About 'Aikanaka

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LJRL-T3L

ʻAikanaka (died 1837) was a high chief of the Kingdom of Hawaii and grandfather of two of Hawaii's future monarchs.

Biography His father was Chief Kepoʻokalani and his mother was Keohohiwa.[1] His half-brother was Kamanawa II. The name literally means "man eater" in the Hawaiian language.

He was a grandson of two of the five Kona chiefs who supported Kamehameha I in his uprising against Kiwalaʻo: Kameʻeiamoku (one of the "royal twins" on the Coat of Arms of Hawaii) and Keawe-a-Heulu. His family was of high rank and were distant cousins of the House of Kamehameha. He was considered to be of the Keawe-a-Heulu line, his mother's line, and this line is what his grandchildren followed by.[2]

He had one daughter, Keohokālole by Kamaʻeokalani, and probably one son, William Luther Moehonua by Mary Napuaelua.[3][4] ʻAikanaka asked his servant Keawemahi to take Napuaelua and son Moehonua. Moehonua later served as Governor of Maui, and other offices.[5] His daughter Keohokālole by Kamaeokalani served as a member of the House of Nobles.[6] His final wife was Alika Kuaiohua or Kaiahua.[7]

He was in charge of the Punchbowl gun battery and his home was under the Punchbowl hill.[8] His compound included grass structures for cooking, eating, gathering, and retainers' quarters where his daughter gave birth to his two grandchildren: future Queen Liliʻuokalani and King Kalākaua.[9][10]
