HE KAʻAO NO KANA

Laniloa, Koʻolauloa, Oʻahu

Ka Moʻokūʻauhau


ʻO Hakalanileo ka makua kāne a ʻo Hoʻohoakalani ka makuahine o Kana. He mau aliʻi lāua no Hilo mai, ma ka mokupuni ʻo Hawaiʻi. Ua hānau ʻia maila ʻo Hakalanileo na Uli a me kāna kāne. He keiki maikaʻi nō ʻo Hakalanileo, a he aliʻi hanohano nō hoʻi. ʻO Hoʻohoakalani hoʻi, he wahine ʻiuʻiu nō hoʻi ʻo ia no Hilo-one mai. A noho pū ‘o Hakalanileo lāua me Hoʻohoakalani he kāne a he wahine. Ma hope mai, hānau maila nā keiki. He ʻelima a lāua keiki, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Kekahawalu, ʻo Lealea, ʻo Haka, ʻo Niheu, a ʻo Kana ka muli loa.


The Genealogy

Hakalanileo was the father and Hoʻohoakalani was the mother of Kana. They were chiefs from Hilo, on the island of Hawaiʻi. Hakalanileo was born to Uli and her husband. Hakalanileo was a good child and a worthy chief. As for Hoʻohoakalani, she was a highly esteemed woman from Hilo-one. Hakalanileo and Hoʻohoakalani were married as husband and wife. After a while, they had children. They had five children, Kekahawalu, Lealea, Haka, Niheu, and Kana the youngest.



ʻO kēia poʻe keiki ma mua, he poʻe kino kanaka maoli ko lākou, a e loaʻa ana ko lākou ikaika e like me ka loaʻa ʻana i nā kānaka a pau. Akā, ʻo Niheu naʻe, he ʻano kupua paha ʻo ia, no ka mea, he keu hoʻi kona ikaika. A ʻo Kana hoʻi, he ʻano ʻē loa nō kona kūlana, kona nānaina, a mau ʻōuli hoʻi.


As for the older children, they took the form of a real human being and they grew in strength just as any child would. But as for Niheu, he was special because of his strength. As for Kana, he had a very strange shape, strange appearance, and strange birth omens.


A hala ia mau malama a hānau ʻia maila nō ʻo Kana ma ke ʻano he paukū kaula i ka pō mahina ʻo Kāloa-pau i ka malama ʻo ʻĪkuwā. I kona hānau ʻia ʻana, ua kuhihewa nā mākua me nā hānau mua i ke ola pono ʻole o ke keiki. Eia nō naʻe, i ko Uli nānā ʻana aku i ke keiki, ua ʻike aku nō ʻo ia i ke kino kanaka ona. Na ke kupunahine nō (a me nā kaikuaʻana ʻeʻepa ona) i mālama a hānai i ke keiki ma ka uka lā o ka wao nahele. A ulu aʻela ʻo Kana a he kino kanaka nō kona, ua mau nō naʻe kona ʻano kupua e like me kona kaikuaʻana, me Niheu hoʻi.


The months passed and Kana was born as a piece of rope on the moon of Kāloapau in the month of ʻIkuwā. When he was born, his parents and older siblings were wrong about the health of the child. However, when Uli observed the child, she saw the human form within the child. The grandmother (and her extraordinary siblings) took care and raised the child in the uplands of the forest. Kana grew into a human form, but retained his special powers just as his older brother, Niheu.


No kona ʻano koa

ʻO Kapepeʻekauila kahi koa ikaika a kaulana no Haupukele ma Molokaʻi. I kona lohe ʻana no ka maikaʻi o ka wahine a Hakalanileo, komo ihola ka ʻiʻini a me ka lili i loko ona. No ia kumu ʻo ia i hele aku ai i ka mokupuni ʻo Hawaiʻi no ke kaua ʻana iā Hakalanileo. Makemake nō ʻo Kapepeʻekauila e lilo ʻo Hoʻohoakalani iā ia. A kaua akula nō lāua a lilo hoʻi ʻo Hoʻohoakalani i ia aliʻi no Molokaʻi, iā Kapepeʻekauila. A lohe ʻo Kana no ka lilo ʻana aku o ko lāua makuahine aloha i ke koa kaulana no Molokaʻi, ua hoʻouka kaua aku nō nā keiki iā Kapepeʻekauila. I ko lāua hiki ʻana aku ma Haupukele, Molokaʻi, penei ko lāua oli ʻana:


Kana as a Warrior

Kapepeʻekauila was a strong and famous warrior from Haupukele on Molokai. When he heard of the beauty of Hakalanileoʻs wife, jealousy and yearning entered within him. For this reason he traveled to the island of Hawaiʻi to wage war with Hakalanileo. Kapepeʻekauila wanted to take Hoʻohoakalani for himself. Then they fought and Hoʻohoakalani was taken by the chief from Molokaʻi, by Kapepeʻekauila. When Kana heard of the taking of his beloved mother by the famous warrior from Molokaʻi, the children went to wage war with Kapepeʻekauila. When they reached Haupukele, Molokaʻi, this was their call:
