Bishop museum was set up and is run -- as far as I can recall -- by the Bishop Trust established by Eunice Bishop who was descended from Hawaiian royalty. The Bishop Trust oversees the Bishop estates that are leased in support of the Kamehameha School and other projects to support the native people of Hawaii. There have been some scandals concerning the trustees to the estate, but I believe it is still run in essence for the benefit of the Hawaiian people.
