Anna Keahikuni-i-Kekauʻōnohi , sometimes called Miriam Kekauʻōnohi, (1805–1851) was a Hawaiian princess and queen consort, member of the House of Kamehameha and granddaughter King Kamehameha I.
She was born circa 1805 at Lahaina, Maui. Her father was Prince Kahōʻanokū Kīnaʻu of Hawaii. Her mother was Kahakuhaʻakoi Wahinepio, sister of Boki and Kalanimoku and granddaughter of King Kekaulike of Maui. Her father was son of King Kamehameha I and Queen Peleuli, daughter of Kamanawa one of the royal twins. She married her uncle Liholiho who ruled as King Kamehameha II. She was one of his five wives. Others were Queen Kamāmalu, Queen Pauahi, Queen Kīnaʻu, and Queen Kekāuluohi. She was the youngest, but Kamāmalu was Liholiho's favorite.[1] She was at the famous meal when the kapu system was overturned in 1819 known as the ʻAi Noa. After Liholiho's death in London, she went to Kauai and married her half-brother Kahalaiʻa Luanuʻu.[2]:108
Kekauʻōnohi served as a governor of the island of Kauai some time around 1840 - 1845[3] and was a stanch Protestant.[4] Kamehameha III created the House of Nobles in the Hawaiian Constitution of 1840.[5] She was among the first members along with the King, Hoapiliwahine, Paki, Kōnia, Keohokalole, Kuakini, Kahekili, Leleiohoku I, Kekuanaoa, Kealiiahonui, Kanaina, Keoni Ii, Keoni Ana, and Haalilio.[6]
After the death of Queen Kaʻahumanu in 1832, she remarried Kealiiahonui, former prince of Kauaʻi and the son of King Kaumualiʻi of Kauaʻi. They had no children. After his death in 1849 she remarried Levi Haʻalelea, a relative of Queen Kalama (consort of Kamehameha III) and had a son named William Pitt Kīnaʻu who died young.[7] She inherited most of the land of her uncle William Pitt Kalanimoku. She died in Honolulu June 2, 1851 age 46. Stephen Reynolds in his Journal noted at her death that she was "the last of the old stock of chiefs – one of the best of them – good natured, benevolent, liberal and generous." She left her land to her husband. She was foster mother of her nieces Abigail Maheha and Anna Kaiʻulani.

Alii Aimoku of Kauai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Aliʻi Aimoku of Kauaʻi was the sovereign king or queen of the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau.

[edit] Overview

The monarchs of Kauaʻi, like those of the other Hawaiian islands, claim descent from Wakea and Papa. Nanaulu, a descendant in the fourteenth generation from Wakea, was the ancestor of Moikeha, 1st Aliʻi Aimoku of Kauai, but his dynasty was supplanted after two generations. The second, or Puna dynasty was established by La'amaikahiki, eleventh in descent from Puna who was twenty-fourth in descent from Wakea. Of course, every aliʻi lineage is ancient to us, but the northern kingdoms produced the great bloodlines that everyone wanted to graft into, including Kamehameha. Theirs is the "bluest blood", and the kingdoms they created, while very much like the kingdoms that Kamehameha’s grandparents and parents created, had a slightly different culture. [1] The last Aliʻi Aimoku of Kauaʻi of the old uninterrupted line of Puna was Kawelo'a'maihunali'i. After his death the kingship of Kauaʻi fell on Kuali'i, the Aliʻi Aimoku of Oahu and cousin of Kawelo'a'maihunali'i.
In 1810, King Kaumualiʻi, the 23rd Aliʻ Aimoku, ceded his kingdom to King Kamehameha I of Hawaii, in an effort to avoid bloodshed. Thereafter, he ruled it as a Vassal state, until kidnapped by King Kamehameha II and taken to Honolulu in 1821. After his death in 1824, his son George Kaumualiʻi took back his birth name Humehume and attempted to re-establish an independent on Kauaʻi, but was also eventually captured and taken to Honolulu. Ironically, any claim to the crown of the Hawaiian islands now rests with Kaumualii's heirs, the House of Kawānanakoa, after the death of the House of Kamehameha and House of Kalākaua.
