In addition to Kona, Keawe also gave his son Kalanikeeaumoku dominion over parts of the Kohala district, which was mostly controlled by the [powerful and somewhat independent Mahi family.

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

Look at the children of Kaianikauleleiaiwi: (1) Child No. 1, Kekuiapoiwanui I (w); (2) Kekelaokekeaokalani (w); (3) Kalanikeeaumoku (k); (4) Alapainui (k), King of Hawaii, ancestor of L. M. Kekupuohikapulikoliko and many other offsprings; (5) Haae (k); (6) Keawepoepoe (k).

Kalanikauleleiaiwi (w) married again, to Keawe (k), King of Hawaii, and were born Kekelakekeaokaiani (w) and Kaianikeaumoku (k).

"Kee-eaumoku" is the old spelling of "Keeaumoku" relayed to us by S.M. Kamakau.

This Keeaumoku, the nominal grandfather of Kamehameha the Great, became High Priest of the Order of 'Io after Keawe-Uhi-I-Kealakea. After Keeaumoku, his younger half-brother, Keawepoepoe, became the HIgh Priest.
