Parents of Kalahumoku were Lady Hualani of Molokai and Chief Kanipahu[3]—ruler of the Big Island. Kalahumoku was brother to Kanaloa and thus an uncle of Chief Kalapana. The chiefs were the members of the "Pili line“. Kalahumoku's maternal grandparent was Chiefess Kamauliwahine, ruler of Molokai.
Spouse and child
editSometime after or before Kalapana came to the throne, Kalahumoku settled at Kauwiki on Maui and became a chieftain of Hāna.[4] Kalahumoku married Laʻamea and begot a son, Iki-a-Laʻamea.
