kaiminaauao

kaiminaauao -lrb- 1844 -- november 10 , 1848 -rrb- was a hawaiian princess by adoption to queen kalama and king kamehameha iii .
she died of the measles at the age of four .
she was a member of the house of kamehameha -lrb- by adoption -rrb- and the house of kalākaua -lrb- by birth -rrb- .
her mother was analea keohokālole , and her father was caesar kapaakea .
both were hawaiian nobility .
she was a younger sister of james kaliokalani , david kalākaua , lydia kamakaeha , and anna kaiulani , and she was the older sister of miriam likelike , and william pitt leleiohoku ii .
two of her siblings became rulers after her death .
she was an adopted -lrb- in the hawaiian tradition of `` hānai '' -rrb- child , as were most of her siblings .
kamehameha iii and his queen , kalama , were childless at the time because two sons born to kalama had died before reaching adulthood .
kamehameha iii had previously adopted his half-sister kīnau 's son alexander liholiho as his heir .
kalama probably wished to have a daughter of her own to raise , so they adopted kaiminaauao .
kaiminaauao was the first in her family to be referred as a princess since her foster parents were the sovereign king and queen of the hawaiian islands .
the measles , brought to hilo by an american warship , decimated about a third of the hawaiian population .
measles , whooping cough and influenza epidemics wiped out 10,000 people , mostly native hawaiians .
among the high chiefs who died were moses kekūāiwa -lrb- son of kīnau and kekuanaoa -rrb- , william pitt leleiohoku i , husband of ruth keelikolani , and the four-year-old kaiminaauao on november 10 , 1848 .
she was interred in the kalākaua crypt of the royal mausoleum of hawaii at mauna ala. .
