Lot Kamehameha/Kamehameha V became successor. Many of his cousins existed including half white/hapa haole Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
The lies of Bernice Pauahi Bishop being the last of the Kamehameha's were perpetuated by the Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop and Friends. Piracy(ies) are documented.

William Charles Lunalilo was elected/selected to be the successor to the throne because he was the Senior Level of Kamehameha's widows.
Lunalilo became King William Charles Lunalilo because he was the oldest living son of Kamehameha and Liholiho/Kamehameha II's wife named Kekauluohi/Auhea (w). She married Kahea/Kaheakulani (k) and Charles Kanaina (k).
King Lunalilo died of tuberculosis as with his friend Robert Lewis Stevenson. They drank together and it's suspicious that during this period a Dr. Arnold, a longtime researcher in tuberculosis arrived during this period.
King Lunalilo's heir was Emma who publicly proclaimed that she was his heir. She said that she was the closest to the Kamehameha lines as her grandfather was Keliimaikai, the brother of Kamehameha.

The supposed Will of King Lunalilo was signed by Mason/Freemason Justice Albert Francis Judd for King Lunalilo. Albert Francis Judd was a descendant of Geritt Parmele Judd who had held back the vaccines/ anti- smallpox vaccines from the kanaka maoli and who gave the vaccines to only his families, non-Hawaiians/haole and selected kanaka maoli. The Smallpox brought into the Hawaiian Islands were the cause of thousands who died. The Hawaiian Alii did not want the sickly sailors to come ashore and their requests were ignored. Kanka Maoli dropped like flies while the Masons/Freemasons saved themselves. Gerritt Parmele Judd, a Mason/Freemason, was also suspected for stealing monies from the King's treasury.
Queen Emma was supported by the majority in the Hawaiian Islands. Due to her English roots, her grandfather being John Young/Olohana counselor of Kamehameha, the English military were ready to support her. Part of the Estates of the Young family was held by the English, and some of our families claim that monies are held by Lloyd's of London still.
Queen Emma said that she was part of the closest line to Kamehameha because she descended from Kamehameha's brother Keliimaikai/Kealiimaikai.
Queen Emma made two proclamations maintaining that she was King Lunalilo's designated successor. Additionally, he directed that his lands were to go to his father Charles Kanaina and after his father died, it would go to her.
Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop, American spy, attorney, banker, plantation owner, one of the Pacific Cable Company founders denied Queen Emma's claims.
Bishop, a Ministry Representative, opposed Queen Emma's Public Proclamations in the Privy Council. He countered Queen Emma's newspaper proclamations. Bishop claimed that if it were true, "he would immediately call the Nobles on the expression of a wish to nominate a Successor."
It was Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop who denied that Queen Liliuokalani was the hanai daughter of Abner Paki and Konia. His denial was recorded and Queen Liliuokalani was denied being a hanai sister of Bernice Pauahi. Bishop disregarded the recorded information in the Chief's Children's Schools records that Queen Liliuokalani was a hanai.
It was Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop and his half-white wife Bernice Pauahi who lied in Court claiming that Akahi/Chiefess Akahi had no descendants. The reason being that Akahi was the owner of 10,000+ acres and a Konohiki. Akahi's descendants/heirs existed then and exist now.
An election was held and David Kalakaua a Mason/Freemason became King David Kalakaua with the help of Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop who requested for assistance from the American military during the period. Kalakaua had a minority vote and Queen Emma did not want to promote conflict, death, etc.

1876 - King Kalakaua signed a fraud deed over Halawa lands/Ahupuaa which included Pearl Harbor. He deeded an already deed land to Grace Kamaikui and Mataio Kekuanaoa.
Grace Kamaikui, our ancestor died in 1866.
Mataio Kekuanaoa, our ancestor died in 1868.
