Nawele

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nawele was 4th Alii Aimoku of Oahu. During his reign Oahu was divided among the sons of Maweke, a legendary figure thought to have colonized the northern islands of Oahu, Kauai and Niihau.

He was grandson of Elepuukahonua and great-grandson of Kumuhonua, the brother of Moikeha, and first king of Oahu. He was eight generation in descent from Maweke on the comtemporary line of Paumakua.

His wife was Kalanimoeikawaikai. He was the father of Lakona although Lakona's mother was never referred to as Kalanimoekawaikai.
