Kaulaulaokalani

Kaulaulaokalani was District Chieftain or King of Koolau on Oahu. Oahu was divided among the descendants of Maweke, a legendary blue blood alii from which the Northern royal bloodlines spouted. Technically he was a vassal of Lakona, the King of Oahu, but the power of the Oahuan monarchy remain unstable until four generations later.

Kaulaulaokalani was the great-great-great-great-grandson of Kalehenui of Koolau; therefore on the Maweke-Kalehenui line. He was the son of High Chief Kawalewaleoku of Koolau by his wife the High Chiefess Unaula. Kaulaulaokalani's lifetime was during the 13th century, the last days of the migratory period ended with the departure of Laamaikahiki, one of the last to brave those water separating Tahiti and the Hawaiian Islands. The island was divided between him, Queen Maelo and King Lakona. They were his fifth cousins. He ruled Koolau on the Eastern shores of Oahu; Maelo ruled Kona on the Western shores of Oahu; and Lakona ruled over the rest: Ewa, Waianae, and Waialua districts.^[1]
