In Hawaiian mythology, Pili-kaʻaiea (or Pili-auau) was ''Aliʻi Aimoku'' of Hawaiʻi. He was sovereign king or chief, who deposed the indigenous chief, Kapawa.〔''Social Performance: Symbolic Action, Cultural Pragmatics, And Ritual'' by Jeffrey C. Alexander, Bernhard Giesen, Jason L. Mast, (page 157 ).〕 == Biography == He was called a 'grandchild' of Lanakawai of the Ulu line, but he was born and brought up in "Kahiki" (Tahiti). Because the chiefs of (the island of) Hawaiʻi had carelessly intermarried with junior chiefly lines, Paʻao went to Kahiki to find a relative of pure blood who could compete in rank with the chiefly lines of the other islands. He recites a chant to invite Lonokaeho to return with him. Lonokaeho declines the invitation, but sends Pili in his place. Pili becomes high chief and wins the support of the people and he becomes the ancestor of the chiefs of Hawaiʻi on the Ulu line down to the late 19th century.〔Beckwith 1970:372-373〕 His successor was king named Kukohou.〔David Malo, ''Hawaiian Antiquities'', Honolulu: Bishop Museum Press, 1951.〕 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「Pilikaaiea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
