Act 3 Scene 18 1783 The Invasion of O’ahu by Kahekili

Situation: At Kahekili’s residence in Lahaina; the hale mua, men’s eating house. Seated on mats, view of the sea, horizon, clouds, blue sky.

Kahekili Kekuamanoha Kalanikupule Koalaukani Kalaiulumoku Pe’ape’a Manonokauapekuikalani

Kahekili: Ano ai. (greetings)

All assembled: Ano ai.

Kahekili: I’ve called this family together to bring O’ahu’s chiefdom under the ali’i mo’i title of Maui.

We received word that high priest of O’ahu, Ka’opulupulu, and his son, Kahulupue, were put to death by Kahahana, which removes the obstacle which has been in the way for ten years,

It means the invasion of O’ahu by Maui.

Kekuamanoha; Who would go with us if we do this?

Kahekili: Ka’iana, who just returned from Battle of the Bitter Rain in Puna, and his half-brothers, Namakeha and Nahiolea, will go.

Kalanikupule: What’s their interest in it?

Kahekili: Ka’iana’s half-brothers are descendants of Papaikani’au wahine, your greatgrandmother, who married Ka’ulahea and had Kekaulike, your grandfather

Papaikani’au had a daughter, Kaupekamoku, by another marriage. Ka’iana and his half-brothers are sons of Kaupekamoku, Kekaulike’s half-sister. [Papakania’u m. Mokulani (k) of Hilo, HI).

Koalaukani: One thing disturbs me. What justification do we have for taking the ali’i mo’i title away from Kahahana who is one of ours? From this household, raised with us as a brother.

Kahekili: I’ve waited ten years for him to keep his promise to me.

Kalanikupule: What promise? First I’ve ever heard of it.

Kahekili: You weren’t here when Aunt Kekela came asking me to give permission to allow Kahahana to go to O’ahu to replace Peleioholani’s son, Kumahana, who had been removed as high chief. 176 I gave it on condition that Kahahana gives to me the pu’uhonua land of Kualoa on O’ahu and the palaoa pae whale ivory that comes ashore there.

Koalaukani: What’s preventing him now? Ka’opulupulu is no obstacle anymore.

Kahekili: Kaleopu’upu’u informed me that Ka’opulupulu was willing to convey Kualoa, so Kahahana was using Ka’opulupulu as an excuse

Kalanikupule: What’s so important about Kualoa?

Kahekili: It’s the most sacred ground of any land in the entire archipelago belonging to the descendants of Kakuhihewa, the king by whom the districts of O’ahu were unified.

Kekuamanoha: Kahahana’s title to the O’ahu chiefdom descends to him from Kuali’i, greatgrandson of Kanekapu-a-Kakuhewa.

Kahekili: How did Moloka’i become part of Kuali’i’s domain when it was part of Maui before that? In the time of Pi’ilani, and after Pi’ilani for 250 years.

Kekuamanoha; Kuali’i married Ka’ulahea’s daughter, Kalanimakeiali’i wahine and had sons whose inheritance included what they had received from their mother, Kekaulike’s sister, in addition to what came down from their father.

Ka’ulahea married his full sister, Kalaniomaiheuila wahine, and Kalanimakeiali’i wahine was born. Ka’ulahea married Papaikani’au wahine and Kekaulike was born.

Kalanimakeiali’i wahine had several children from Kuali’i: Kapi’iohokalani, a son, who succeeded Kuali’i as ali’i mo’i of O’ahu; Peleioholani, a son, who succeeded Kapi’iohokalani after his death on Moloka’i; Lonokahikini, a daughter, who married her brother, Peleioholani and from whom came Kumahana, a son, the chief of O’ahu replaced by Kahahana.

Koalaukani: Why Kahahana?

Kekuamanoha: Peleioholani’s sister, Ka’iolalahai, married ‘Elani, chief of ‘Ewa, whose son is Kahahana.

Kahekili: My nephew, who has a superior right by descent of title from Kanekapu-a-Kakuhihewa through his mother, my cousin, Ka’iolalahai, whereas my descent from Kakuhihewa is from Kauakahi-a-Kakuhihewa who did not succeed to his father’s title.

Kekuamanoha: What justification is there to seize the entire O’ahu chiefdom by invasion, if all you want to do is to recover Moloka’i into Maui’s domain?

Kahekili: The reason is larger, isn’t it? Are we the only claimants to the largesse of O’ahu through Kakuhihewa and Maui through Pi’ilani?

177 If there were no descendants in the line from Kanekapu-a Kakuhihewa, which collateral lines would be favored to select a qualified successor should Kahahana have no heirs of his own?

Kalanikupule: Kaihikapu-a-Kakuhihewa’s descendants because Kanekapu and Kaihikapu were full brothers.

Koalaukani: Who are they?

Kahekili: Kanekapu and Kaihikapu of Kakuhihewa had the same mother, Kaea-a-Kalona, also known as Kahaiaonuiakauailana wahine.

Kaihikapu married Ipuwai-a-Hoalani wahine and had a daughter, Kauakahi-kua’ana-au-a-kane, who married ‘Iwikauikaua.

Koalaukani: I know where this one is going.

Kaihikapu-a-ku’ihewa, father, Ipuwai-a-Hoalani, mother, Kauakahi-kua’ana-au-a-kane daughter;

Kauakahi-kua’ana-au-a-kane mother, ‘Iwikauikaua father, Kaneikaiwilani, son;

Kaneikawilani father, Keakealani wahine, mother; Kalanikauleleiaiwi; daughter;

Kalanikauleleiaiwi mother, Keawe-i-kekahi-ali’i-o-ka-moku, father; Ke’eaumokunui son, and Kekelanui, daughter;

Ke’eaumokunui, father, Kamaka’Imoku mother, Keouanui, son;

Kekelanui mother, Ha’ae father, Keku’iapoiwa the second, daughter;

Keku’i’apoiwa the second, mother, Keouanui, father, Kamehameha, son.

Kalanikupule: Very succinct, my brother. I see clearly, finally. My eyes and ears are wide open.

Koalaukani: Forgive me, father. I didn’t understand, until just now.

Kahekili: (weary of effort) ‘O’ahu is ‘O’ahu and Moloka’i, Kaua’i and Ni’ihau under the ali’i mo’i title of O’ahu

It’s been ten years since Kahahana became the ali’i mo’i, and no sons have been born to him. He’s the last male heir of Kanekapu.

178 Kekuamanoha: The last male heir of Kanekapu from a daughter of Kuali’i, Ka’iolalahai, but she has sisters, Lonokahikini and Kukuiaimakalani, who may have heirs

Kahekili: Very unlikely because Lonokahikini’s sons are heirs of of Kumuhana whose title was removed/

Kamehameha is the ali’i mo’i of Hawai’i with collateral relationship to Kanekapu’s full brother, Kaihikapu, in the degree closer than collateral cousins descending from half-brother Kauakahi, heirs of Kekaulike and Kaupekamoku

Kaleopu’upu’u has succeeded to the position of high priest formerly occupied by his older brother, and Kaleopu’upu’u the high priest of Maui and O’ahu.

Kalaiulumoku: It is abundantly clear that our heritage, our future, and our opportunity is lost unless we seize our advantage now.

Kahekili: Are we all in agreement.

All assembled: ‘Ae. (yes)

Kahekili: Ano ai.

All assembled: Ano ai.
