Alii of Lahaina, Governor of Maui, son of Kameeiamoku, by his first wife, Keliiokahekili
One of two ninaupi'o female children for Kahekili II and Ku (who we say is the same woman as Kauwahine), rarely mentioned in the genealogies (probably due to the controversies surrounding the male offspring). If they are truly offspring, these are Maui royal females of the highest possible rank. We need more information (D. Kekoolani, JAN 2010).
