Biography
Haka was born on Oʻahu, most likely in the 14th century.
His father was High Chief Kapae-a-Lakona of Oʻahu, son of the Chief Lakona of Oahu. [1] [2] Thus, he was from the House of Maweke. Hakaʻs mother was Wehina; she was Kapae-a-Lakonaʻs 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.
