- Kuaiwa
Kuaiwa ruled as the 8th
Alii Aimoku of Hawaii from 1345 - 1375. He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Hawaii.Kuaiwa was the son of
Kalaunuiohua and Kaheka. He followed his father as sovereign of Hawaii, not much is related except that, from his peaceable character, he is held up as a contrast to his warlike father. Kuaiwa had two wives, Kumulei-lani and Kamanawa. The former descended from Luaehu, of the southernUlu stock of chiefs, who arrived withLaamaikahiki or around the same time; the latter descended fromMaweke of the Nanaulu line, through his sonKeaunui and granddaughterNuakea . By reference to the genealogical tables, it will be seen that Kamanawa's great-grandmother Hualani, on theKamauaua andMaweke line, was the Molokai wife ofKanipahu of thePili line of Hawaii chiefs. With Kamuleilani Kuaiwa had three sons,Kahoukapu , Hukulani, and Manauea, and with Kamanawa he had one son, Ehu, all of whom became noted heads of numerous aristocratic families.Reference
