Also called Kanakoko in Solomon Peleioholani's "Chiefs of the Sactred Fire" (the poetical writing in his Genealogy found at the Bishop Museum, translated by Dawn Kekoolani, 2003).

SLK Pelioholani says the father Kalahumoku who marries Kahilolaamea (Laamea) is Huanuiikalala'ila'i, not Kanipahu.

This is different than the following articles, which we dispute:
Ka Nonanona (Newspaper) OCT 25, 1842 Page 49 "Mookuauhau" - says Kalahumoku is from Kanipahu

All the generations from KANIPAHU to KALAPANA are confused among various genealogies. There is as much as a 3-generation discrepancy. We follow the tradition taught by SLK Peleioholani and graft in others where they do not conflict. Peleiholani has more generations and has men who appear as brothers in some genealogies as grandfathers, fathers and sons (from his Robinson Family Genealogy).

CORRECT LINEAGE (from SLK PELEIOHOLANI):

(1) KANIPAHU
(2) KANALOA
(3) HUANUIAKALAILAI (Huanuimakanalenale)
(4) KALAHUMOKU
(5) ILIKIALAAMEA
(6) KALAPANA (Kalapana Kuioiomoa)

Ilikialamea is the true father of Kalapana according to the genalogist S.L.K. Peleioholani.

The identity of Kalapana's father is disputed:
FROM FORNANDER: "KANIPAHU"
FROM KA NONANONA NEWSPAPER / OCT 25, 1802: "KANALOA"
SLK PELEIOHOLANI: "ILIKIALAAMEA"

REGARDING THE WIFE: HUALANI
_______________________________________________________

The single public newspaper source for this family unit (a Ka Nonanona newspaper article) seems inaccurate. Only two children rightly belong to mother Hualani, if she and her children actually existed. The other children of Kanipahu have been reassigned to their correct mother.

In some records this Hualani is called a Ruling Chiefess of Molokai. There was a Hualani who was a Ruling Chiefess of Molokai (Ruling Queen). Her family ruled for 5 sucessive generations as the first known ruling family of Molokai. However, it is impossibe for the Hualani from that family to be Kanipahu's wife. She lived more than 200 years earlier. If there was a wife for Kanipahu named Hualani from Molokai, she could have been a chiefess who carried the name of her famous ancestor. But she is not the Ruling Queen (Ruling Chief, Ali'iaimoku).


After her, there is a gap in the record for several generations. We are unsure of the succession of chiefs until history resumes clearly with KAHUKUOHUA, then KALANIPEHU and finally KANE'ALAI, the Ruling Chiefess who marries King Keaweikekahialiiokamoku of Hawaii.