1882 - Article in the FRIEND, January 1:
"Yale College Runs the Government"
".... Judd and McCully are on the Supreme Bench; Baldwin a Superintendent of Schools; Armstrong, is Attorney General and Minister of the Interior, Alexander at the head of the survey, and Bingham is Superintendent of Micronesians."......two recent arrivals named S.C. Gale Esq. from Minneapolis and W. Foster Esq., from San Francisco were Yale Graduates.....both lawyers..."What does this indicate? Has "Yale" any secret designs on the Islands of the Pacific?"
note: see below for a partial list of Yale graduates. The former President GW Bush for example is listed. He's a documented Mason/Freemason (see videos below) and some kanaka maoli claim that his family is originally from the Hawaiian Islands and he has relatives living on Kauai.
1884 - Bernice Pauahi died in 1884 from breast cancer. She was given an exhorbitant amount of OPIUM for pain. Kalola (w) was the only person documented as next of kin. Another heir with only a life-interest was Charles Reed Bishop.
Charles Reed Bishop signed away his "life interest" to the Trustees of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estates. See Bureau of Conveyances, Liber 142/page 142. The Bureau of Conveyances sits on our families lands, the land of Kalaniulumoku brother of Abner Paki. Our families hold title to these lands.
1885 - Queen Emma died. She was the widow of Alexander Liholiho/Kamehameha IV. She had proclaimed that she was the heir of King Lunalilo after his father Charles Kanaina died. The Proclamation was made after King Lunalilo had passed away from tuberculosis.
Her adoptive father Dr. TCB Rooke was a Mason/Freemason. Only TCB Rooke had adopted Emma, the daughter of Fanny Kekela Young and Naea (k). TCB Rooke was the second husband of her true aunt Grace Kamaikui Young who had three (3) children with Isaac Davis her father's English friend. They were Hueu Davis; Kale Davis; and Peke Davis. Descendants/heirs of the John Young's and Isaac Davis exists today.
The treasonous justices of the Supreme Court criminally assumed that their rules became law and moved as if they were in fact higher than the Sovereign AND the House of Nobles.
The Supreme Court Justices were but a body of non-bloods, not connected, descendants, heirs of the Sovereign and the House of Nobles - the two permanent parts of the Hawaiian Government.
They belonged to the third part of the Hawaiian Government, a temporary group which was named as the House of Representatives which became the treasonous branch called the Provisional Government, the Republic of Hawaii, the Territory of Hawaii, then the State of Hawaii with Oppositions by our Royal Families, subjects of Queen Liliuokalani, kanaka maoli, and subjects of Ko Hawaii Pae Aina/Hawaiian Kingdom/Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Islands/ Hawaiian archipelago over time.
The majority of the House of Representatives branch were treasonous Masons/Freemasons.
1887 - Masons/Freemasons held guns to their associate Mason/Freemason King David Kalakaua and forced him to sign a new Constitution giving them power. Under duress, stress, coercion, usurpation, Kalakaua signed.
1891 - King David Kalakaua had stopped presenting medals to others. The medals were symbols of Mason/Freemason activities. It appears that he recognized the wickedness of the Masons/Freemasons. He had been married previously to a descendant of Kahekili of Maui and had two children. He married Kapiolani, a descendant of Kaumualii of Kauai and a widow who had an adopted son. Kapiolani was the hanai daughter of a Kamehameha descendant named Kaluakini my great grandfather. She was the hanai sister of my grandmother.
King David Kalakaua died. He had designated his brother, then his sister Liliuokalani who had married Mason/Freemason John Dominis. Others that he designated as heirs were his sister Likelike; his wife's sister's Poomaikelani, our great great grandmother; Kinoiki who was the mother of Princes Edward, Kuhio, and Kawananakoa.

1891 - Queen Liliuokalani became the successor based on the selections of King Kalakaua.
1892 - U.S. Representative Benjamin Tracy is documented as planning the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani in Makua, Waianae on the ranch of Lorrin Thurston's family. The Ahupuaa of Makua belongs to the Kamehameha descendants/heirs existing then and exists today. It had been under the care of King Kalakaua's and Queen Liliuokalani's mother Keohokalole (w).
