Kekoolani Genealogy of Descendants of the Ruling Chiefs of Hawai'i

Notes


(Ali'i-o-Hilo) KUAHUIA (KU-AHU-IA)

/Kuahuia/ (Ali'i-o-Hilo)


(Ali'i-o-Hilo) ('I Chief, Ninaupi'o) MOKULANI (MOKU)

Forander incorrectly states that  Mokulani's father is Kuahuia (Ali'i-o-Hilo), a grandsonson of 'I.

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.

Some other genealogiesa incorrectly say the wife of MOKULANI is NIAU, not PAPAIKANIAUNUI. SLK Peleioholani can be considered authorative (the correct mother is PAPAIKANIAUNUI) as this is his actual family.


PAPAIKANIAU (PAPA'IIKANI'AU, PAPAIKANIAUNUI, LONOIKANIAU)

From Solomon Peleioholani (JOHN LIWAI ENA genealogy):

"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."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Papaikaniaunui is the name used by S.M. Kamakau.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ABOUT PAPAIKANIAU'S DAUGHTER ULULANI

Kamakau, like many others, says that Niau (daughter of Kuimeheua) is the mother of Ululani Nui. This contradicts the teaching of S.L.K. Peleioholani that the mother of Ululani is Papaikaniau. We know Peleioholani is correct because this is his family line and Ululani is his great grandmother.

It's easy to see where the mistake came from simply by looking at the names.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


KAMAKAOLANI (KAMAKAOLANI I)

Kamakaolani is given as a son of Mokulani and Papaikaniau by SLK Peleioholani. He is the brother of Ululani.


(Ali'i-o-Hilo) ('I Chief, Ninaupi'o) MOKULANI (MOKU)

Forander incorrectly states that  Mokulani's father is Kuahuia (Ali'i-o-Hilo), a grandsonson of 'I.

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.

Some other genealogiesa incorrectly say the wife of MOKULANI is NIAU, not PAPAIKANIAUNUI. SLK Peleioholani can be considered authorative (the correct mother is PAPAIKANIAUNUI) as this is his actual family.


(Chiefess of Ka'u and Puna) KAMEHAIKU (KAMEHAIKU I, KAMEHA'IKŪ, KA-MEHA-'AI-KŪ))

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Look at Manonoikauakapekulani (k). Here are the chiefly children to Kaiawa (w), Hilo, Hawaii, own parent of Malaea (li), wife of John li; here are the offsprings Kahaleaukoa and Kamamaluhaeoku.
2. Keliihuluhulu (k), Puna, Hawaii
3. Keawehawaii (k), Lahaina, Maui, father of Kuaihelani Parker
4. Halalo (k), Puna/ Hawaii, father of Nawahiokalaniopuu
5. Kamehaiku (w) of Kona, Hawaii
6. Kapuaakuni (k) of Ka'u, Hawaii
7. Lupenui (k) of Ka'u, Hawaii
8. Kahuhu (w) of Kealakekaha, Hamakua, Hawaii, forebearer of L. M. Kekupuohikapulikoiiko
9. Kamaio (k), Paauhau, Hawaii

-----------------------------------------------------------
Another genealogy incorrectly makes her the daughter of "Kama" (k.) and "Laioha" (w.). S.L.K. Peleioholani makes clear that in thsi generation there was a chiefess named Kamehaiku who was the grandaughter of Kahekili. It is highly doubtful that there was another chiefess of the same name of high enough rank to marry the great-grandson of Peleiholani. This other genealogy is therefore incorrect.

The bad genealogy is Ka Makaainana (newspaper) AUGUST 17, 1896 "Mookuauhau Ali'i: Na Iwikuamoo o Hawaii Nei Mai Kahiko Mai". It gives the wrong parents, but the correct marriage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The genealogy of Hoapili Kanehoa tells us she was a chiefess of Ka'u and Puna.

KEAWEIKEKAHIMAKAOI (KEAWE-IKEKAHI-MAKA-O-I)

From Solomon Peleioholani:
Makuakaumanamana (k) was married to Kapohelemai (w); born was l-k; l-k married Kaouilikookeakalani (w); born were the chiefly children Kalanikumaikiekie (w), Kaupekamoku (w), Kanaloa (w), and Keaweikekahimakaoi (k).

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" (above) 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.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Keaweikekahimakoi also pio married his sister Kanaloa.


KALANIKUMAIKIEKIE (AHIA, AHIA KA-LANI-KU-MAI-KI'EKI'E)

Kalanikumaikiekie married her brother Keaweikekahimakaoi. The offspring, called Mokulani, was therefore a Ninaupi'io chief, a chief of the highest possible rank.

From Solomon Peleioholani:

HAWAIIAN:
Makuakaumanamana (k) hoaoia ia Kapohelemai (w) hanau o l-k, l-k hoao ia Kaouilikookeakalani (w) hanau na mamo Kalanikumaikiekie (w), Kaupekamoku (w), Kanaloa (w), ame Keaweikekahimakaoi (k).

