Kuhimana

Kuhimana

Kuhimana ruled as the 7th Mo'i of Maui. He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Maui.

Kuhimana was son of Alau and grandson of Mauiloa. He followed his father as sovereign of Maui. Not much is related in the ancient legends. He fathered Kamaloohua. Kuhimana had a daughter named Waohaakuna, through whom Mailikukahi of Oahu became connected with the Maui line of chiefs. She does not appear by that name on the Kakuhihewa pedigree, though, according to ancient custom, it was very common for high chiefs to be known by several names. His son Kamaloohua would succeed him as Moi of Maui.
