Kapaealakona

Kapae-a-Lakona ruled as the 6th Alii Aimoku of Oahu. He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Oahu. During his reign Oahu was divided among the sons of Maweke, the Blue Blood Alii of the northern islands of Oahu, Kauai and Niihau. He and his ancestors were of the Nanaulu line, descendant of Nanaulu, the original chief who colonized Hawaii in the 6th century prior to the arrival of the Ulu line in the 11th century.

Kapae was son of Lakona, grandson of Nawele both of the Nanaulu line of the blue blood northern Hawaiian kings. He followed his father as sovereign of Oahu. Not much is related in the ancient legends. His successor was Haka of Oahu. Either he was Kapae's son, grandson or great-grandson since it is probably agreed on that three generations elapsed between Kapae and Haka. But in Hawaiian genealogy, Haka is known as Kapae's son by his wife Wehina.
