Kalonaiki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kalona-iki was the 9th Alii Aimoku of Oahu. He reigned as the titular chieftain or King of the island of Oahu and all its territories it may of claim at the time.
He was the son of Mailikukahi, 8th Alii Aimoku of Oahu, and his wife High Chiefess Kanepukoa, an aristocratic but of what branch of the aristocratic families of the island she belonged has not been retained on the legends. He followed his father as the Moi of Oahu. Kalona appears to have followed in the footsteps of his father, whose court was equal to King Arthur and his court at Camelot. He observed the laws and policy inaugurated by him and the island was peaceful and prosperous. No foreign invasion, no convulsion within, have been remembered in the legends during his time. His wife was Kikinui-a-Ewa. Her parents are not mentioned, but it is said that she belonged to the great family of Ewa-ulu-a-Lakona, great grandson of Maweke. Kalona-iki’s children, as known, were Piliwale, Lo-Lale, and Kamaleamaka. The first succeeded him as Moi, the second was a great chief and the third nothing more is known about him.
