Life

[edit]

She was the eldest daughter of the King Keakealanikane, the former aliʻi nui of Hawaiʻi.[1] Her mother was Kealiʻiokalani, daughter of Queen Kaikilaniali`iwahineopuna and brother of Keakealanikane.[2][3] Keakamāhana was an Aliʻi Piʻo, as her mother and father were full blood siblings.[3] She succeeded on the death of her father around 1635.[2] She married her cousin Aliʻi Iwikauikaua, son of Aliʻi Makakaualiʻi, by his wife Kapukāmola.[2] She died in 1665, and her daughter Keakealaniwahine succeed her.[4]
