Kalohialiʻiokawai

Kalohialiʻiokawai was an ancient Hawaiian lady who became Chiefess of Hawaiʻi—the Big Island. A member of the noble family of Maui, Kalohialiʻiokawai—also known as Kolohialiʻiokawai—was a spouse of ruler of the Big Island^[1] and grandmother of Pilikaaiea, founder of the Pili line and ancestor of Kamehameha I, King of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Itʻs unknown when Kalohialiʻiokawai^[2] was born, but itʻs likely that was on Maui, since her father was Hanalaʻa, Chief of Maui. According to one chronology, Hanalaʻa was born ca. 1142. Mahuia (Mahuie) was Kalohialiʻiokawai's mother.

Princes Mauiloa and Lanakawai were Kalohialiʻiokawai's brothers and Mauiloa became Chief of Maui after Hanalaʻa's death. Whilst Mauiloa succeeded his father, Lanakawai started the reign over Hawai'i. Lanakawai married Kalohialiʻiokawai^[3] and the couple had son, Laʻau and daughter, Kukamolimaulialoha, who were married and went to Kahiki, whilst Kalohialiʻiokawai's grandchildren were Pilikaʻaiea and his sister-wife, Hina-au-kekele.

Although it's unknown what happened to Kalohialiʻiokawai, Lanakawai was succeeded by , deposed by Kalohialiʻiokawai's grandson.