'I Chiefess of Hilo, Chiefess of Koolau, Oahu PIILANI (PIILANIWAHINE)

Piilaniwahine is identified as the daughter of Kalanikaumakaowakea and Kaneakalau by SLK Peleioholani in his ROBINSON FAMILY genealogy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):

Look at Kamalalawalu (k), who married Piilani (w) of the chiefly class of Hilo, Hawaii and Kualoa, Koolau, Oahu. Six chiefly children were born by Kamalalawalu o Maui that raised the chiefly ancestral lines of the chiefs of Maui of Kama.

(a) Kauhiakama (k)
(b) Kalakauaehuakama (k)
(c) Paikalakauaakama (k)
(d) Piilanikapokulaniokama (w)
(e) Ka'unohoikapelakapuokakae (w)
(f) Kekaikuihaiaokeku'imanono (w).

Look at Kamalalawalu.
Here below are a large number of descendants that are living:

--------------------------------------

She is descended from Kila, son of Moikeha according to Kamakau.


(Mo'i, Ruler of Maui) KAMALALAWALU (KAMA-LALA-WALU)

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):

Look at Kihaapiilani (k) who married Kumaka (w), chiefess of Hana. Born was Kamalalawalu (k); Kamalalawalu was the chief of Maui.

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):

UMIKALAKAUA-A-KAMA

This is one of two children for Kamalalawalu and Piilani which are hardly seen anywhere in the genealogies. Gender is clarified as MALE by Kamakau in "Tales and Traditions".


(Ali'i-o-Ka'u) KALANINUIIAMAMAO (KALANI-NUI-'I-A-MAMAO, KA'I'IMAMAO, LONO-A-KEAWE)

"Lono-a-Keawe" is an alternate name/title from Mary Pukui.

This is the chief for whom the famous Kumulipo chant (a mele inoa, or name chant) was recited a birth.

He was the head of the senior Keawe lineage. Through his mother,'s lineage he received various honors and kapus from the islands of Maui and Oahu. He married his full sister Kauhiokeka. He then married his daughter Kekaulike, who was born from that marriage to his sister. The child produced from this marriage to his daughter was the reknown chief Keawemauili whose famous "intertwined kapus" wer produced by his complicated lineage.

He was assasinated by his brother, Ke'eaumoku-nui (head of the junior Keawe line), having had issue.

ABOUT KEAWE
From "The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Kalniopuuikapali-o-Molilele-ma-wai-o-Ahukini-Kau-Hawaii Ena"
(S.L.K. Pelioholani)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Look at the chiefly children of Keawe (k), King of Hawaii: (1) Children Kalaninuiiamamao (k), Kekohimoku (w), Keakakauhiwaamoku (k), five children of Molokai, including Kumukoa.

Look at Kalaninuiiamamao (k); he was the own father of King Kalaniopuu (k) and his children.

Kalaninuiamamao (k) married Kamakaimoku (w) and was born Kalaniopuu (k) King of Hawaii, Ka'u, Puna, and Kona, and was born Keaouakalanikupuapaikalaninui (k), father of Kamehameha I, but Kamehameha was not by him; Keaoua was married for seven years to his chiefly wife, but he did not have a child so Keaweaheulu (k), Kameeiamoku (k), Kamanawa (k) got Kahekiliahumanu (k), King of Maui, to come to Hawaii where Kekuiapoiwa was living and in this mating had that child, a famous conqueror, the seeker of chiefs, leader of the chiefs and in that did the chiefs increase.

Kalaninuiamamao (k) hoao niaupio married Kauhiokeka (w), his sister; born was Kekaulikeikawekiuonalani (w), ancestor of S. L. Kalaniomaiheuila Peleioholani (k) and Laura M Kekupuohikapulikoliko (w) and Kahiwaokalani (w), grandmother of the princes D. Kawananakoa and J. Kalanianaole.

Kalaninuiamamao (k) married his own daughter, Kekaulikeikawekiuonaiani (w)- born was Keawemauhili, who was iwiiapuu and iwilakee due to his kapu.

Look at the chief Kalaniopuu (k), he is the own grandson of Umiulaikaahumanu (w) (true chiefly class) and Kuanuuanu (k) of Waianae, Oahu.  Look closely at Kalaninuiiamamao, the own father of Kalaniopuu (k).  A high chief. And here are the chiefly descendants that are seen in the broad daylight.


(Kekohimoku, Kauhiakeka, Kauhiokaka, Kalanihoaono-o-kahikoloa-o-kekaulike) KAUHIOKEKA

S.L.K. Peleioholani gives her full name as Kauhiokekakaikeakakauhinamoku.

S.L.K. Peleioholani calls her Kauhiokeka. She is the daughter of Lonomaaikanaka and Keawe, not Lonomaaikanaka and Hulu (a Maui chief).

She married her full brother Kalaninuiamamao.

Forander calls her Kekohimoku.

From "The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Kalniopuuikapali-o-Molilele-ma-wai-o-Ahukini-Kau-Hawaii Ena":

Kalaninuiamamao (k) hoao niaupio married Kauhiokeka (w), his sister; born was Kekaulikeikawekiuonalani (w), ancestor of S. L. Kalaniomaiheuila Peleioholani (k) and Laura M Kekupuohikapulikoliko (w) and Kahiwaokalani (w), grandmother of the princes D. Kawananakoa and J. Kalanianaole.
