LIFE
A. He is said to have been born at Kukaniloko on Oahu (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 89). Raised on Oahu (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 53).
B. High chief of Oahu. Chosen by the chiefs at age 29 after they killed the previous high chief, Haka (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 50).
C."After installation as Moi he made Waikiki in the Kona district his permanent residence, and with few exceptions the place remained the seat of the Oahu kings until Honolulu harbour was discovered to be accessible to large shipping." He "occupies a prominent place for his wise, firm, and judicious government... He caused to be enacted a code of laws" (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 89). He was "the exemplary king of this island who proclaimed just laws; divided Oahu amongst his followers; caused all first-born children to be brought to his Court for adoption by him" (Thrum, Brief Sketch of the Life and Labors of S. M. Kamakau, Hawaiian Historian, p 47). He was a religious chief; he did not sacrifice men in the heiau (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 56).
