LIFE
A. Birth year 1332 estimated with Stokes' standard 20 years prior to son Kahaimoeleaikaaikapukupou.
Conflict: He Kuauhau Alii o Hawaii Nei, G-9 identifies date range of rule during 1195-1220.
B. He was "the first-born of Kanipahu," (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 156).
C. He was sovereign chief of Hawaii (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 41). Became high chief of Hawaii through conquest over Kamaiole, who usurped sovereignty from Kalapana's father Kanipahu (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 113). Kamaiole's companions took the women of the country. When their mates appealed to the ruler, he did nothing. The mates went to Paao to seek the overthrow of Kamaiole. Paao said they should have a replacement and sought for Kanipahu, but because of the effects of hard labor, Kanipahu recommended his son Kanipahu. Paao found Kanipahu, prepared him, and developed a strategy to kill Kamaiole in a small skirmish on shore (Malo, Hawaiian Antiquities, p 248-251). Reign of island of Hawaii estimated to be 1195-1220 A.D. including the usurpation of Kamaiole (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 31; He Kuauhau Alii o Hawaii Nei, G-9).
D. Contemporaries: "Keaweikekahialii married Kalapanakuioiomoa's daughter; Kalapanakuioiomoa is the only chief of Hawai'i that survived Keaweikekahialii's conquest over King Keliiokaloa of Hawai'i and his 800 chiefs (Beckwith, Hawaiian Romance of Laieikawai, p 369; Fornander and Thrum, Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, vol 5 p. 262, 264).
