Keʻoloʻewa was a Native Hawaiian and a Alii nui of Molokai, High Chief of Molokai (a Hawaiian island).

Aliʻi Nui Of Molokai
The ''Alii nui'' were high chiefs of the four main Hawaiian Islands. The rulers of Molokai, like those of the other Hawaiian islands, claimed descent from god Wākea. The traditional history of Molokai is fragmentary. The island was not of major political importance. Its importance lay in the connections its royal family made by marriage, and, in later years, the reputation of its sorcery and '' kahunas''. Molokai is the fifth largest of the eight main Hawaiian isles, and its size hindered it in its struggle for power and survival among the other islands of Maui, Oahu, Kauai and Hawaii. By the end of the 17th century, as interisland conflict grew worse and worse, Molokai suffered many blows from the powerful monarchs of other isles; notably Kapiiohookalani, Peleioholani and Kahekili II. Molokai finally, and completely, succumbed to the might of Maui prior to the end of the ancient Hawaiian era. List of ''Alii'' of Molokaʻi * KamauauaCatherine C. Summers. "Molokai: A Site Su ...

Maweke
According to the Hawaiian chants, Chief Maweke (also spelled Māweke in Hawaiian; Hawaiian pronunciation: ''MAH-WEH-KEH'') was a chief of the highest known rank who lived in the 11th century. He is described in the legends as a wizard (or priest, '' kahuna'' in Hawaiian language) and an ''Aliʻi'' (a noble) of "the blue blood" (a Hawaiian nobleman of the highest rank). He was an ancestor of the royalty of the island of Oahu. He was not of Hawaiian origin, but came to Hawaii from Tahiti and was famous for his knowledge of black magic. His famous ancestor was Nanaulu. His parents are named in the chants as Kekupahaikala (father) and Maihikea (mother). When he arrived to Oahu, Maweke erected a temple to the god called Kanaloa. Maweke married a woman named Naiolaukea (Naiolakea).

Marriage Although some chiefs had many consorts in ancient Hawaii, the only known consort of Mualani was a man named Kaomealani, whose parents remain unknown to us today because their names are not recorded in ancient chants.
