Kahalaiʻa Luanuʻu (died 1826) was a Hawaiian high chief, who served the Kingdom of Hawaii as royal governor of the island of Kauai. Kahalaiʻa also served as the guardian of the young King Kamehameha III.

Family

Kahalaiʻa Luanuʻu was born to Kalaʻimamahu (half-brother of Kamehameha I) and his wife Maui chiefess Kahakuhaʻakoi Wahinepio.[2][3][4]

His half-siblings were Kekauʻōnohi and Kekāuluohi, two of the five wives of Kamehameha II.[5]

Marriage and children

Likelike was married first to High Chief Boki, the eventual Governor of Oahu. However, sometime after their marriage, Boki's elder brother Kalanimoku took Likelike as his wife. Kalanimoku, called The Iron Cable of Hawaii because of his political savvy and military prowess, served as Prime Minister during the reigns of the first three kings of Hawaii.[7][8]

Kahalaiʻa was initially married to Kuini Liliha, the hānai (adopted) daughter of Hoapili.[9] However, his uncle Kalanimoku took as his wife Likelike from his own brother Boki (also Kahalaiʻa's uncle). This prompted Boki to take as his wife Liliha from his nephew Kahalaiʻa. The manner in which the men "took" Likelike and Liliha as wives is not explained in detail in the contemporary sources.[10]


Kahalaiʻa became as kahu (caretaker) to the young King Kamehameha III. He and Kinaʻu lived in the same residence as the young king.[11]

His second marriage was to Kinaʻu, his cousin and widow of Kamehameha II.


Their Christian marriage was dated to March 22, 1826.[12]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Historian Samuel Kamakau stated that Kahalaia and his son died of whooping cough.[13] Kamakau wrote that during the 1826 epidemic, "thousands died, especially in the country districts, of an epidemic of 'cough, congested lungs, and sore throat.'"[14]


Kahalaiʻa died on April 27, 1826, two days after the birth of his son.

The same epidemic also killed Pauahi, his mother Wahinepio, and his adversary Humehume.[15]

He was hastily buried without a procession in the Pohukaina Tomb, located on grounds of later ʻIolani Palace where Kamehameha II was also buried.[16][17] His son died on May 3 and missionary Hiram Bingham I preached a funeral sermon in honor of father and son on the following day. Unlike his father, the remains of the infant was buried in common burial ground where Haʻaloʻu was buried.[16] Kahalaiʻa's remains were not listed among those that were moved to the newly constructed Royal Mausoleum at Mauna ʻAla in the Nuʻuanu Valley in 1865.[18]
