The Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi is the ancestral name of the current state of Hawaii. Atooi was the ancient name for Hawaii, the head of the Polynesian Triangle. This ancient nation was a part of The Royal Union of The Pacific Nations located in the Polynesian Triangle.

In 1810, Kamehameha I of Oahu created a unified monarchy over all the Hawaiian Islands with the exception of Atooi – which he could not conquer, but still traded and became allies with. Kamehameha I become the first ‘King’ of Hawaii affording the islands a level of cohesion and security they had not previously known

Although he attempted to do so twice, Kamehameha I did not conquer Atooi or its nearby neighbor Niihau under Atooi’s protection. Instead, Atooi’s Ali’i Nui elected to sign an agreement with Kamehameha I to ensure sandalwood and other trade were fair and equitable throughout the Hawaiian Island chain. This arrangement remained in place throughout 1800s.
