Reign

edit

During his reign, war did not occur between Maui and any of the other islands. This is a contrast to the disturbance in Kamaloʻohua's reign. Samuel Kamakau wrote that Kaulahea was born at Kūkaniloko Birth Site.

Family

edit

Kaulahea was a son of Kahokuohua, Chief of Molokai and Hikakaiula, the Chiefess. Kaulahea followed his grandfather Loe as ruler of Maui, and married his sibling, Kapohanaupuni. She bore two sons, Kakae and Kakaalaneo to Kaulahea. Kaulahea's sons jointly ruled as Chiefs of Maui.[1]
