::''Not to be confused with Mauna Loa or Maui.'' According to Hawaiian mythology, Mauiloa was a High Chief (''Alii'') of Maui. He is mentioned in legends and old chants and was likely a semi-historical person or character from myths.〔Abraham Fornander, ''An Account of the Polynesian Race: Its Origin and Migrations'', Rutland, VT: Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1969. Page 79-80〕 He had control over portions of Western Maui and relied on the allegiance of many district chiefs. Mauiloa was a contemporary of Laamaikahiki on Kauai. From the time of Mauiloa to the time of Kaulahea I, there must have been troubled times on the island of Maui. The chiefs of Maui preferred to pay homage to the kings of Hawaiʻi who were distant from them and actually not too interested in their affairs. Name of Mauiloa can be translated as "long/tall Maui".〔(See about the word ''loa''. This word can mean "tall" or "long", or even "far" and "distance". )〕〔(Encyclopædia of religion and ethics, Volume 12 )〕 == Family == He came into his sovereignty at a young age. The beginning of his reign was marked by countless battles to establish his authority from many of the district chieftains of Maui. He was a son and successor of High Chief Hanalaa. His mother was Chiefess Mahuia, who was also married to a man called Lonoʻopua. Mauiloa had married Kauhua and had a son named Alo or Alau.〔''The Kumulipo: A Hawaiian Creation Chant'' by Martha Warren Beckwith〕〔(The Stories of the Genealogies of Maui )〕 He was a successor of his father. Mauiloa had grandson called Kuhimana.〔(Family of Alo )〕 Kauhua's parents are not known to us. 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「Mauiloa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
