My problem presently: Surely, this is not the King, that was "...killed in the battlefield in Kokoiki, Kohala, Hawaii and placed on the altar at the heeiau of Mookini by Kamehameha I. Right?...' ' (See page 120)

Along with "...Keaouakuahuula at Puukohola, own son of Kalaniopuu (k)" and Manonoikauakapekulani..." at Kohala, Hawaii? Right? (See page 121)

Hmnnnnn....Puanani/Nani Ontai Tilton Matsumoto (Lptm)

Lots to pursue.../ /

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Look at page 102, same off blue/cream book in the library:

"...was born Keaouakalanikupuapaikalaninui (k), father of Kamehameha I, but Kamehameha was not by him;"

What?! .../ /

"Keaoua was married for seven years to his chiefly wife, but he did not have a child, so Keaweaheulu (k), Kameeiamoku (k). Kamanawa (k), got Kahekiliahumanu (k), King of Maui, to come to Hawaii where Kekukiapoiwa was living and in this mating had that child, a famous conqueror, the seeker of chiefs, leader of the chiefs, and in the did the chiefs increase."

Fascinating, and research continues.../ / Lptm

Why interested? Some of my ancient ohana cousins believe that Kamehameha I is the own true father of my great great great grandmother, Kahinu. Something about the meaning of her and her brother's names.../ /

If this is so, I am interested in following up on Kamehameha I's purported Maui Kingdom...kupuna. Lptm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To that purpose and in a very tentative fashion, if it is acceptable to all concerned......I request permission to link this ali'i to my ohana on the claim that two fathers to the ancients was a plus, not a minus.

If this is not acceptable. do let me know...../ /

His name was short for Kāne-Hekili after the Hawaiian god of thunder. Because Kāne-Hekili was believed to be black on one side, Kahekili tattooed one side of his body from head to foot. He was called Titeeree, King of Mowee by Europeans explorers. Contents 1 Family 2 Battles 3 References 4 External links

Family

He was born about 1710-1737 in Hāliʻimaile on the island of Maui. His father was Kekaulike Kalani-nui-Kui-Hono-i-Kamoku the 23rd Moʻi of Maui. His mother was Kekuaipoiwa-nui Kalani-kauhihiwakama Wanakapu (Kekuiapoiwa I, half-sister of Kekaulike). He had at least two wives, and three or four sons and two daughters. His sister was Kalola. There is a theory that he was a biological father of Kamehameha I.

Battles

His kingdom encompassed seven of the Hawaiian Islands except the Island of Hawaiʻi and paved the way for the creation of a unified Kingdom of Hawaii by Kamehameha I. He succeed his brother Kamehameha-nui ʻAilūʻau as king of Maui, Lanai and Molokaʻi in 1765. He conquered King Kahahana of Oʻahu and killed most of the Oʻahu chiefs that stood in his way, using their skeletons to construct a house of bones. This insurrection of the Oʻahu chiefs is known as Waipi‘o-Kimopo. He had influence on Kauaʻi through his brother Kaeokulani who was the consort of Kamakahelei, Queen regnant of Kauaʻi. After his death in Waikīkī in July 1794, war broke out between his son Kalanikūpule, King of Oʻahu, and his brother Kaeokulani over succession to Kingdom of Maui. Kalanikūpule enventually overcame his uncles on December 6, 1794. As Kalanikupule's forces were weakened it gave Kamehameha a chance to conquer Maui. The Kingdom of Maui would eventually fall after Kamehameha defeated the combined forces of Oʻahu and Maui in the Battle of Nuʻuanu on May 1, 1795 less than a year after Kahekili's death.

Kahekili

Born at Haliʻimaile, Maui, Kahekilinui‘ahumanu (Kahekili) was the son of the high chief Kekaulike-kalani-ku‘i-hono-i-ka-moku (Kekaulike) and high chiefess Keku‘iapoiwanui-a-kalaninui-kaulele-ia-iwi.

Kalola (Kahekili’s sister and daughter of chief Kekaulike’s second wife) played an integral part in Kahekili’s reign over Maui Nui and O’ahu. Kalola, too, was a very high born ali’i.

In 1765, Kahekili inherited all of Maui Nui and O‘ahu and was appointed successor to his brother Kamehamehanui’s kingdom (not to be confused with Hawai‘i Island’s Kamehameha I.)

The power, however, that he received through this inheritance did not satisfy his desire to gain political influence through his own accomplishments. Therefore, Kahekili chose to prove himself through warfare.

He was a formidable competitor and demanded his warriors follow his lead, which they did. And, with each success, Kahekili’s power increased.

Kahekili first proved himself a formidable adversary by defeating the Hawaiʻi army led by Kalani‘ōpu‘u in 1775. Kalani‘ōpu‘u promised revenge and, in 1776, he again went to battle against Kahekili. Unfortunately, Kalaniʻōpuʻu was not aware of the alliance between Kahekili and Kahahana, an ali‘i of O‘ahu.

This alliance greatly outnumbered Kalaniʻōpuʻu’s army. Therefore, Kahekili and Kahahana’s army defeated Kalaniʻōpuʻu’s army as they entered the sand hills of Wailuku. This battle became known as Ahulau-ka-piʻipiʻi-i-kakanilua.

In a desperate act to save what was left, Kalani‘ōpu‘u requested that his wife, Kalola, plead for peace from her brother Kahekili.

However, knowing that Kahekili would not look upon her with favor, Kalola suggested their son, Kiwalaʻō be sent instead. Kahekili’s welcomed Kiwalaʻō and sealed his acceptance of peace.

For a time, after the great sand hills battle in Wailuku, peace and tranquility returned. Kahekili took his leadership seriously; he was faithful to his people, made changes, established rules and took active interest in the welfare of his people and lands.

During times of peace and celebration, when tournaments that required great strength, stamina and ability were held, Kahekili continued to amass great respect with his victories. Such victories assisted in further cementing his position as the son of the divine ruling family of Maui.

Later, Kahekili and his eldest son and heir-apparent, Kalanikūpule, were carrying on war and conquered Kahahana, adding Oʻahu under his control.

Through subsequent inter-island conquest, the marriage of his brother to the Queen of Kauaʻi, and appointment of his son to alternately govern Maui, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe and Oʻahu during his periodic absences, by 1783, Kahekili dominated all the Hawaiian Islands, except for Hawaiʻi.

In the late-1780s into 1790, Kamehameha conquered the Island of Hawai‘i and was pursuing conquest of Maui and eventually sought to conquer the rest of the archipelago.

In 1790, Kamehameha travelled to Maui. Hearing this, Kahekili sent Kalanikūpule back to Maui with a number of chiefs (Kahekili remained on O‘ahu to maintain order there.)

Kahekili’s rule stretched for almost thirty years. He became known for his extreme measures whether it was making sure his people were obeying the kapu and the gods, or by destroying his enemies.

He ruled on Maui before he fell ill and returned to Waikīkī, until his death in 1793 at the age of eighty-seven. As with all ali‘i, Kahekili’s bones were carried away and hidden - thought to be in North Kohala.

Kahekili’s son, Kalanikūpule, inherited his kingdom. Kamehameha faced Kalanikūpule in the famous battle "Kepaniwai" (the damming of the waters) in ‘Iao Valley (which Kamehameha decisively won.)

Maui Island was conquered by Kamehameha and Maui’s fighting force was destroyed - Kalanikūpule and other chiefs escaped and made their way to O‘ahu (Kalanikūpule was later defeated by Kamehameha at the Battle of Nuʻuanu in 1795.)

What Izu is dreading in the Oneula contested case hearing is this. Haseko Ewa Inc is liable for the wanton destruction of our Hawaiian cultural practice of our gathering limu and near shore fishing due to the blocking off the freshwater water source of the twin Waipouli karst system. Ewa is historically' known as the House of limu and was known in Kuli'i's chant at Kanehili Ewa to pick lipoa limu and other limu. Limu gathering a highly valued subsistence food and traditional medicinal healing source. Has been sealed off by Haseko Ewa Inc. Natures natural fresh water source from the mountains to the Honouliuli underground aquifer source that runs underground in the Waipouli karst system bringing nitrates that expand and increase the abundance of endemic Hawaiian algae or limu.Which with the abundant seasonal blooming of limu attracts shrimp, that attract small fish which attract larger schools of fish which we have see a large decline in this traditional y rich area. Waipouli is the protective shield of this important source of increasing abundance of sea life invertebrate to vertebrate fish sources due to a rich algae blooms no more. This is a death sentence to our traditional Hawaiian gathering rights and practices that are well documented in book,: Sites of Oahu" and newspaper articles and books. Haseko is obligated to make reparations to this Hawaiian cultural practitioner who's family ie Kuali'i have been gathering in Ewa in documentation for limu 550 years. That is why my bio for native Hawaiian practitioner, the Kualii chant and my royal Hawaiian genealogy is vital for standing and proof that I have suffered a loss under Article 12 section 7 of the Hawaii State Constitution.

This continues with the Waipouli karst aqueduct as a Royal Kapu Heiau for Ali'i Aimoku iwi a burial places for the highest ali'i of Oahu which are my family. Kamehameha I wife Kaomileika'ahumanu true biological mother of Kamehameha III is proof that in the shrinkage of the Ewa Marina not only a cover up has taken place of signification royal iwi discover but an on going destruction plan of Hawaii's history and sacred site in all of Oahu found at in the opening of the purposed Ewa Marina entrance channel. As my genealogical record shows I as Kahu of my royal families burial grounds; it is my Hawaii State constitutional right under article 12 section 7 to protect our family's treasure our iwikupuna. Which Queen Mikahela Kekauonohi my 4 great aunt did in Waipouli karst with her husband the last prince of Kauai in the 1840's. Haseko Ewa Inc. has never denied my Akaku (vision) that they broke into my royal family burial site and remove a valuable kii of Pele and other funerary objects in their documents. And too this date not returned them to me and my family to be sealed back from were they belong.This cover up must stop and the truth exposed in this contested case hearing on July 26, &27, 2011 at 10:00am Kalanimoku Building BLNR board room first floor.
