LINEAGE
Fragment: her grandmother was sister of Kukanaloa (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 321).
LIFE
A. She was older than her brother Makakaualii (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 61).
B. She was a chiefess of Puna (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 1 p 84).
C. "In further atonement for the wrong he had done her father [usurping the sovereignty from the rightful heir Kukailani], on his death-bed Keawenui formally conferred upon her the moiship of Hawaii" (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 321).
"when Keawenui was on his deathbed, he solemnly, and in the presence of his chiefs, conferred the sovereignty, the dignity, and prerogatives of Moi on Kaikilani, the daughter of Kukailani, and who was the joint-wife or successive wife of his two sons, Kanaloakuaana and Lonoikamakahiki. This Kaikilani, whose full name was Kaikilani-nui-alii-wahine-o-Puna, must not be mistaken, as several later genealogists have done, for another wife of Lonoikamakahiki called Kaikilanimaipanio" (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 114). She was the first queen of Hawaii (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 100).
D. In her youth she was joined to Kanaloa. However, of all Keawenui's sons, Lono was the most capable and it was recommended that he become joint ruler with her. When she accepted that recommendation, Kanaloa suggested it be fitting that Lono become her mate as well. Kaikilani was still considered young at the time and the most attractive woman on the island. (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 323).
E. Reign of island of Hawaii together with Lonoikamakahiki estimated to be 1565-1595 A.D. (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 31).
F. Conflict: Fornander, Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 1 p 192 lists 2 mates, while McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 100-101 and Peleioholani, Genealogy of the Robinson Family and Ancient Legends and Chants of Hawaii, p 4 lists 4 - the 2 additional are Kanaloapulehu and Kanaloakuakawaiea.
G. Order of children with Kanaloakuaana (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 1 p 192). Fornander, p. 114, states Kaikilani had 3 children with Kanaloa but
No children with Lono (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 1 p 114; Peleioholani, Genealogy of the Robinson Family and Ancient Legends and Chants of Hawaii, p 4).
H. Death place Honokawailani, Waiakea, Hilo, Hawaii (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 101).
Conflict: She died at Kealakekua, Kona from a beating by her mate Lono in a fit of jealousy. There were those who did not like Kaikilani and knew of Lono's uncontrolled anger and so they conspired to make him jealous of Kaikilani (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 47-48).
