His grand court is still recalled in tradition and chant. Her eldest son, Kuamanuia, was Moi for a short time before being murdered by his brother while building another fishpond. It was during her time that many fishponds were built in Pearl Harbor. His daughter, Kukaneloko, was the first woman elected as Moi of Oahu, followed by her daughter Kalaimanuia. The Oahu forces met them on the central plains and defeated them with such slaughter that Kipapa Gulch was named for the fact that the stream bed was paved with the bodies of the slain. It was during his time that a large company of warriors from the Big Island attacked the Ewa beaches and marched inland. He ruled from Waikiki and abolished the acts of human sacrifice on Oahu. Of interest is that he had been born at Kukaneloko and his inaugural ceremonies were held at Kapukapuakea (Kaiaka Park). They elected a fellow named Mailikukahi as “Moi” to oversee all of Oahu. His son, Haka, was such a poor ruler that no-one came to his defense when the other chiefs revolted and executed him. Kumu-Honua was the first chief to unite Oahu under one authority. At that time, rule over Oahu was generally split between two or three high chiefs.

Kaula Kalama was another voyaging chief who ruled near the end of the “Migratory Period”. His grandson, Moike`a, also made voyages south and brought back La`amaikahiki, who introduced many of the kapus and restrictions that were to identify Ancient Hawaiian Society. Maweke made a few round trips between Tahiti and Ewa and is credited with bringing the first breadfruit (ulu) to Oahu.

Episode four (of six) of the Saga of the North Shore lecture series at the Waialua Library concerned the descendants of the first High Chief to rule this side of Oahu.
