- Kalehunapaikua
Kalehunapaikua was the
Prince of Oahu. He was the son ofKakuhihewa , brother ofKanekapu , uncle ofKahoowaha . He was the only son of Kakuhihewa not to bear his name.He was the fourth son of
Kakuhihewa , the 15thAlii 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 , andKauakahinui-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 amedMakakaialiilani .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 ofKekuanaoa ;Namakeha I , who rebelled againstKamehameha I ; andKaiana-a-Akaula , noted Hawaiian chief who visited Canton in1787 with Captain Meares.Reference
