LINEAGE
Conflict: Pukui, Hawaiian Genealogies, p 79 lists parents as Keawepoepoe and Kumaaiku.
LIFE
A. Twin with Kameeiamoku (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 154; He kuauhau no ka hanau ana o na kupuna a pau o hawaii nei, G-10, p 12).
Conflict: "Though every Hawaiian genealogy...states Kameeiamoku and Kamanawa were the twin children of Keawepoepoe and his wife Kanoena, yet all the older legends which refer to these two chiefs call them the sons of Kekaulike. 'Na keiki kapu a Kekaulike'." (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 261). "They are called the royal twins of Kekaulike," and yet lists parents as Keawepoepoe and Kanoena (Liliuokalani's Book of Genealogy, G-2, p 50). They could have possibly been adopted by Kekaulike. However, if they were sons of Kekaulike, they would have been brothers of Kahekili and fought against him in the army of Kalaniopuu (see Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 359). "The Royal Twins of Kekaulike," as they were called, Kameeiamoku and Kamanawa, were sons of Keawepoepoe" (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, p 71).
Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 68 states: "It was the custom from ancient times among the chiefs of Hawaii for the chief of one island to give a child to the chief of another island .... this is why the twins Ka-me'e-ia-moku and Ka-manawa, who were the children of Ke-kau-like, ruling chief of Maui, were made tabu to live on Hawaii as associates for the child of Kahekili."
B. Kamanawa means "the time"
(Bingham, A Residence of Twenty-one Years in the Sandwich Islands, p xvi).
C. Second mate to Kekelaokalani (Liliuokalani, Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen, p 403).
D. One of four principal chiefs to assist Kamehameha I in his conquest (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 132). Kamehameha made these his governors across the island chain (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 175).
E. Death year before 1804. "At Keawe-a-Heulu's death [in 1804] there passed away the last of the four war leaders who suffered and gave their lives for the uniting of the kingdom under Kamehameha" (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 190).
