Kahoowahaokalani

Kahoowahaokalani

Kahookinaowaha-o-kalani was the 17th Alii Aimoku of Oahu. He ruled as titular King or chief of Oahu. Sometimes referred to as Kahoowaha for short. He was the son of Kanekapu-a-Kakuhihewa, 16th Alii Aimoku of Oahu, and of his wife Kalua. He was recognised as the Moi of Oahu after his father was dead. His life and reign have furnished no theme for bards or raconteurs, from which historian infers that peace and prosperity was uninterrupted. He was the first Oahuan monarch of the Kumuhonua-Elepuukahonua-Maweke line, since Haka of Oahu, to sit on the throne. He descends from Haka's granddaughter, through his mother Kalua. His distant maternal cousins includes the descendant of Ilihiwalani, who ruled as the District Chieftains of southwestern Kauai. His wife was Princess Kawelolauhuki of Kauai, whose pedigree is not clearly stated, but who was undoubtedly either a daughter or a niece of Kawelomahamhaia of Kauai. This union, along with Kahoowaha's own descent from Kumuhonua, no doubt boosted the kapu and power of the royal family there onward because it combined the sacred bloods of the Oahuan royal family with those of the closely related Kauaian royal family. Their son was Kauakahi-a-Kahoowaha, who would follow his father as Moi. He would have the blood of most of the sons and grandsons of Maweke, the blue blood alii, flowing through his vein.