1893 - January 3, `1893 - Hundreds of Masons/Freemasons from around the World gathered to celebrate THE NEW TEMPLE in Honolulu.
They proclaimed that Honolulu was the 'home city' of the Masons/Freemasons.
1893 - January 8. 1893 - Premeditation to take over Pearl Harbor was documented by Congress, and the former American Civil War General, a Mason/Freemason U.S. President who did help to plan the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani.
1893 - January 9, 1893 - the NEW YORK TIMES printed the standing order, a directive to take over the Hawaiian Islands through Pearl Harbor claims, a fraud claim which was recorded during King Kalakaua's period as the BLUNDERS of the Reciprocity Treaty(ies) etc.

1893 - Queen Liliuokalani, to the horror of the Masons/Freemasons, destroyed the Constitution of 1887 - The Bayonnet Constitution.
They hurriedly put together a "purported Constitution" which they claimed was signed by Queen Liliuokalani and placed it in the U.S. Congressional Records. The supposed heirs to the throne was Masons/Freemasons Kuhio Kalanianaole and David Kawananakoa. Both were not related to the King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani's genealogy lines.
1895 - Princess Poomaikelani died. Queen Liliuokalani called her a daughter. She had taken care of Prince Edward who died. His brothers were Masons/Freemasons Princes Kuhio and Kalanianaole. Princess Poomaikelani/Kapooloku/Kapapoko/Abigaila was our great great grandmother.
1897 - Queen Liliuokalani opposed the Annexation to the U.S. The true opposition signed by Queen Liliuokalani was found by Kiliwehi Kekumano in the National Archives in Maryland.

Queen Liliuokalani's supporters of 40,000 also opposed Annexation. Their Oppositions/ signatures were hidden in the National Archives in Maryland and rediscovered by researcher Noenoe Silva, etc.
1899 - Queen Kapiolani died. She had given Masons/Freemasons Princes Kuhio and Kalanianaole a deed with the instructions to file it AFTER she died. They hurriedly filed it shortly after and did not wait till AFTER she died.
Queen Kapiolani publicly opposed the Deed's filings and it was recorded in the newspapers of the period. The case went to court and the Masons/Freemason Justices sided for the Princes Kuhio and Kalanianaole.
1917 - Queen Liliuokalani died. She was a hanai sister of Bernice Pauahi Bishop who was married to Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop. Bishop had denied her relationship in the Probates of Abner Paki, the father of Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
Queen Liliuokalani had set up a trust with her hanai daughter Kaaumoana our ancestor. Unresolved issues remain.
Summary
The problems found in history has much to do with the Masons/Freemasons presence in the Hawaiian Islands.
All of the Sovereigns were part of the Masons/Freemason, unaware of the criminal deviance involved according to researcher Chris Roses.
The Masons/Freemasons affected the Hawaiian Monarchy since the time of the 1822 - Secret Treaty of Verona. Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, the Vatican, England, and U.S. are recorded as having signed this treaty which was against all Monarchy governments worldwide. This Treaty also became a move towards One World Order, New World Order.
PIRATE OF THE PACIFIC: Charles Reed Bishop and Friends have been documented, many of the names were listed because Queen Liliuokalani did point out the treasonous persons over time.
Mason/Freemason, scum, scoundrel, liar, Charles Reed Bishop, promoted his support of the U.S. government by maneuvering his way into the Royal Families by marrying half-white Bernice Pauahi. Bishop was a dishonest man, corrupt in his personal life, and business life.
Queen Emma, a true heir to the Crown died in 1885. Then a non-descendant of Kamehameha gained the support of Mason/Freemason Charles Reed Bishop who supported him with the help of the forces of the U.S. military who helped to control Queen Emma's supporters.
