Biography
Kuaiwa was the son of Kalaunuiohua and Kaheka and brother of Kapapalimulimu.[1] He followed his father as sovereign of Hawaiʻi, not much is related except that, from his peaceable character, he is held up as a contrast to his warlike father.
Marriages
Kuaiwa had two wives, Kumuleilani and Kamanawa. The former descended from Luaehu; the latter descended from Maweke of the Nanaulu line. Kamanawa's name means "the season".[2]
With Kamuleilani, Kuaiwa had three sons, Kahoukapu, Hukulani, and Manauea, and with Kamanawa, he had one son, Ehu, all of whom became noted heads of numerous aristocratic families.
He died in 1375 and was succeeded by Kahoukapu.
