Indigenous Council of Chiefs

The Indigenous Council of Chiefs serves as an esteemed advisory body under the Privy Council; First Voice of the Celestial Council offering guidance and wisdom to the King of Hawaiʻi. Composed of respected chiefs and tribal leaders from Indigenous and First Nations peoples around the world, the Council provides a bridge of cultural exchange, unity, and shared ancestral knowledge. Their role is not governmental but advisory, honoring traditions of leadership, sovereignty, and mutual respect. Through their counsel, the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi embraces the voices of Indigenous nations, fostering solidarity and strengthening ties among peoples who share a deep connection to land, heritage, and spiritual responsibility.
