LILIHA (KUINI LILIHA)

________________________________________________________________________
THE CHIEFLY MAUI HERTIAGE OF LILIHA

Liliha was the hanai (adopted) daughter of Hoapili-'ulu-maheihei. Governess of Oahu 1829-1831. Today, she is believed to be his natural daughter. This happens all the time to hanai children and to some degree it is what is supposed to happen.

However, the facts of her genealogy are that she is the daughter of Kalaniulumoku II and Loeau, who were themselves full blooded brother and sister (children of Kalaniulumoku I and his own mother the venerable kapu chiefess Kalanikuiokikilo). This makes Liliha a ninaupio child, a chiefess of the highest possible princely rank in the system of Hawaiian chiefs. She is,in fact, one of the last ninaupi'o persons to be born in Hawaii. The only other ninaupio chief to be born this late in Hawaii's history is probably Akaka Kukalani (the daughter of the brother-sister marriage of King Kahahana's son and daughter).

Before Liliha and Akaka Kukalani, the ninaupi'o chiefs were:

* Keopuolani (wife of Kamehameha) - daughter of Kiwalao (Kiwala'o) and Liliha Kekuipoiwa (Kekuipoiwa III), who were full blooded brother and sister, not half blooded as suggested by some genealogies. The fact that she was ninaupi'o is the reason why her husband Kamehameha was required to prostrate fully face down to the ground in her presence.

* Kalanikauiokikilo - daughter of King Kamehamehanui Ailua and his sister Kalola, the children of King Keakaulike. Kalola was also the mother of the above stated Liliha Kekuipoiwa and Kiwala'o.

It is this Kalanikauiokikilo who mated with her own son from her father to give birth Liliha's father and mother, this is the order:
(1) King Kekaulike + Kekuipoiwa Nui (half-brother and sister) = Kamehamehanui and Kalola (son and daughter)
(2) Kamehamehanui + Kalola = Kalanikauiokikilo (ninaupio chiefess)
(3) Kamehamehanui + Kalanikauikikilo (his daughter) = Kalaniulumoku I
(4) Kalaniulumoku I + Kalanikuiokikilo (his mother) = Kalaniulumoku II & Loeau (son and daughter)
(5) Kalaniulumoku II & Loeau = Liliha

We understand now that this is the real reason that Liliha commanded such respect in her lifetime and enjoyed many privileges amd also why her several husbands were of such high rank.  Everyone knew that she was only hanai to Hoapili-ulu-maheihei and that in her veins flowed the ninaupio blood of theof the Maui royal family ran through her veins, so she was indulged and forgiven often.

Her true genealogy is the reason why her daughter with Namaile was named "Jane Loeau", after her own true biolical mother "Loeau". Also, this is why Jane Loeau was educated at the Royal School. Liliha's true genealogy is given in two works by noted Hawaiian genealogist S.L.K. Pelioholani.

KALANIHELEMAIILUNA

Kalanihelemaiiluna is sometimes called "Kalanihelemaiiluna Paki". This is Bernice Pauhi Bishop's grandfather.

The identity of Kalanihelemaiiluna's mother has been corrupted, degraded or intentionally altered over the years to be the incorrect "Kukamano" in many genealogies. This Kukamano is no longer recognized as being the exact same person as Kalanikauiokikilo Kekumanomanookekapu in these incorrect genealogies. This mistake that also appears in Forander.

Ka Makaainana (newspaper) JULY 20, 1896 is an example of a well-circulated but incorrect genealogy giving the WRONG Father-Mother pair for Kalanihelemailuna.

The identity problem of the mother is associated with the fact that understanding Kalanikauiokikilo Kekumanomanookekapu to be Kalanihelemaiiluna's mother means knowing about the extensive inter-family marriages of the Maui royal family.

Clearly, the family history and genealogy of Berinice Pauhi Bishop, who was probably the richest Hawaiian person in her time, were adjusted to avoid people knowing about the extensive pi'o marriages in the family background of Bernice Bishop (several consecutive and recent generations of immediate family memebers to each other). The practise would have been considered a barbaric and embaressing shame to her among the dominating Amgo-American establishment that had more or less taken cultural control of Hawaii during her lifetime.

(King of Hawaii) KEAWEIKEKAHIALIIOKAMOKU (KEAWE, KEAWE-IKEKAHI-ALII-O-KAMOKU )

NOTE: THERE ARE EXTENSIVE COMMENTS (BELOW) ON THIS PERSON
** YOU MAY GO TO DIRECTLY SPOUSE  AND CHILDREN BY SCROLLING PAST THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS **
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keaweikekahialliokamoku (King of Hawaii Island) is not the son of Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu. The correct father of King Keawe is Kanalohanauikawela (Keawehanauikawalu).

