Life
Wahaʻakuna was born in ancient Hawaii. Her parents are unknown today.
She married High Chief Loe of Maui,[3][4] who succeeded his father Kamaloohua. The only known child of Loe and Wahaʻakuna was a son named Kahokuohua, who became a Chief of the island of Molokai. The grandson of Wahaʻakuna was called Kaulahea; he succeeded his grandfather Loe as Kaulahea I of Maui. Through her son, Wahaʻakuna was an ancestress of later rulers of Maui.
It is unknown when Wahaʻakuna died. She was most likely buried on Maui.
