LIFE
A. "Olopana and Moikeha, not content with their prospects on Oahu ... embarked for the island of Hawaii and established themselves at once in the beautiful valley of Waipio" (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 119-120). Following a devastating hurricane, they traveled to Raiatea. Moikeha then returned to the Hawaiian islands, settling on Kauai. He joined with the daughter of the Alii nui and became sovereign of Kauai after his father-in-law's death (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 120-131). The chiefess was Ho'oipo-i-ka-malanai - also called Hina-au-lua (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 106). Lived on Kauai (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 77).
B. He was high chief of Kauai (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 54; Keahikuniaalapalapa, Royal Genealogy of H.R.H.P. Kaikilani IV and her Family, G-53, p 21). He was chief of Oahu (Descendants of Prince Keeaumoku I. Hms G65, Chart 3).
Conflict: In Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 120-131 there is no description of Moikeha moving to Oahu after he became sovereign of Kauai.
C. He had 7 sons (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 131). In addition to the 7 children with Henauulua, these are listed as Moikeha's children: Keahiula and Kahai (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 15).
Conflict: Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 46 suggests that Puna had one daughter known as Hinauulua and Hooipo-kamalanae. However, on p 53-54 Fornander describes another tradition that indicates these are two separate daughters with whom Moikeha had the 7 children. Fornander, Hawaiian Antiquities and Folklore, vol 4 p 118 shows the two mates, with Hooipoikamalauai giving birth to 3 sons - Umalehu, Kaialea, and Kila. Hinauu had 2 sons - Kekaihawewe and Laukapalala.
Order of first 3 children (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 36). He adopted Laa-mai-kahiki, a young son of Ahukai (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 119).
D. Contemporary with Kaniuhi on Hawaii and Haho of Oahu (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 124). Also contemporary with these chiefs of Kauai: Puna-nui-kai-anaina, Puna-kai-olohe, and Puna-ai-koa'e (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 106).
