Biography

Haka was born on Oʻahu, most likely in the 14th century.

His father was the High Chief Kapaealakona of Oʻahu, son of the Chief Lakona of Oahu.[1][2] Thus, he was from the House of Maweke. Hakaʻs mother was called Wehina; she was Kapaealakonaʻs consort.[3]

Haka married Kapunawahine (wahine = "woman/wife"). She became a chiefess by this marriage. She bore Haka a son, Kapiko-a-Haka.[4] Wife of Kapiko was named Ulakiokalani. The couple produced three daughters:[5]

  • Ka’auiokalani
  • Kaʻulala
  • Kamili

Haka became a monarch after his fatherʻs death, and was succeeded himself by Maʻilikākahi.
