Mauiloa
Mauiloa was a High Chief (''Aliʻi'') of Maui. He is mentioned in legends and old chants and was likely a semi-historical person or character from myths. He had control over portions of Western Maui and relied on the allegiance of many district chiefs. Mauiloa was a contemporary of Laamaikahiki on Kauai. From the time of Mauiloa to the time of Kaulahea I, there must have been troubled times on the island of Maui. Name of Mauiloa can be translated as "Great/Magnificent Maui". The beginning of Mauiloa's rule was marked by countless battles to establish authority from many of the district chieftains of Maui. Mauiloa was a son and successor of High Chief Hanalaʻa. His mother was Chiefess Mahuia. Mauiloa had married Kauhua and had a son Alau of Maui. He was a successor of his father.

Hanalaʻa
Hanalaa was a High Chief who lived on the island of Maui in ancient Hawaii. Hanalaʻa had control over portions of Western Maui and is mentioned in legends and chants, where his family tree is given. Family Hanalaʻa was a son of Palena of Maui and his wife, Hikawai. Maternal grandparents of Hanalaʻa were Limaloa-Lialea and Kauilaianapu (Kauilaʻanapa). Hanalaʻa succeeded his father as king of Maui. Hanalaʻa was a noted chieftain, whom both the Mauian and Hawaiian chiefs contended for as their ancestor under the varying names of Hanalaʻa-nui and Hanalaʻa-iki, asserting that Palena was the father of twins who bore those names or a mistake could have been made in the genealogies. It is probable both Hanalaʻas were the same person. It is said that Hanalaʻa-nui married Mahuia and begat Lanakawai, who then begat Laʻau. Laʻau married Kukamolimolialoha and begat Pilikaʻaiea Pilikaʻaiea (or Pili-auau; the short form: Pili) was ''Aliʻi Nui'' of Hawaiʻi. He was a sov ...

Alo Of Maui
In Hawaiian legends, Alo is a name of a High Chief that ruled as the Moʻi of Maui. He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Maui. Sometimes he was called Alau. There is no any archaeological evidence for him. He was born ca. 1186. He is mentioned by Abraham Fornander, who was both ethnologist and judge. Family Alo was a son and successor of King Mauiloa, who ruled over Western Maui. His mother was named Kauhua, but her parents are not known to us. He was thus a grandson of noted Chief Hanalaa, great-grandson of Palena, great-great grandson of mythical King Haho and great-great-great grandson of Paumakua of Maui, who was the mythical ancestor of chiefs of Maui. He followed his father as sovereign of Maui. No famous legends remember Alo or his wife, who was likely very noble. In one chant, his wife is named Moeiekana (or Moekeaea). He fathered Prince Kuhimana and daughter Kaumana I, and they two were married. They were twins and their union was sacred. His son ...

Māui (Hawaiian Mythology)
In Hawaiian religion, Māui is a culture hero and ancient chief who appears in several different genealogies. In the Kumulipo, he is the son of Akalana and his wife Hina-a-ke-ahi (Hina).

His name is the same as that of the Hawaiian island Maui, although native tradition holds that it is not named for him directly, but instead named after the son of Hawaii's discoverer (who was named after Māui himself). Legendary exploits Hauling up the islands of Hawaii The great fish-hook of Māui is called ''Manaiakalani'', and it is baited with the wing of Hina's pet bird, the ''alae''.

Kumulipo
In Hawaiian religion, the Kumulipo is the creation chant, first recorded by Westerners in the 18th century. It also includes a genealogy of the members of Hawaiian royalty and was created in honor of Kalaninuiamamao and passed down orally to his daughter Alapaiwahine. Creation chant In the ''Kumulipo'' the world was created over a cosmic night. This is not just one night, but many nights over time. The ancient Hawaiian ''kahuna'' and priests of the Hawaiian religion would recite the ''Kumulipo'' during the ''makahiki'' season, honoring the god Lono. In 1779, Captain James Cook arrived in Kealakekua Bay on the island of Hawaii during the season and was greeted by the Hawaiians reciting the ''Kumulipo''. Some stories say Cook was mistaken for Lono, because of the type of sails on his ship and his pale skintone. In 1889, King Kalākaua printed a sixty-page pamphlet of the ''Kumulipo''. Attached to the pamphlet was a 2-page paper on how the chant was originally composed and recited. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
