Workshop Session 7 (Sunday, 9:00am-11:00am)

Kākuhihewa was born at Kūkaniloko, in the sleeping-place consecrated by the kapu of Liloe. He was the son of Kaihikapu-a-Manuia, 14th Alii Aimoku of O‘ahu, and of his wife Kaunui-a-Kanehoalani, the daughter of Kanehoalani, who was the grandson of Lo-Lale. Kaunui's mother was Kualoakalailai, whose parentage is lost to the ages, but was of the Kalehenui branch of the Maweke line. From thence, he was taken to Ho‘olonopahu by his maternal grandfather, Kanehoalani. Forty-eight chiefs of the highest rank, conspicuous among whom were Makokau, Ihukolo, Ka‘aumakua, Pakapakauana, were present at the ceremony of cutting the navel-string of the newborn chief. The two sacred drums, named "Opuku" and "Hawea," announced the august event to the multitude. Several kahu (attendants) were duly appointed to watch over and bring up the heir-apparent, whose childhood was principally passed between Waipio, Waiawa, and Manana in the Ewa district.
