Notes for John Adams Kiiapalaoku KUAKINI
-Kuakini (II) Kalua-i-Konahale (John Adams). Governor of Hawaii Island 1820-1831 & 1834-1844, Actg. Governor of Oahu 1831-1834.
-John Adams Kiiapalaoku Kuakini was an important adviser to Kamehameha I in the early stages of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He was responsible for much building and other changes in the Kona District during this era.
He was born with the name Kaluaikonahale. His father was Keʻeaumoku Papaiahiahi, an aliʻi (noble) from the island of Hawaiʻi, and his mother was NamahanaʻiʻKaleleokalani, the widow queen of the late king of Maui, Kamehameha Nui.
His father became a fugitive from King Kahekili II of Maui. Escaping to Hana, the family moved back to Hawaiʻi island and lived on Kahaluʻu Bay. He was the youngest of four important siblings: sisters Queen Kaʻahumanu, Kamehameha's favorite wife and later became the powerful Kuhina nui, Kalâkua Kaheiheimâlie and Namahana-o-Piʻia, also queens of Kamehameha, and brother George Cox Kahekili Keʻeaumoku, who later became the Governor of Maui. His father helped Kamehameha I come to power in the battle of Mokuʻôhai in 1782.
When the Kingdom's central government moved to Lahaina in 1820, his influence expanded on Hawaiʻi island. After John Young had effectively but unofficially served in the role, Kuakini was appointed the first recorded Royal Governor of Hawaiʻi island, serving from 1820 until his death. However, on April 1, 1831, a potential rebellion was uncovered on the island of Oʻahu. His sister Queen Regent Kaʻahumanu appointed him Royal Governor of Oʻahu (1820-1831) after Kuini Liliha, the leader of the rebellion, He resided at Fort Honolulu serving as the Commander in Chief. Some time in the next few years he moved back to the island of Hawaiʻi after Kaʻahumanu died and Elizabeth Kînaʻu became Queen Regent, calling herself Kaʻahumanu II. From 1841 through 1843 he served in the House of Nobles.
He gave land to missionaries, such as Asa Thurston to build Mokuʻaikaua Church, and others on the island. He extended a series of low walls that were originally used as Ahupuaʻa (traditional land division) barriers for pigs, because the cattle left behind by George Vancouver were wandering through the village of Kailua. This work became known as Ka pâ nui o Kuakini ("The Great Wall of Kuakini"), some of which still stands today.
He built Huliheʻe Palace in the American style out of native lava, coral lime mortar, koa and ʻohiʻa timbers. Completed in 1838, he used the palace to entertain visiting Americans and Europeans with great feasts. He made official visits to all ships that arrived on the island, offering them tours of sites such as the Kîlauea volcano.1367