King David Kalakaua ceased giving out emblems/symbols of Masonry - pins, jewelry, etc. after he found out the truth about the Masons/Freemasons. Oral history reveals that King Kalakaua died at the hands of the Masons/Freemasons. He was dead before he boarded the ship to California. King Kalakaua left and returned with the same clothes on.
Queen Liliuokalani was said to have been saved many times by displaying her Mason/ Freemason's jewelry. She was the widow of Mason/Freemason John Dominis. Queen Liliuokalani, along with her brother King David Kalakaua did learn about the Masons/Freemasons, etc.
At the time of the wrongful dethronement of our Queen in 1893, Masons/Freemasons played a major part in criminally assuming what was and is not theirs.
Some of the players of the period are those listed in the reference section, as well as the U.S. President Benjamin Harrison, Vice President Levi Morton - International banker expert in international transfers of monies, et. als.
The Masons/Freemasons includes those who are part of the active Pacific Club made up of lawyers, Corporations Executive Officers, bankers, etc.
The Masons/Freemasons are also an arm of the One World Order/New World Order with moves to assume what is not theirs; eliminate the "People of Color" "the useless, needless eaters", and an excellent example of that is the Smallpox Epidemic which killed off thousands, while the Judd's, Masons/Freemasons gave only their own families, friends the vaccines in the past.
The Royal Families, the descendants/heirs of Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III, the owners of the Crown Lands, etc., and who have inherited Sovereignty existed then and exists today representing truth, fact, and promoting peace, neutrality, justice in the Hawaiian Islands affecting the U.S. and the World Today.
Many of the Royal Families are descendants of the Sovereign - Kamehameha and descendants/ heirs of Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III; families of King Lunalilo; families of King Kalakaua; and families of Queen Liliuokalani who existed then and today. The permanent Treaties were made only between the President of the U.S./America and the Sovereigns heirs and successors. Our families are both heirs and successors which is why we remain the Crown Lands owners, etc.
We continue to maintain a neutral, friendly, non-violent nation and moving to correct the wrongs, etc.
aloha.

Our History in Brief
Contributed by: Lodge Historian
At this point it seems appropriate to correct some past claims about early Freemasonry in Hawaii and the founding of Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie. Through the years there have been stories claiming that James Cook the famous British Explorer who was the first Westerner according to most accounts, to discover the Hawaiian Islands was a Freemason. The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) has never confirmed this assertion. The UGLE has traced their records back through the 18th Century and advised us nothing has ever been found indicating that Captain Cook was a Freemason. Some earlier publications about Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie indicate the Lodge was constituted aboard the French Whaler "Ajax" by Captain Le Tellier. Recent extensive research has revealed that the Lodge was constituted by him in the Store of Jules Dudoit as indicated in the above. It has been assumed by some brethren and understandably so, that Le Tellier was the first Master of the Lodge he founded, or certainly a charter member. Once again recent research has revealed that although Le Tellier founded Lodge Le Progre de l'Oceanie, odd as it may seem he never became a member.
Formed in 1841 under dispensation from the Grand Lodge of France, we were fully chartered in 1843. Lodge Le Progres de l’Oceanie was the first Masonic lodge west of the Rocky Mountains. Since then it has continuously been a forum for the best men of Oahu society, a source of enrichment for Oahu’s communities, and a guardian of Masonic tradition.
We are currently chartered by the Grand Lodge of Hawai’i, issued in 1989. During the interim we were chartered by the Grand Lodge of California beginning in 1905. In 1998 King Kalakaua Daylight Lodge amalgamated into our family.
Kings Kamehameha IV (1859, 1861-2) and Kalakaua’s (1876) service as Worshipful Master further distinguish our lodge as being one of only two to have enjoyed a reigning monarch in that station. Iolani Palace and McKinley School are but two local landmarks bearing cornerstones lain with assistance from our lodge. Queen’s Medical Hospital was founded by Kamehameha IV, PM while serving his first term. The brethren of our Lodge also helped to found the Honolulu Shriner’s Hospital for Children.
