Aliʻi is a word in some Polynesian languages denoting chiefly status in the Hawaiian Islands and the Samoa Islands. A similar word with the same concept is found in other Polynesian societies. In the Cook Islands, an ariki is a high chief and the House of Ariki is a parliamentary house. In New Zealand a Māori ariki held a rank of nobility and the Maori monarch held the title Te Arikinui similar to Ke Aliʻi Nui in Hawaiian.
