Analea or Annie Keohokālole (1816 - 1869) was a Hawaiian chiefess and matriarch of the Kalākaua Dynasty that ruled Hawaiokinai from 1874 to 1893.

She was born at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 1816. She was daughter of the Chiefess Kamaeokalani and the High Chief Aikanaka. Through her father she was descendant of Kame'eiamoku and Keawe-a-Heulu two of the Kona chiefs that support Kamehameha the Great.

She married Caesar Kapaakea a chief of lesser rank and her first cousin. Their union produced more than 10 children. They were among the luckiest of the Hawaiian chiefs, to have such a large family, for many chiefs of their time died very young and issueless. Their children were Moses, James, David, Lydia, Anna, Kaimina'anao, Kinini, Miriam, and Leleiohoku. [http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Hawaii/Kauai.htm ] She inherited and claimed vast tract of land in her lifetime but like many of the high chiefs, quickly found themselves land rich but cash poor. The wealthest chief was the monarch with landholding worth perhaps $1.3 billion in today's dollar. Unlike the monarch the average high chief got an award, after taxes, of perhaps just a bit over $3.5 million. Keohokalole, to be sure, was an exception in that she gained lands worth quite a bit more than the average chief. Still for her and a good many other high chief, the final result with their lands was similar to that of the throne; the lands were lost. By the time of her death what remain was half of the land she had inherited from her father which had to be divided by her four surviving children David, William, Miriam and Lydia. [Kahana: How the Land Was Lost By Robert H. Stauffer. Page 70-71] The result was that when David Kalkaua assumed less than twenty years later he had no great personal wealth. His lack of money and his attempts at securing imcome commensurate with his veiw of his station in his life influence his reign which was dogged by bribery and corruption scandals.

She serve as a member of the House of Nobles in 1840. [Hawaiian Investigation: Report of Subcommittee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. By United States Congress. Senate.

She died at Honolulu, Oahu, 6th April 1869 and was buried in the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii.
