(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.

Liliha Kekuipoiwa (Kekuipoiwa III) is the daughter of Kalaniopu'u, not Keaoua Kalanikupuapa'ikalaninui (Keaoua) as commonly taught.

Knowing the true father of Liliha Kekuipoiwa means we can now see that when she married Kiwalao, she was marrying her full brother not her half-brother, as is commonly taught. This their offspring Keopuolani (w.), a full Ninau Pi'o chief, because she is the offspring of a full blooded brother and sister who are themselves the children of ruling chiefs. This is a rare and precious type chief.

Liliha's daughter Keopuolani, would have been considered more than a normal human being: she was a living god walking among mortals (an "akua"). Thus we understand why she was sought after by Kamehameha to be the Royal Queen Mother of his sons, the furture kings (Kamehameha II and Kamehameha III)

The only person of equal rank to Liliha Kekuipoiwa's daughter would have been the Ninau Pio chiefess Kalanikauiokikilo of Maui, a half-sister of Liliha Kekuipoiwa. Kamehameha also sought this chiefess Kalanikauiokikilo as a wife but because of her high station she committed suicide rather than surrender to Kamehameha, who she considered an enemy of Maui (which he had conquered and subdued) and of insufficient chiefly rank to be her mate.

(Kalanikauikikilo was wrong abou Kamehameha's rank, please see his records and the information about his true parent in this database for that separate discussion)

* PLEASE NOTE: Further sanctifying the daughter Keopuolani was the fact that Liliha and Kiwalao's mother Kalola was herself a kind of Pi'o chief, being the product of a marriage between King Kekaulike of Maui and his half-sister Kekuipoiwa Nui.

CONCLUSION

Textbooks, charts and references should be corrected.

This is the correct genealogy of the Kamehameha Dynasty according to my great grandfather High Chief S.L.K. Peleiholani, senior ranking Chief of the Keawe Lineage of Hawaii along with his sister the Honorable Ululani Liwai (Baker), Governess of Hawaii Island, advisor to the kings Kamehameha IV and Kalakaua.

This is the knowledge handed down by the Maui and Hawaii chiefs who fathered Kamehameha, helped him conquer the islands, or resisted him to defend their own kingship when they could, and finally gave up their women to be his royal wives. These foundational chiefs passed the kokua and the mo'okuauhau in an unbroken chain from father to son, mother to son, directly to S.L.K. Peleioholani, whose grandmother Kahahana sat at Kamehameha the Great's bedside as he was dieing.
