Kalehunapaikua

Kalehunapaikua

Kalehunapaikua was the Prince of Oahu. He was the son of Kakuhihewa, brother of Kanekapu, uncle of Kahoowaha. He was the only son of Kakuhihewa not to bear his name.

He was the fourth son of Kakuhihewa, the 15th Alii Aimoku of Oahu, and of third wife Koaekea, whose pedigree is not know. When his father, Kakuhihewa, died, the office and dignity of Moi of Oahu descended to Kanekapu, Kalehunapaikua'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. Kalehunapaikua appeared to have been left out of most of the inheritance of the lands of Oahu, but remain a high chief in birth rights. His had a sister n amed Makakaialiilani.

Of Kalehunapaikua, the fourth son of Kakuhihewa, nothing is known but one fact which the genealogists carefully kept from oblivion: from him descended the celebrated Kaupekamoku and her three warrior sons, Nahiolea, the father of Kekuanaoa; Namakeha I, who rebelled against Kamehameha I; and Kaiana-a-Akaula, noted Hawaiian chief who visited Canton in 1787 with Captain Meares.
