Kauakahinuiakakuhihewa

Kauakahi-nui-a-Kakuhihewa was a Hawaiian chief of the island of Oahu. He ruled portions of Oahu and served as a distirct chief of those portions.

He was the third son of Kakuhihewa, the 15th Alii Aimoku of Oahu, and of his wife Kaakaualani, the daughter of Laninui-a-Kaihupee and his wife Kauhiiliula-a-Piilani, the daughter of Piilani. When his father, Kakuhihewa, died, the office and dignity of Moi of Oahu descended to Kanekapu, Kauakahi's eldest brother. In other respects the island of Oahu appears to have been divided between the three oldest brothers, Kanekapu, Kaihikapu-a-Kakuhihewa, and Kauakahinui-a-Kakuhihewa. This situation is similar to the Carolingian Empire after the Treaty of Verdun with Louis the German and Charles the Bald both respecting their brother Lothair I, the rightful heir of the imperial titles. Kauakahinui-a-Kakuhihewa, acknowledging his brother Kanekapu-a-Kakuhihewa as the Moi of Oahu. His other siblings were a brother, Kalehunapaikua, and a sister Makakaialiilani.

His fame was small in comparison to his two brothers. Of Kauakahinui-a-Kakuhihewa there is no mention in the ancient legends of Oahu, except that he was the ancestor of Papikaniau, one of the wives of Kaulahea II, Moi of Maui, and of her btorhers Kuimiheua and Uluehu, from whom several distinguished families descended.
