Kalaninuiamamao (original) (raw)

Kalaninuiamamao (sometimes called Ka-I-i-Mamao or Kaeamamao) was a prince of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, or 1st Aliʻi Nui of Kaʻū, an ancestor of the Queen Liliuokalani. He is probably the Hawaiian chief with the most varied spelling of his name. The Kumulipo was composed in honor of his birth and was passed by him to his daughter Alapaiwahine.
