Family
Kamauliwahine was the only known child of Chief Lanileo and Queen Kapauanuakea of Molokai. From her mother, she was the great-granddaughter of Kamauaua, first sovereign lord of Molokaʻi and the great-great-granddaughter of Maweke, the blue blood aliʻi of Oahu.
Her family descends from Nanaulu, the 14th generation descendant of Wākea, of the first migration to Hawaii in the 6th century.[1]
She succeeded her mother in the dignity of Aliʻi Aimoku, after her death. On the deeds of Kamauliwahine, there exist nothing to be told of her or her husband Laniʻaiku personally, as the legends are silent.
Her daughter was the noted Hualani, and she inherited the monarchy after her motherʻs death.
