Alii Aimoku of Molokai

Alii Aimoku Of Molokai

The Aliʻi Aimoku was the sovereign king or queen of one of the four main Hawaiian Islands. The monarchs of Molokai, like those of the other Hawaiian islands, claim descent from god Wākea.

Tradition has not preserved the pedigree of this family passed that of the progenitor, but its connection with the Nanaulu line is frequently affirmed making it relatives of the first dynasty on Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. The father of this family was Kamauaua, who seems to have been the first mentioned superior chief of Molokaʻi. Nanaulu, from which Kamauaua claimed descendant, was a fourteenth generation descendant of Wākea and his wife Papahanaumoku. Keoloewaakamauaua intermarried with another line of Nanaulu, elevating their status, by marrying Nuakea of the Nanaulu-Maweke line. From this the Molokaʻi family proudly trace their lineage back to the first migration in the sixth century.
