Keʻoloʻewa was a Native Hawaiian and a High Chief of Molokai (a Hawaiian island). Because of his father, Keʻoloʻewa is also known as Keʻoloʻewa-a-Kamauaua, since Keʻoloʻewa's parents were Lord KamauauaRubellite Kawena Johnson. ''Kumulipo, the Hawaiian hymn of creation''.—the first known ruler of Moloka‘i—and his Chiefess consort, Lady Hinakeha. Hinakeha—likely named after Hina, the Moon goddess—and her spouse were Aliʻi, ancient Hawaiian aristocracy. Kaupeʻepeʻe-nui-kauila was Keʻoloʻewa's older brother, whilst Keʻoloʻewa had two younger brothers; however, Keʻoloʻewa became his father's successor. Keʻoloʻewa's wife was Lady Nuʻakea, a member of Maweke's family. Maweke was a chief and ''kahuna''—wizard, so he was greatly admired because of the “black magic”.

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 woman named Naiolaukea (Naiolakea).

Elepuʻukahonua
Elepuʻukahonua (Olepuʻukahonua) was a High Chief of the island of Oahu in ancient Hawaii. He ruled over Oʻahu in ancient times and is mentioned in chants and legends. His father was Chief Kumuhonua of Oʻahu, son of Chief Mulielealiʻi of the Maweke line; Maweke was a wizard from Tahiti. His mother's name is Chiefess Hainakolo. After Kumuhonua died, Elepuʻukahonua succeeded him as a monarch of Oʻahu. It seems that this happened because he was the eldest son of his father, since he had three brothers; Molohaia, Kahakuokane and Kukawaieakane. At some point, Chief Elepuʻukahonua married a woman named Hikilena, whose parents are not known today. She bore him a son, Kahokupohakano, who fathered with his spouse Kaumana II a son, Nawele Nāwele (Hawaiian pronunciation: ''Nah-weh-leh'') was a High Chief in ancient Hawaii, a ruler of the island called Oahu.

She was a daughter of Princess Hinakaimauliʻawa of Koʻolau, who was Chief Kalehenui's daughter. Mualani's father was called Kahiwakaʻapu. Princess Mualani was of Tahitian ancestry as a descendant of the wizard Maweke who came to Oahu from Tahiti. After her mother's death, Chiefess Mualani succeeded her. 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.

The son was called Kua-o-Mua ("Kua, son of Mua"), and he succeeded his mother, whilst marrying his sister Kapua-a-Mua. Their union was considered sacred and their child was Kawalew ...

Hawaiian Monarchs
Kamehameha I established the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1795 after conquering most of the Hawaiian Islands. In 1810, Kaumualiʻi became a vassal of Kamehameha I, who therefore emerged as the sole sovereign of the island chain of Hawaiʻi. His dynasty lasted until 1872, and his Kingdom lasted until 1893, when Queen Liliʻuokalani, of the Kalākaua dynasty, was deposed by the pro-United States led overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The monarchy was officially ended on January 24, 1895, when Liliʻuokalani formally abdicated in response to an attempt to restore the royal government. On November 23, 1993, the Congress passed Public Law 103-150, also known as the ''Apology Resolution'', acknowledging the American role in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. President Bill Clinton signed the joint resolution the same day.