Hawaiian Lodge No. 21 Free & Accepted Masons was the second Lodge to be established in Hawaii. It was Chartered by the Grand Lodge of California on May 5, 1852, and was the first Lodge in Hawaii to descend from an American Grand Lodge. Hawaiian Lodge is the oldest Lodge in the Hawaii Jurisdiction that has operated continuously, with no interrupted periods since its inception.
The first Lodge established on the Island of Maui was Charted by the Grand Lodge of California as Maui Lodge No. 223, in 1872. The Lodge prospered for a few years but in 1877, surrendered its Charter due to a lack participation.
In 1904, the Brethren on the Island of Maui once again sought to establish a Lodge on the Island. An inquiry to the Grand Lodge of California did not elicit much encouragement so the Brethren contacted Henry Ernest Cooper Past Master of Hawaiian Lodge and founder of Pacific Lodge No.822 under the Grand Lodge of Scotland, for recommendations. It appers that Cooper was the Representative of the Grand Lodge of Scotland in Hawaii at the time. As a result, on February 2, 1905, the Grand Lodge of Scotland Chartered Lodge Maui No. 984 in Wailuku, Maui. In 1918, the Lodge transferred its allegiance to the Grand Lodge of California.
Pacific Lodge No. 822 was organized by dispensation on January 4, 1895, through the District Grand Lodge of Queensland, Australia (Scottish Constitution) and was Chartered by the Grand Lodge of Scotland on August 1, 1895. In 1910, Pacific Lodge transferred its allegiance to the Grand Lodge of California and became Honolulu Lodge 409.
Neither Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, Hawaiian Lodge nor the Scottish Rite Bodies were involved in the power politics of the 1890s and remained aloof from the political intrigues of the annexationists and the royalists associated with deposing Queen Liluokalani. However, there were some brethren who were active participants in one camp or the other.
The role of some of the brethren in both the political and military activities beginning shortly before January 17, 1893, when Queen Liliuokalani was deposed, and the annexation by the United States on August 12, 1898, is a story in itself and beyond the scope of this paper.
On July 20, 1989, 146 years after the establishment of Freemasonry in the Sandwich Islands, and with the full support of the Grand Lodge of California, the twelve Hawaii Lodges constituted the Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of the State of Hawaii.

Prince Lot was the first native Hawaiian to become a Freemason.
He became a Master Mason in Hawaiian Lodge No.21 F&AM in May 1853.
Prince Alexander Liholiho, Kamehameha IV, 1834-1863
King Kamehameha IV became a Master Mason in Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie No. 124 A.A.S.R. in
December 1856. He served as Worshipful Master in 1859, 1861 and 1862.
King David Kalakaua, 1836-1891
King David Kalakaua became a Master Mason in Lodge le Progres de l'Oceanie No. 124 A.A.S.R. in
January 1859. He served as Worshipful Master in 1876, shortly after he was elected King.
Prince William Pitt, 1855-1877
Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku Kalahoolewa brother of David Kalakaua and Liliuokalani (Mrs. John
Dominis) became a Master Mason in Hawaiian Lodge No. 21 F& AM in June 1874. He was named
heir to the throne by King Kalakaua, but unfortunately he died of pneumonia at the age of 22. As a
consequence the King named Liliuokalani heir to the throne of Hawaii.
Prince David Kawananakoa, 1868-1908
Prince David Laamea Kawananakoa nephew of King Kalakaua became a Master Mason in Lodge Le
Progres de l'Oceanie A.A.S.R. in August 1900. David was very well educated, he attended schools
in Hawaii, the United States and England. He became involved in politics for a brief period and was
active in the Democrat Party, but never held an elective office.
