He was the great grandson of Kaumualiʻi, the last king of Kauaʻi, educated at ʻIolani School (formerly St. Alban's College), Punahou, St. Matthew's School (San Mateo, CA.) and the Royal Agriculture College in Cirencester, England. When his aunt, Queen Liliʻuokalani was deposed, he joined the revolutionaries, tried to restore the monarchy, was arrested, charged with treason, imprisoned and pardoned. He married Elizabeth Kahanu Kaauwai in 1896, daughter of a Maui chief, and was Hawaiʻi's elected delegate to congress, serving from 1903-1921. He died at his Waikīkī Beach home of heart disease, January 7, 1922, at age 50, the last Hawaiian, by birth right and designation who could have claimed the throne of Hawaiʻi. Translator unknown.
