Nuʻakea was the Princess of Oahu and Queen consort of Molokai.

She was born to Prince Keaunui, Chief of Ewa and his wife Wehelani. Through her father, she was the granddaughter of Maweke, the Blue-blood alii of the ancient line of Nanaulu. This Nanaulu was the fourteenth generation descendant of Wakea and according to legend, it was his family that originally discovered the Hawaii isles and migrated there from the Southern Polynesian islands. Her father was the King of Ewa and it was he who dugged the channel of the ancient Pearl River (see Pearl Harbor). Laakona, progenitor of the Ewa chiefs, and Moi, Kaula (prophet) of Kaupeepee, were her brothers. His cousins were Kumuhonua, Olopana, Moikeha, Hainakolo, and Hinakaimauliawa

She lived during the second migratory period. She married into the great Kamauaua family on the island of Molokai not far from the island of Oahu. Her husband Keoloewa was the second in the family, but was the heir since her brother-in-law had no interest in government. She gave birth to a daughter named Kapau-a-Nuakea who succeeded to the sovereignty of Molokai after her husband's death. From this daughter, she and her husband were noted as the head and progenitor of numerous family throughout the islands.