John Dominis, 1832-1891
John Owen Dominis Consort of Queen Liliuokalani and Governor of Oahu became a Master Mason in
Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie No. 124 A.A.S.R., in April 1858. He served as Master of the Lodge in
1863, 1864, and 1868. Dominis served as General Legate and Deputy of the Supreme Council for the
Hawaiian Kingdom. As a practical matter, he served as the Deputy of the Hawaii Scottish Rite Bodies
from 1874-1891.
Dominis served as chamberlain and secretary to Kamehameha IV, and was appointed Governor of Oahu
and Commissioner of Crown Lands by Kamehameha V. John Dominis died seven months after his wife
Liliuokalani became Queen of Hawaii. He tended to exercise restraint over his somewhat headstrong wife,
and it is thought by some historians that had he lived during the critical periods of her reign, the total
downfall of the Hawaiian Monarchy might have been averted.
Archibald Cleghorn, 1835-1910
Archibald Scott Cleghorn the husband of Princess Miriam Kapili younger sister of King Kalakaua and
father of Princess Victoria Kaiulani, succeeded John Dominis as Governor of Oahu, became a Master
Mason in Hawaiian Lodge No.21 F & AM in December 1873. He was an active member of Hawaiian
Lodge and served as a Trustee from 1882- 1895. Cleghorn was a highly valued advisor to the Hawaiian
Monarchy for a great many years.
Curtis Iaukea, 1855-1940
Curtis Piehu Iaukea became a Master Mason in Pacific Lodge No. 822 (Later Honolulu Lodge). He served
the Hawaiian Monarchy as a highly competent One-man Diplomatic Corps and except for King Kalakaua
was the most traveled member of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Curtiss Iaukea was one of the most decorated
men in the entire history of Hawaii. During his illustrious career Curtis Iaukea served as Secretary of
Foreign Affairs, Special Envoy to the Coronation of Czar Alexander III of Russia, he accompanied Queen
Kapiolani to the United States and served as her interpreter with President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland
and also at the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in London in 1887. Some years later Curtis Iaukea
attended Victoria's Diamond Jubilee with representatives of the Republic of Hawaii. During his lifetime
he visited many European countries as an envoy of Hawaii. In later years he was active in Territory of
Hawaii politics.
Henry Cooper, 1857-1929
Henry Ernest Cooper became a Master Mason in a Lodge in San Diego, California in 1870. He was
Master of Hawaiian Lodge in 1894. Cooper organized Pacific Lodge No. 822 under the Jurisdiction of the
Grand Lodge of Scotland through the then District Grand Lodge of Queensland, Australia. Cooper served
as its first Master in 1895 and again in 1896. He served as Deputy of the Orient of Hawaii for the Scottish
Rite Bodies from 1896-1915.
Henry Cooper was a close associate of Lorrin Thurston the leading advocate of deposing Queen Liliuokalani
and with Thurston was active in establishing the Provisional Government, the Republic of Hawaii, and
ultimately the annexation of Hawaii by the United States. Cooper held various key positions along the
way and served as President of the Hawaii Republic for three months during the absence of President Dole.
Unfortunately, in the current atmosphere of anti-anyone who was actively involved in, or supported replacing
the Hawaiian Monarchy with any other form of government, that currently prevails among certain elements
of the Hawaii population, Henry Ernest Cooper has virtually become a "Non-person" or, is portrayed along
with Lorrin Thurston as one of the arch villians in Hawaiian history. To pursue the interesting career of Henry
Ernest Cooper any further would immerse us into the realm of politics...so for the purpose of this paper we'll
close here with the knowledge that Henry Ernest Cooper was indeed a dedicated Freemason and public
servant.
Robert Wylie, 1798-1865
Robert Crichton Wylie was Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Hawaiian Kingdom for over twenty years. Wylie
never married and his interest and support of the Hawaiian Monarchy seemed to be his one and only passion.
He was made a Master Mason in a Lodge in Mazatlan, Mexico before he arrived in Hawaii. Wylie frequently
visited Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie and Hawaiian Lodge.
