Home > House of Kamehameha

 
The House of Kamehameha, or the Kamehameha Dynasty, was the reigning family of the Kingdom of Hawai'i between the unification of the islands by Kamehameha the Great in 1810 and the death of Kamehameha V in 1872. Its most important contributions were the institution of a constitutional form of government, abolition of ancient Hawaiian kapu systems in favor of westernized laws, proclamation of the Edict of Toleration giving all Hawaiians freedom of religion and the promulgation of the Great Mahele, appropriating lands to native Hawaiians who could for the first time in history own private property.

Today, the surviving members of the Kamehameha Dynasty are of the eldest brother of King Kamehameha the First, Prince Kalokuokamaile, his great granddaughter, Princess Theresa Owana Kaohelelani Laanui, she had 14 grandchildren.
