Manai‘ula Tehuiari‘i Sumner (fl. 1848) was a princess from the Kingdom of Tahiti who settled in the Kingdom of Hawaii. Her name has also been given as Mareilila, Malaiula, Mareiula, or Mareira.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mareilila )〕 Manai‘ula Tehuiari‘i was born to Tute Tehuiari‘i, a chief from either Tahiti, or Moorea or Bora Bora. Her father was the adoptive son of King Pōmare I of Tahiti, who named him Tute in honor of Captain Cook (''Tapena Tute'' in Polynesian). In 1826, he brought his entire family over to Hawaii, where he served as missionary and royal chaplain to Kamehameha III and Kamehameha IV. It was during this time that Manai‘ula met and married High Chief William Keolaloa Kahānui Sumner, the son of Captain William Sumner and the High Chiefess Keakuaaihue. They had their only daughter Nancy Wahinekapu Sumner in March 9, 1839.〔John Renken Kahaʻi Topolinski. "Nancy Sumner: a Part-Hawaiian High Chiefess, 1839-1895." M.A. thesis (Pacific Islands Studies), University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, 1975. xvi, 158 leaves.〕 Another dubious version of her life by historian Albert Pierce Taylor tells that she arrived in 1849, chaperoned by her elder sister Mauli, along with her cousin Ninito Tera‘iapo, as the guests Admiral De Tromelin. Ninito was betrothed to Prince Moses Kekūāiwa and Manai‘ula to Prince Lot Kapuāiwa, but the first prince died before their arrival and the second prince departed to Europe with his other brother.〔 They were asked to wait for his return but not long after, both Ninito and Manai‘ula married the Sumner brothers, John Kapilikea Sumner and William Keolaloa Kahānui Sumner, respectively. This is chronologically impossible as Manai‘ula was already in Hawaii and married in 1849. Manai‘ula was still alive in 1858 when she filed for the probate to the will of her deceased father.〔http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82015408/1859-01-15/ed-1/seq-3/〕 With her cousin Ninito Sumner, she composed a mele for the Princess Victoria Kamāmalu in 1862. ==See also== *Hawaii–Tahiti relations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manaiula Tehuiarii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
