LIFE
A. "Fornander, in The Polynesian Race, vol 2, p. 21, regards Heleipawa as another name for Kapawa" (Malo, Hawaiian Antiquities, p 246).

B. "with [Kapawa] began the setting apart of a special place for the birth of chiefs. This place was named Kukaniloko, and it is at Wahiawa in Wai'alua, O'ahu," (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 136).
C. Kapawa was chief of Waialua, Oahu (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 136).
D. "As to the time of Kapawa, the legend of Paao - a Southerner of great rank and a high-priest, whose family was established during this Maweke-Paumakua period as par excellence the priestly caste, and whose descendants survive to this day - expressly confirms Kapawa's contemporaneity with this migratory period. The legend states that when Pili-kaiaea arrived from Tahiti or Kahiki, 'the Nana chiefs of Hawaii were extinct on account of the crimes of Kapawa, the chief of Hawaii at that time'....I feel justified, therefore, in placing Kapawa within the period of Maweke's and Paumakua's grandchildren, and as a contemporary with Pili" (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 200).
E. Samuel Kamakau wrote that after the 28 generations from Wakea to Kapawa, "Kapawa was the first chief to be set up as a ruling chief. This was at Waialua, O'ahu; and fron then on, the group of Hawaiian islands became established as chief-ruled kingdoms - Maui from the time of Heleipawa, son of Kapawa, and Kaua'i from the time of Luanu'u" (OHA, Ka Wai Ola, August 2009, Ages of challenge).
