The Kingdom of Hawai`i Royal Accreditation Commission (KOHRAC) was formed January 2018, by HRM King Edmund K. Paki-Silva Jr.

HRM Silva Personal Overview

By its very nature, KOHRAC is a new organization, yet it is rapidly gaining international attention.

KOHRAC’s Advisory Board has established quality Indigenous monitoring tools and superior Indigenous testing methods which blend seamlessly into the Indigenous culture and its normal education process.

The Indigenous way is not inferior to Western education; however, it has been very difficult to measure certain aspects of the Way of Knowing. It is focused on the participant and where they end up within themselves, not on outside curriculum. A determination of progress is through mentorship programs where the teacher and student are considered equal participants.

KOHRAC supports this cross-cultural understanding of one another and sees it as a path to world peace.

King Edmund K. Paki-Silva Jr., Ali`i Nui Mō`ī, Sovereign King of The Kingdom of Hawai`i, has issued the decree setting forth the Commission and its high standards. The Kingdom of Hawai`i seeks to provide a bridge for all Indigenous which includes Indigenous, Aboriginal, and First Nations Peoples.

King Kamehameha III reigned from 1825 to 1854, nearly thirty years. In his own words, he described The Kingdom of Hawai`i by saying, “My kingdom is one of literacy. My people are the most literate in the world.”

At that moment in history, Hawai`i stood as an outstanding example of higher education. Hawai`i was the most literate country, even more so than Great Britain, France, Belgium or the United States. You see, Hawaiians didn’t and still don’t see an end to learning. Learning is one of life’s basic rights and privileges. It is an approach to life—the way to gain wisdom.

Learning for Indigenous Peoples everywhere contains the essence of life. It is filled with connectiveness. The Way of Knowing is the manner of Indigenous knowledge. It directly and intuitively gives knowledge and affirms truth, correctness and righteousness. It is apparent where a life-long love of learning is involved. First Nation cultures seek after truth which is affirmed by spirit. This “seeking” feeds a thirst for knowledge and understanding. The First Nation mind is open and explorative.

KOHRAC has developed and introduces here an Indigenous Intuitive Education Model (IIE). This model respects Indigenous knowledge and the methods used in developing the Way of Knowing in Indigenous cultures. To date, it has been a hindrance to try to directly integrate Western education measurements with the Way of Knowing and methods incorporated into Indigenous culture and life. The IIE provides a bridge where the two worlds can meet and understand one another.

King Keli`i's Doctoral Dissertation on Indigenous Intuitive Education Models has been adopted as major reference literature for Undergraduate and Graduate Degree Programs in Indigenous Knowledge by the School of Education and Social Sciences at at RCST Rockfield College of Sciences and Technology Switzerland.

The current reigning monarch of The Kingdom of Hawai`i, Edmund Keli`i Paki-Silva Jr., Ali`i Nui Mō`ī, Sovereign King, is just as staunchly involved in education as the key to a better future for Hawaiians and Indigenous world-wide. King Keli`i ‘s own education has brought the two worlds together with an extensive curriculum vitae from Western Education, in a blend with his royal education as the future king when he was a young man.

His effective leadership is best executed when the people are drawn naturally to a leader. Such is the case for Edmund Keli`i Silva Jr. A unique combination of royal family upbringing, a rich, varied experiences politically, international relationships, and global opportunities, have formed strong characteristics in providing leadership.

The Way of Knowing directly and intuitively gives knowledge and affirms truth, correctness and righteousness. It develops around a life-long love of learning.

One of King Keli`i’s key dissertations is the basis for KOHRAC, Indigenous Intuitive Education Model: Exploring Learning Methods of First Nations Culture and Traditions – A Case Study of The Kingdom of Hawai‘i, (©2019 Edmund K. Silva Jr. - RCST Switzerland, all rights reserved).

An earlier dissertation, PhD. in Political Science. His Dissertation, The Rule of Ancient Hawaiian, European and American Laws and the Role of Justice – Bludgeons, Blunders and Bloodletting, (©1996 Edmund K. Silva Jr, all rights reserved), was also key in developing some of his educational philosophies.

It is from King Keli‘i’s extensive studies in Business, Economics, Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisher, Political Science, Treaty Laws, Laws of Nations, International Laws, Constitutional Laws, Asian Philosophy, Ancestral Laws, Traditional Laws, Biblical Laws and Hawaiian Culture that drives his philosophy about education – that education creates perfect knowledge and ultimately becomes wisdom.

Ali’i Nui Mō‘ī, King Keli‘i, has established the Aloha ‘Aina Project. The mission of the Aloha ‘Aina Project is rebuilding the Kingdom of Hawai’i into a vibrant, healthy and prosperous society, by using a comprehensive approach to raise and improve the overall quality of life in the Hawaiian Islands.

Early in his reign, King Silva experienced a Vision of a ‘true’ Peace Center built in the Hawaiian Islands. Since that vision, the Peace Center plans have gone forward to unite all nations to stand in solidarity as one voice and one people to protect the earth, from land to sea. It is time to keep the world safe from unprecedented destruction that would change the landscape of our planet. This Peace Center will truly heal the hearts of its nations.
