Kamauliwahine

Kamauliwahine

Kamauliwahine was the 4th Alii Aimoku of Molokai. She ruled as titular Queen Regnant or chieftain of the island of Molokai. Her family descends from Nanaulu, the 14th generation descendant of Wakea, of the first migration to Hawaii in 6th century. [Kalakaua, His Hawaiian Majesty. p 72]

She was the only known daughter of Lanileo and Queen Kapau of Molokai. From her mother, she was the great-granddaughter of Kamauaua, first sovereign lord of Molokai and the great-great-granddaughter of Maweke, the blue blood alii of Oahu.

She succeeded her mother in the dignity of Moi of Molokai, after her death. On the deeds of Kamauliwahine, there exist nothing to be told of her or her husband, Laniokinaaiku, personally as the legends are silent. Her daughter was the noted Hualani, by her husband Laniokinaaiku, and she inherited the monarchy after her death.
