Kapiʻolani (chiefess)
High Chiefess Kapiolani (c. 1781–1841) was an important member of the Hawaiian nobility at the time of the founding of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the arrival of Christian missionaries. One of the first Hawaiians to read and write and sponsor a church, she made a dramatic display of her new faith which made her the subject of a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
==Ancestry==
Kapiolani was the product of generations of inbreeding within the royalties of all four islands. Every high chief in the Hawaiian Islands was related to her, including Kamehameha I, who was both her second cousin and her third cousin through different relations. Her ancestors included royalty of Kauai, royalty of Maui and the royalty of Hawaii island. The name probably comes from ''ka pi'o lani'' meaning "heavenly arch" in the Hawaiian language.
The father of Kapiolani was Keawemauhili, who was high chief (''Alii Nui'') of the district of Hilo on the island of Hawaii. She was probably born there about 1781. Keawemauhili was half-brother to Kalaniōpuu who was king of the island during the fatal visit of Captain James Cook in 1779. Her mother was his second wife Kekikipaa, daughter of Kameeiamoku, who had fled with from her first husband Kamehameha I to Hilo in order to marry Keawemauhili.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kamehameha Dynasty Genealogy (Page 4) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kamehameha Dynasty Genealogy (Page 6) )〕〔
She was a first cousin of Kiwalao, the young king of the island who was killed when Kamehameha I first came to power at the battle of Mokuōhai in July 1782.
