Kapiʻolani husband

There is a Naihe who was husband of Chiefess Kapiolani, might be a different one? My source says that one died in 1831.

see this Charles Samuel Stewart's book on page 86 spells the "Captain Jack" name "Nahi Kukui" (which could be wrong), and called "Naihe" a national orator (the one married to Kapiʻolani). Ah, I see this confusion wqas already in the history of this article, since the one source cited confuses the two. Dibble's book notes that the "Naihe the orator" was briefly governor of Hawaii island while Kuakini acted as Governor of Oahu. This agrees with the state archives. So far I see no source for this one being governor, so unless someone comes up with that, I will delete the governor bit. Perhaps time to create another stub for the orator Naihe.

Note the new Naihe article now for the Kapiʻolani husband. W Nowicki (talk) 21:49, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Spouse is missing

Uhm....there is no mention of this subjects spouse, who was Charles Kanaina's sister and why Kamehameha III was able to wed Kalama even though many of the royal Family objected. Not because of the lower chiefly line (all of the chiefs were lower than Kamehameha III) but because he had been betrothed to another and broke that off to marry Kalama.

I'm adopting this article and adding it to my watch list. It needs expansion and further research. This article is part of a wider group of articles that should probably be linked together. All involving the death of Kamehameha II and the transferring of power from Kamehameha I to Kaahumanu and Kamehameha III.--Mark Miller (talk) 18:50, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
