Kalehenui
Ancient Hawaiian nobleman
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.
Marriage
Chief Kalehenui had married a woman called Kahinao (or Kahinalo, Kahinalu).[7][8]
The only known child of Kalehenui and his spouse was Princess Hinakaimauliʻawa, who was named after goddess Hina.
The grandchild of Kalehenui was Princess Mualani.
