Family

Hanalaʻa was a son of Palena of Maui and his wife, Hikawai.

Maternal grandparents of Hanalaʻa were Limaloa-Lialea and Kauilaianapu (Kauilaʻanapa).[1] Hanalaʻa succeeded his father as king of Maui.

Hanalaʻa was a noted chieftain, whom both the Mauian and Hawaiian chiefs contended for as their ancestor under the varying names of Hanalaʻa-nui and Hanalaʻa-iki, asserting that Palena was the father of twins who bore those names, or a mistake could have been made in the genealogies. It is probable both Hanalaʻas were the same person.[2]: 27 

It is said that Hanalaʻa-nui married Mahuia and begat Lanakawai, who then begat Laʻau. Laʻau married Kukamolimolialoha and begat Pilikaʻaiea, High Chief of the Big Island.[3]

Hanalaʻa was succeeded by his son Mauiloa, born out of Queen Mahuia (Mahuʻi.e., Mahuialani).[4] Hanalaʻa and his wife's daughter was Kalohialiʻiokawai.
