  House of Kamehameha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Kamehameha himself descended also from chiefs of Oahu, Maui and Kauai, since the princely or chief class (alii) of the islands was rather intermarried, and legendarily all descended from a common ancestor, chief Wakea.
The House of Kamehameha also is responsible for maintaining and preserving the sovereignty and independence of the Kingdom of Hawai'i from the encroachment of European colonial powers in the Pacific Ocean.

The sole witness for Claimant at the Arbitration Hearing, Kamehameha Schools’ in-house counsel Louanne Kam, admitted that she had advised the estate’s Trustees that my claims lacked legal merit and that she had not reported them to the professional liability insurance carriers for Kamehameha Schools and PandC Insurance.
I maintain that Louanne Kam does not have the responsibility, or the authority, in this case to decide, on behalf of any insurance carrier, whether or not a claim has merit, or whether or not the claim should be reported to their insurance company.
This non-reporting of claims by the Legal Department of Kamehameha Schools to their insurance carriers has previously resulted in losses of millions of dollars to the Estate due to later denials by the insurance companies for violating the claims reporting provisions of the insurance policies.
