Kuaiwa

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 southern Ulu stock of chiefs, who arrived with Laamaikahiki or around the same time; the latter descended from Maweke of the Nanaulu line, through his son Keaunui and granddaughter Nuakea. By reference to the genealogical tables, it will be seen that Kamanawa's great-grandmother Hualani, on the Kamauaua and Maweke line, was the Molokai wife of Kanipahu of the Pili 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.
