Biography[]
Kuaiwa was son of Kalaunuiohua and his wife, Kaheka.[1] Kuaiwa followed his father as sovereign of Hawaiʻi. not much is related about Kuaiwa except that, from his peaceable character, he is held up as a contrast to his warlike father.[2]
Marriages[]
Kuaiwa had two wives, Kumuleilani and Kamanawa. The former descended from Luaehu; the latter descended from Maweke of the line. Kamanawa's name means "the season".[3]
With Kamuleilani, Kuaiwa had three children, Kahoukapu, Hukulani, and Manauea, and with Kamanawa, he had son, ʻEhu, all of whom became heads of aristocratic families.
He died in 1375 and was succeeded by Kahoukapu.
