Kalehenui

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chief Kalehenui (Hawaiian for "Kalehe the Great") was an ancient Hawaiian nobleman (Aliʻi) of Tahitian ancestry, and he lived on Oahu.[1][2]

He was a son of wizard Maweke[3] (chief of the highest known rank) and his wife Naiolaukea, and thus a brother of Chiefs Mulielealiʻi and Keaunui,[4] who was the father of the very High Chiefess Nuakea of Molokai.[5][6]

It was Kalehenui who was a ruler of Koʻolau Range; dominion over Koʻolau was given to Kalehenui by Maweke.
