LIFE
A. Conflict: McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 28 identifies Kuihewa as female.
B. From the birthing stone at Kukaniloko, he was taken to Ho'olono-pahu heiau, where chiefs such as "Mako-kaau, Ihu-kolu, Kaamakua, and Pakapakakuaua observed the cutting of his his naval cord." He was raised at Waipio, Waiawa, and Manana. He was taught in warfare by Maui, Kekai, Mau, Ka-wala-iki-o, Maumau-iki-o, Kalona-iki-laau, Kauluiki, Kahaloa, Kahape, Kapahuilani, Kukapukoa, and Mailele (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 68-69).
C. Order of mates (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 70; McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 1 p 15). He likely had more than one mate at the same time (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 69).
D. He was ruler of Oahu (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 117). Inherited the kingdom from his father at 39 years old and reigned for 50 years (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 68).
E. "Because of the benevolence of this ruler and because of his many works, Oahu was called 'the sands of Kakuhihewa... He was a chief without anger or resentment.... Kakuhihewa treated the old people, the children of the maka'ainana, and the destitute like favorites." "many chiefs of Hawaii and Maui came to live on Oahu because of the abundance of food and fish and fresh water and the productiveness of the land. Through the graciousness and kindness of the chiefs of Oahu, those of Maui, Molokai, and Hawaii became relatives [through intermarriage]. This is one of the things that bound the chiefs together in ancient times." "Here is one reason for his fame: he was ancestral chief for the chiefs of Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai." (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 69-70).
F. "nearly contemporary reigns of the Kawulos on Kauai, the Kakuhihewas on Oahu, the Kamalalawalu of Maui, and the Keawenuiaumi of Hawaii and his children..." (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 32). Also contemporary with Lonoikamakahiki (vol 2 p 117). "During the time Kakuihewa reigned, Keliiokaloa, Keawenuiaumi, Kanaloakuaana, and Umiokalani were chiefs of Hawaii. Hawaii had small districts. Kihapii and Kamalalawalu were the chiefs of Maui. Kakuihewa was ruling Oahu" (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 13). .
G. "This is the chiefly lineage of the Koolau's people [Kalehunui to Kauakahinui], and they were sacred chiefs; night was the time they could travel, because these people avoided the sun; therefore, they did not appear outside in the sun at noon. When the sun declined, they arose and they went outside. This was a privilege of rank of the chiefs of ancient time" (The History of Hawaii No. 15 (Ka Nupepa Kuokoa October 7, 1865) reprinted in McKinzie, “Hawaiian Genealogies: Extracted from Hawaiian Language Newspapers," Volume 2, 1986, p. 18).
H. He was "overthrown by Maui forces" (Oukah, Hawaiian Royal & Noble Genealogies, p 203).
