hawaiian_kingdom_shield_3I have yet to meet this man, "Ali'i Nui Mo'i Edmund K. Silva, Jr.", in person. Yet I knew the first time I saw his video, and listened to him speak, and read some of what he has written, that he is one with integrity of Self. And that he indeed could be one qualified, according to Hawai'ian Kingdom lineage, to lead Hawai'i out of the age of occupation, to that of reinstatement of the Hawai'ian Kingdom.

According to kupuna (elders) who have researched his blood lines, he is indeed descended from the first King of the collective Hawai'ian Islands, King Kamehameha I. And according to information I've received from a few that know about these things, that data is valid.

I can add here that I do know that the King's lineage, and title of "Ali'i Nui Mo'i" (High Chief) of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, has been vetted at very high world levels.

The first part of this is an article linked on the Kingdom of Hawai'i website, published in the Pasadena Weekly in 2011. The second is a bio sent to me from Lanny Sinkin, the King's attorney.

"By the time Silva came up for parole in 2004, elders, or kupunas, had traced his family lineage and determined his bloodline was linked to Hawaii's monarch prior to colonization of the islands under American business and religious interests.

"Edmund Keli'i Silva, Jr. is widely acknowledged as the King who has come to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom. He traces his genealogy to King Kamehameha I and King Kamehaha Nui of Mau'i and back into the mists of history."

'King' Edmund Keli'i Silva Jr. sees his fairy-tale ascension as one more step toward Hawaiian sovereignty

By Kevin Uhrich 11/03/2011

­­­Hawaiian "King" Edmund Keli'i Silva Jr.'s life story reads like a plotline from a film or a novel: An imprisoned king escapes captivity to eventually become his nation's rightful leader. And like those fictional monarchs-in-waiting, Silva suffered greatly.

By 2004, the 57-year-old martial arts grand master had served nearly half of a 24-year sentence in a Colorado prison for "theft by deception." The complaint, Silva and his lawyer and personal adviser Lanny Sinkin explained, centered on a $500,000 speculative loan taken out by Silva — who according the Hawaii Reporter was a real estate executive for Century 21 Kaiulani Properties Inc. — from a Colorado resident for the production of an instructional self-defense video for women.

By the time Silva came up for parole in 2004, elders, or kupunas, had traced his family lineage and determined his bloodline was linked to Hawaii's monarch prior to colonization of the islands under American business and religious interests. That year, Sinkin, who lives in Texas but operates an animal shelter in Hawaii, was approached by the kupunas to help get Silva get out of prison.
