Keaweikekahialiʻiokamoku was the twenty-first aliʻi ʻaimoku of Hawaii (U.S. state) in the late 17th century.[1] He was the great-grandfather of Kamehameha I, the first king of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Keawe was also the great-great-great-grandfather of Bernice Pauahi Bishop. He was believed to have lived from 1665 to 1725. He was son of Keakealani-wahine, the ruling Queen of Hawaii and Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu. He is sometimes referred to as King Keawe II, since prior to him there was already a King Keawenui. Keawe was surnamed "ikekahialiʻiokamoku".
Keaweikekahialiʻiokamoku, a strong leader, ruled over much of the Big Island. He is said to have been an enterprising and stirring chief, who traveled all over the eight islands, and obtained a reputation for bravery and prudent management of his island. It appears that in some manner he composed the troubles that had disturbed the peace during his mother's time; mainly the conflict between the independent ʻI family of Hilo. It was not by force or by conquest, for in that case, and so near to our times, some traces of it would certainly have been preserved in the legends. He probably accomplished the tranquility of the island through diplomacy, as he himself married Lonomaaikanaka, the daughter of Ahu-a-I, and he afterwards married his son Kalaninuiomamao to Ahia, the granddaughter of Kuaana-a-I and cousin to Kuahuia's son, Mokulani, and thus by this double marriage securing the peace and allegiance of the Hilo chiefs. The other districts do not seem to have shared in the resistance made by the Hilo chiefs to the authority of the King, at lest the name of no district chief of note or influence has been recorded as having been so engaged.[2]
He ruled along with his half-sister wife Kalanikauleleiaiwi who inherited their mother kapu rank. After his death, a civil war broke out over succession between his sons, Keʻeaumoku and Kalaninuiʻamamao, and a rival chief known as Alapaʻinuiakauaua, who was the son of his sister Kalanikauleleiaiwi and another man. Alapaʻinuiakauaua emerged victorious over the two brothers and their orphan sons (including Kamehameha I's father), who were absorbed into his clan. The House of Kamehameha and the House of Kalokuokamaile, who descend from his son Keʻeaumoku mention above. The House of Kalakaua and the House of Kawananakoa descend from his eldest son Kalaninuiʻamamao, mentioned above. He could be called the father of Hawaii (U.S. state).[3]
