomua.
Unite to move forward,
Edmund K. Silva, Jr.
