Kamanawa (died. c. 1802?) was a Hawaiian high chief and early supporter of King Kamehameha I, known as one of the royal Nīʻaupiʻo twins with his brother Kameʻeiamoku. He later became the step-father of Kamehameha by marrying his mother.
Life
Kamanawa's father was Keawepoepoe..[2] His mother was Kanoena, sister of his father.[3] His namesake grandnephew Kamanawa II (grandson of his twin) was grandfather of the last two ruling monarchs of the Kingdom. The name ka manawa (sometimes spelled "Ka-manawa") means "the season" in the Hawaiian language.[4]
His first wife was named the High Chiefess Kekelaokalani of Maui, the daughter of his aunt, Queen Kekuiapoiwanui of Maui, by her second marriage to High Chief Kauakahiakua-o-Lono of Maui.[5] His second wife was Chiefess Kekuʻiapoiwa II, the mother of Kamehameha I. He had three sons: Koahou, Noukana, and Amamalua from his first wife. He also has a daughter Peleuli, who became a consort of King Kamehameha,[6] by his first wife and a daughter Piʻipiʻi Kalanikaulihiwakama by his second wife.
Since his double grandmother Kalanikauleleiaiwi was Kamehameha's great grandmother, they were half-cousins once removed by blood. However, he was also father-in-law and step father to Kamehameha, so was called his uncle.
He probably died around 1802.[1]:106