Keakealaniwahine is the mother of Keaweikekahialliokamou. The father is disputed as follows:

FATHER#1: Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu
FATHER#2: Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela)

The correct father is Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), according to SLK Peleioholani, who was, in his lifetime, the leader (High Chief) of the senior lineage of Keawe through his great grandfather Keawemauhili, the son of Kalaninuiammamao.

Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu may have looked to some people like a variation of the name correct name Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), which could have lead to the misunderstanding.  To understand the lineage and the reasons for this frequent mistake, it is useful to review the story of his great grandmother from Kauai, the High Chiefess, Kawaihalaua, a sacred kapu chiefess.

KAWAIHALAU'S LEGACY: HER CHILDREN
by DEAN KEKOOLANI
based on the genealogies of his great-great grandfather SLK Peleioholani
______________________________________________________________

FROM SLK PELEIOHOLANI:
"Akahiilikapu (w) married Kahakumakalina (k); born were Kawaihalaniwailuau** and Keliiohiohi (k) for whom the prostrating kapu of Pihenaakalani for these chiefs this chiefly kapus of Pihenaakalani."

Kawaihalau was from Kauai, the daughter of the Ruling Chief (King) of Kauai. When she married the Keawe-a-Umi, son of Umi, grandson of Liloa, Ruling Chief (King) of Hawaii Island, Kawaihalau brought with her one of the most revered and sought after kapus in the Hawaiian islands: the Pihenaakalani or "prostrating kapu". This kapu originated on Kauai and was one of oldest in the Hawaiian Islands and very was recognized by all chiefs throughout the islands. Before Kawaihalau brought the kapu to the Big Island, It belonged exclusively to the Kauai chiefs and was hereditary. This great kapu It compelled all those present to lay face down in the presence of the Pihenaakalani, no matter their rank or station. Ruling Chiefs (Kings) were compelled to prostrate before lesser chiefs who possessed the Pihenaakalani kapu.

There were other, more extreme and presumably impressive (even shocking) kapus (such as the "wela" or burning kapu) held by other chiefs around the Hawaiian Islands. But the Pihenaakalani was prized above most others for the great show of respect and honor it produced immediately under all circumstances. Further, there was great utility in being able to force people to the ground with one's mere presence (there is the story of a chief with the Pihenaakalani who was able to stop a military battle by simply arriving at it and walking on to the field, all the combatants had to cease movement and drop with face to the ground). This was a highly sought after and coveted kapu around the islands.

The children of Kawaihalau were chiefs of Hawaii through there father(s):

FATHER: Keawe-a-Umi, Ruling Chief (King) of Hawaii Island (Son of Umi, Grandson of Liloa)
CHILDREN: Kanaloaakuaana (k.), Kanaloakuakawiea (k.), Kanaloakapulehu

FATHER: Laeanuikaumanamana (Laea-Nui-Kaumanamana)
CHILDREN: Kaikilanimaipanio (w.), Kauluonana (k.)

These offspring passed the Pihenaakalani to the kings and queens of Hawaii as follows:

King Lonoikamakahiki and his wife Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna of Hawaii Island had no children of their own together. But each took these children of Kawaihalau as secondary spouses to produce additional offspring who possessed the Pihenaakalani.

King Lonoikamakahiki took Kaikilanimaipanio (daughter of Kawaihalau) as a wife and they produced Kanaloahanauikawela, who became the father of Keaweikekahialliomoku (King of Hawaii).

Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna took all three male children of  Kawaihalau as husbands and produced the following chiefs:

From Kanaloakuaana - Keakealanikane (Mo'i, Ruler of Hawai'i)
From Kanaloakapulehu - Kalani-o-Umi (w.) wife of Kauluonana, Kawaihalau's son from Laeanuikaumanamana
From Kanaloakuakawiea - Kealiiokalani (w.) Wife and half-sister of Keakealanikane

NOTE: Confusion arises in many genealogies concerning the correct paternal line of Keaweikekahialiiomoki (King of Hawaii) because of the similarities between the names "Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna" and "Kaikilanimaipanio". Also there is more confusion cause by the similarities betwee the names "Kanaloakapulehu" and Kanaloakuakawiea (who is also called "Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu" in some genealogies. This similarity in names is consistent with naming pratices among chiefs of Hawaii. There are often several chiefs with the same name, all related by blood sonehow, living in the same period.

Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna's lineage is a direct line of Hawaii chiefs, with some rare infusions from Oahu and Maui, but with little or no blood from Kauai.

The bloodline of the Kauai chiefs recognized as among the most distinguished, coming as it did from the ancient line of Northern chiefs (Kauai and Oahu)  whose royal genealogies reached farther back in time and with greater accuracy than Hawaii and Maui. The blending of Kauai and the BIg Island through Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna, King Lonoikamakahiki, King Keawe-a-Umi and Kawaihalaua was a major advance in prestige and honor for the Big Island chiefs and royal line.
