Kanipahu
Kanipahu was an ancient Hawaiian chief. He was of the Pili line. Kanipahu was a son of Chief Kaniuhu and Hiliamakani. After Kanipahu lived on Molokaʻi and it was discovered that he was a chief, he was taken (as husband) by Hualani, the ruling chiefess of Molokai. One of the neverforgotten fact of Kanipahuʻs descendants was this marriage. Hualani was the great-granddaughter of Nuakea, who was the granddaughter of Maweke. Beside Hualani, of Molakai and Oahu descent above mentioned, he also married his half-aunt, Alaʻikauakoko, who at one time, whether previously or subsequently cannot now be ascertained, was the wife of Lakona of Oahu. With one of them he fathered two sons: Kanaloa—father of Kalapana of Hawaiʻi—and Kalahumoku I, ancestor of Akahiʻakuleʻana. David Malo said Alaʻikauakoko was the mother of Kalapana, making Kalapana Kanipahu's son instead of grandson. Malo skips this generation, showing Kalapana as the son of Kanipahu.David Malo, ''Hawaiian Antiquities'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kanaloa
In the traditions of ancient Hawaii, Kanaloa is a god symbolized by the squid or by the octopus, and is typically associated with Kāne. It is also an alternative name for the island of Kahoolawe. In legends and chants, Kāne and Kanaloa are portrayed as complementary powers. For example, whereas Kāne was called during the canoe building, Kanaloa was called while the canoe was being sailed. Likewise, Kāne governed the northern edge of the ecliptic while Kanaloa governed its southern edge, Kanaloa is "the subconscious to Kāne's conscious". In this way, they represent a divine duality of wild and taming forces similar to (by Georges Dumézil, et al.) in Indo-European chief god-pairs like Odin–Týr and Mitra–Varuna, or the more widely known ''yin and yang'' of Taoism. Kanaloa is also traditionally depicted as an ocean god, hence his association with seamanship, or cephalopods.Beckwith However, there are also interpretations that see Kanaloa as subordinate to Kāne.

Kalahumoku I (Kalahuimoku I) was a chief of Hāna. Kalahumoku was born either on Molokai or the Big Island to Kanipahu and Hualani, Hereditary High Chiefess of Molokai. Kalahumoku’s brother was Kanaloa, father of Kalapana of Hawaiʻi. David Malo wrote Kalapana was Kalahumoku's brother,David Malo. ''Hawaiian Antiquities''. but this was not true because Malo had ignored a generation. The two brothers had been brought up in retirement in the countryside of the Big Island, without the knowledge of Kamaiole, their father's usurper, because if Kamaiole had known them to be the sons of the chieftain, he would have put them to death. Sometime after or before Kalapana came to the throne, Kalahumoku settled at Kauwiki on Maui and became a chieftain of Hāna. Kalahumoku married Laamea and begot a son, Iki-a-Laamea. Iki-a-Laamea married Kalamea and begot a son, Kamanawa-a-Kalamea. Kamanawa-a-Kalamea married Kaina (Kaiua) and begot Onakaina (Ua'kaiua). Onakaia married Kuamakani and had Kan ...

Royalty Of Hawaii (island)
The Hawaiian Kingdom, or Kingdom of Hawaiʻi ( Hawaiian: ''Ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina''), was a sovereign state located in the Hawaiian Islands. The country was formed in 1795, when the warrior chief Kamehameha the Great, of the independent island of Hawaiʻi, conquered the independent islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi and unified them under one government. In 1810, the whole Hawaiian archipelago became unified when Kauaʻi and Niʻihau joined the Hawaiian Kingdom voluntarily. Two major dynastic families ruled the kingdom: the House of Kamehameha and the House of Kalākaua. The kingdom won recognition from the major European powers. The United States became its chief trading partner and watched over it to prevent other powers (such as Britain and Japan) from asserting hegemony. In 1887 King Kalākaua was forced to accept a new constitution in a coup by the Honolulu Rifles, an anti-monarchist militia. Queen Liliʻuokalani, who succeeded Kalākaua in 1891, ...
