NI'IHAU

The identity of Humehume's commoner mother is not certain. The name "Ni'ihau" occasionally comes up in histories.


Kalaniana'ole (Ali'i-o-Hilo) KUHIO

Alii of Hilo


Kekaulike KINOIKI (KINOIKI I)

The mother of KINOIKI is disputed. We believe it is the mother named in the KA MAKAAINANA article. According to information in "Hawaiian Genealogies" (Pukui), Kinoiki was a po'olua by Kaumualii and Kamakahiki.


(Ali'i-o-Hilo LA'AKEA (ELELULE, ELELULE LA'AKEA, ELEELE, LA'AKEAELELULU, ELELULE-A-KEAWEMAUHILI)

From Solomon Peleioholani:

Kalanikumaikiekie (w) niaupio married her brother Keaweikekahimakaoi; born was Mokulanl (k), high chief governing Hilo; Mokulani married Papaikaniaunui (w), wife of Kaulahea. King of Maui; born was Ululaninui (w), who married Keawemauhili (k); born was Keaweokahikona (k), grandfather of S. L. K. Peleioholani, first son.

Keawemauhili was reknown because he possessed many intertwined kapus. His name means "intertwined or knotted". His wife's father Mokulani was a ninau-pio chief (the highest god-like rank for a sacred chief because his mother and father were full-blooded brother and sister). This is why the son Keaweokahikona was of judged to be of sufficiently high rank to marry and sire children with the great Kalanikauiokikilo, the highest ranking sacred ninau-pio chief alive, and the last ever of that rank to live. The next closest ranking chief was her niece Keopulani, wife of Kamehameha the Conqueror and mother of Kamehameha II and Kamehameha III.

FORNANDER:
"Certain it is that during the summer of this year (1790), Kamehameha, assuming the style of " Moi" of Hawaii, sent to Keawemauhili of Hilo and Keoua-Kuahuula of Kau to furnish him with canoes and troops for a contemplated invasion of Maui. Keawemauhili complied with the summons of Karnehameha, and sent a large force of men and canoes under command of his own sons Keaweokahikwna, Eleele or Elelule, K
