Aimoku, Kepoʻo Kaleo or Kaleoʻolaeanuikaumanamana V, Kealiʻi’s great-great-great-great grandfather, was married to the grand daughter of King Kekaulike. Her name was Kuihewamakahawai or KUIHEWA III. This song reflects not only the people of Hana, but the magnificent beauty as well. Translated by Kealiʻi Blaisdell, © 2008, Kealiʻi Blaisdell | |
