of defending the lamented Queen En-
ma Kaleleouaani's rank is not an en-
viable one, because you may touch the
weak spot of some one unintentional- |
ly; therefore, | beg pardon of all the !
aliis living. | am writing these lines
solely i'm defense of the late Queen
Emma Kaeonalani's rank from the
undignified and uncalled for attacks
of Queen Liliuokalani.
The most tabued and exalted chiefs
belong to the Maui family of chiefs,
such as Northumberland of East Maui;
her rank was poohoolewa ka la (the
rays of the sun were forbidden to
shine on her head). King Kameha-
mehanui. King Kahekili and their sis
ter Kalola. wife of King Kalaniopuu
of Hawaii. all had the niaupiio rank.
On this account, King Liholiho, IA
mehameha II and King Kauilleaouli
Kamehameha III were considered
higher in blue blood than all the 9TH
er Kamehamehas. through their
mothers side, Keopuolanf, grandniece
of King Kahekil. And Kamehameha
! | had the next rank. wohi. a degree
! lower. but becoming conqueror and
a ruler. and husband of the highest
! chiefess in blood living. he had con-
quered all.
| As far rs Queen Emma's claim as
royal candidate for the throne in 1874,
| | say she had an equal claim with her
! opponent. the late King Kalal<aua.
And now to compare their rank by
their genealogies. and how many OF
their ancestors were kings and queens
and how near they connected to Ka-
mehameha the Great. let the public
decide for themselves from the fol-
lowing genealogies:
Geueology of Queen Emma Kaleleo-
nalani. by s. NJ. Kamakau:
Observation-Disclosures married
commandments to whom Kaaninu-
iiHmamao was born. He married All
ia. to whom Kunuialeimoliu was born.
He married Northumberland, to whom
| kalikootalani was born She married
Kelimailtai. to whom Kaoanaeha was
born. She married John Young, ST.,
to whom was born Fanny Keliela,
John Young. JT., ard Jane Lahilahi
Fannie Kckela married G.. Naea. Their
daughter was Emma Kaleleonalani.
Jane Lnhilahi married A. Kaeo. to
whom the present Albert X. Kunuia-
kea was born.
Observation-Disclosures also mar
ried Kalanikauleleaiwi to whom was
born Keeaumokunui. He married Ka-
makaimoku, to whom Keoua was
born. He married Kekuiapoiwa III, TO
whom was born Kamehameha / and
Keliimaikai. The latter married Ka-
likookaani. to whom Kaoanaeha was
born. She was the wife of John
Young, ST., and the ancestor through
Fanny kekela of Queen Emma, and
through Jane Lahilahi of Albert X.
Kunuiakea, as shown above.
Of course there is a dispute about
the true father of Kaoanaeha, some
geneologists claimed the true father
was Kaleipaihala, son of King Ka-
laniopuu. But Kamehameha " con-
frmcd that the true father was Ke-
liimaikai. Even Kaleipaihaa's father
was claimed to be King Keawemauhi-
Ii of EIilo, Hawaii The Hawaiian
historian, S. NJ. Kamakau, always
claimed that Keliimaikai, brother of
: Kamehameha | was the true father of
| Kaoanaeha.
