LIFE
A. Maui chiefess (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 128).
B. "Her hair fluttered like the wings of the ka'upu bird, and so she was called Kelea-nui-noho-ana-apiapi, Great-Kelea-who-flutters," (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 45).
C. She was "successively the wife of Lo-Lale, son of Kalona-iki, and of Kalamakua, son of Kalona-nui, on the Oahu Maweke line" (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 82).
D. She was an "accomplished surf-swimmer" and after bearing Lo-Lale three children was weary of living inland in Lihue at the base of the Kaala mountains on Oahu. "She informed her husband of her intention to leave, and reluctantly he gave his consent, knowing well that the prerogatives of her rank gave her the privilege of separation if she wanted it" (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 85). She became the mate of Kalamakua and resided with him in Halawa until her death (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 86). Kalamakua was he who was charged in finding a mate for his cousin Lo-Lale (see Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 233).
E. Order of children with Lale (Buke ku Auhau Hawaii, G-8, p 12).
