Kamakahelei (c. 18th century - 1794), was alii nui, or Queen regnant, of the island of Kaua{{okina}}i. She was the ruling chiefess of Kaua{{okina}}i reigning from 1770 - 1794. In some historical references she has been described as a regent for her sons Keawe and Kaumualii. She was the sovereign of the Island of Kauai at the time Captain James Cook landed on its shores. The Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School in the district of Puhi is named after her. This school serves the Kalaheo to Hanamaulu districts on the island of Kauai.

Biography

Kamakahelei was the only daughter of High Chief Kaumeheiwa, the son of High Chief Lonoikahaupu and High Chiefess Kamuokaumeheiwa, and his wife, High Chief Ka{{okina}}apuwai, possibly the daughter of Peleioholani, Alii nui of Oahu and Alii nui of Kauai. According to tradition, her grandfather Lonoikahaupu was five generations in descent from the 13th Alii Aimoku of Kauai, Kalanikukuma. His family had traditionally ruled in Waimea and the south-western section of the island, although always in subordination to the elder line of Kauaian chiefs. It is unclear why Kamakahelei succeeded Peleioholani as the Ali{{okina}}i of Kaua{{okina}}i. It is not certain that she was his granddaughter or a close relative. The legends remain silent between the transaction of rule between the two dynasties.

She first married Kaneoneo, Pele{{okina}}ioholani's grandson and the pretender to the throne of O{{okina}}ahu of the Kualii line. He had rights to the succession to Kaua{{okina}}i, but it is not known if he contended with his wife over the rule of the island. Kaneoneo's father, Kūmahana, was deposed by the {{okina}}Ewa chiefs, who replaced him with Kahahana. The latter was the last king of Oahu.

She and her first husband had two daughters: Lelemahoalani and Kapua{{okina}}amohu. Kaneoneo died during the rebellion on O{{okina}}ahu against Mauian King Kahekili II in the year 1785 or 86.[1]{{rp|297–298}}

Kamakahelei next married Kaeokulani, a prince of Maui and brother of Kahekili II. They had a son Kaumualii. Together they united rule of the island of Niihau, her husband's domain, and the Island of Kauai.[2]

Successors

After Kamakahelei's death in 1794, her husband Kaeokulani may have briefly taken regency over his son as he did his nephew Kalanikūpule's inheritance of Maui. Kaeokulani died the same year, killed at the Battle of Kukiiahu, at Kalauao, Oahu on December 12, 1794. Her son continued to ruled the kingdom of Kaua{{okina}}i independently until he consented to becoming a vassal of Kamehameha the Great.[2]
