Kahoowahaokalani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kahoʻowaha-o-kalani was the 17th Alii Aimoku of Oahu. He ruled as titular King or chief of Oahu. Sometimes referred to as Kahoowaha for short.
He was the son of Kanekapu-a-Kakuhihewa, 16th Alii Aimoku of Oahu, and of his wife Kalua. He was recognised as the Moi of Oahu after his father was dead. His life and reign have furnished no theme for bards or raconteurs, from which historian infers that peace and prosperity was uninterrupted. His wife was Kawelolauhuki, whose pedigree is not clearly stated, but who was undoubtedly either a daughter or a niece of Kawelomahamhaia of Kauai. Their son was Kauakahi-a-Kahoowaha who would follow his father as Moi.
