Overview The monarchs of Kauai, like those of the other Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian islands, claim descent from Wākea and his wife Papa. Nanaulu, a descendant in the fourteenth generation from Wakea, was the ancestor of Moikeha but his dynasty was supplanted after two generations. The second, or Puna dynasty was established by Laʻa-mai-kahiki, eleventh in descent from Puna-I-Mua who was twenty-fourth in descent from Wakea. Of course, every ''alii'' lineage is ancient, but the northern kingdoms produced the great bloodlines that everyone wanted to graft into, including House of Kamehameha, Kamehameha.
