S.L.K. Peleiuoholani call Kalaniopu'u, the mo'i (king) of Hawaii but also lists out the specific areas he controlled absolutely as ruling chief: Ka'u, Puna, Kona. This is acknowledgment of the historical fact that other chiefly families controled the districts of Kohala (the Mahi family), Hilo and Hamakua (the powerful 'I family).

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):

Look at Kalaninuiiamamao (k); he was the own father of King Kalaniopuu (k) and his children.
(I) The eldest son Kiwalao (k);
(II) Second child Liliha Kekuiapoiwa; they are the true grandparents of Lihoiiho I (k), King of Hawaii, grandparent of Naahienaena (w) and grandparent of Kauikeaouli (k) King of Hawaii.
(III). Kalaniopuu (k) the true father of Kaleipaihala (k), the grandfather of Kaleleonalani, Queen, and L. M. Kekupuohi, Keawehawaii (k), Halalo (k), and J. Robinson (k).
(IV) Kalaniopuu (k), the father of Keaouakuahuula, the ancestor of the chiefess Kekaaniau (w) of Honolulu, L. M. Kekupuohi and Sam Parker. The chief Keouakuahuula (k), true ancestor through the mother of Keouakuahuula, namely Kanekapolei (w), of W. Notley, C. K. Notley, K. 0. Notley, M. Notley, all of Waimea, Hawaii.

Look at the chief Kalaniopuu (k), he is the own grandson of Umiulaikaahumanu (w) (true chiefly class) and Kuanuuanu (k) of Waianae, Oahu. Look closely at Kalaninuiiamamao, the own father of Kalaniopuu (k). A high chief. And here are the chiefly descendants that are seen in the broad daylight.

Look at Kalaniopuu (k) and his
2. Younger brother Keoua (k), father of Kamehameha I.
3. Sister Kekaulikeikawekiuonalani (w), grandmother of L. M. kekupuohi.
4. Sister Kahiwaokalani (w). Grandmother of the Princes.
5. Sister Ahia (w).
Here is the (wohi) son of Kalaninuiiamamao (k), namely
6. Keawema'uhili (k), he is the own grandfather of
7. S. L. Kalaniomaiheuila Peleioholani (k), own father of
8. A. Kahalelehua Kaonohiulaokalani Notley.***

** (Annie Kahalelehua Peleioholani, daughter of Solomon L.K. Peleioholani and Elizabeth Kekumano)

Kalaniopuu (k), King of Hawaii, married Kanekapolei; born were two sons Keouakuahuula (k) and Keouapeeale (k); Keouakuahuula (k) married Kaiolaniokaiwalani (w), the only child of Anahulukapoiawohilani (k), a kapu high chief and the chiefly Lord of Kohala, Hawaii; born was the chiefess Wailuanuiahoano (w), grandmother of L. M. Kekupuohikapulikoliko and Mark P. Robinson and his sisters.

Look again at Kalaniopuu (k) and his children.

Here is Pualinui (w) an own grandparent for Luluhipolani (k), Punana (w), Kaiheekai (k), Keawehawaii (k), Maiopili (k), Kupakei, and Kaiahua and a great many of the chiefly descendants living. How about it, do you know Hawaii's own?

The fifth son born to Kalaniopuu (k) who married Hakau (w) was Kaweiaokaiani (k) who died young.

THERE ARE 2 (TWO) DIFFERENT CHIEFESS NAMED "KANEKAPOLEI"We are told clearly by a Poepoe family member in a 1919 newspaper article that there are two Kanekapoleis, one is the wife of Kamehameha the Great, the other is the niece, who is named after the wife of Kamehameha the Great. Today, this is a cause of some slight confusion as many do not remember that there are two different women (same family) named Kanekapolei.

We differentiate them as Kanekapolei I and Kanekapolei II.

Kauhilanimaka (w.), she is the true sister-in-law of Kanekapolei I, wife of Kamehameha I, with her brother, that is Kalamakuikeao, second husband of Kauhilanimaka and thus was this daughter called by the name Kanekapolei.

Kahiwa Kanekapolei married Kahaaualani and was born Kalamakuikeao Kaahiki.

** Kahiwa Kanekapolei is also the mother of Kepelino, the writer.

Kahiwa Kanekapolei married Kahaaualani and was born Kalamakuikeao Kaahiki.

** Kahiwa Kanekapolei is also the mother of Kepelino, the writer.

Kalola married her own brother Kamehamehanui, ruler of Maui in the "Niau Pio" custom of Hawaiian royalty.

S.L.LK. calls her Kalola Kekuipoiwa in the genealogy of the Robinson family.

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Look at Kekaulike (k), Kekaulikeokalanikuihonoikamoku (k), King of Maui.
Here are the children:
1. Kauhiaimokuakama (k)
2. Kamehamehanui (k)
3. Ka(ola (w), mother of Kiwalao and Liliha
4. Kuhoohiehie (w) (also spelled Kuhooheihei).
5. Kahekili (k)
6. Namahanaikaleleonalani (w)
7. Kekuamanoha (k)
8. Kekuapoiula (w)/ wife of King Kahahana
9. Kaeokulani (k), Kingof Kauai
10. Manuhaaipo (w), Queen of lao
11. Ahia
12. Nahulanui

Look at No. 2 and no. 3, the ancestor of Kaikioewa Palekaluhi, S. L. Kalaniomaiheuila (k), M. Kahai, and many others. This is the first generation after Kalola (w) and Kamehameha ; Liholiho Kamehameha II, this is the second generation of Kalola (w).
(
V). Naahienaena I.*

Look at Constitutional King, Kauikeaouli (k), Kamehameha III. There are a large number of descendants of Kalola (w) and Kamehameha Nui.

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Children of Kekaulike and his half-sister and pi'o wife Kekuipoiwanui:
Keiki 1 - Kamehamehanui (k), King of Maui
Keiki 2 - Kalola (w)
Keiki 3 - Kuhooheiheipahu (w)
Keiki 4 - Kahekili (k), King of Maui

Look at Kamehameha nui (k) and Kalola (w); they are the own parents of Kalanikauiokikilo Kalaniwaiakua Kekumanomanookekapu (w), the chiefess of Maui whose head is held high in the daytime.

Kekupuohe (b. before 1746; d.s.p. at Kailua, Kona, Hawaii Island, February 1836, bur. Kealakekua), who became a Christian in 1828 and learned to read.
