[hide]Life[edit]
She was born at Piʻihonua, Hilo, Hawaiʻi Islandon April 7, 1839, the second daughter ofPrincess Kinoiki Kekaulike of Kauaʻi and High Chief Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole of Hilo.[1] She was the granddaughter of Kaumualiʻi, the last king of the island of Kauaʻi before being ceded to the unifiedHawaiian Islands governed by Kamehameha I. She was also the stepdaughter of Queen Regent Kaʻahumanu.
She was elder sister of Victoria Kinoiki Kekaulikeand younger sister of Queen Kapiʻolani, who married to King Kalākaua. Some sources give her different first names; for example Esther, Abigail or even Victoria. The situation was that the three sisters rarely used their Christian names.
Poʻomaikelani served as one of Queen Emma's trusted ladies-in-waiting for many years, but left Emma's employment to join her brother-in-law's court.[2]
Her sister's husband became the king of Hawaiʻi in 1874 and she was granted the title of Princess and style of Her Royal Highness, in 1883 during Kalākaua's coronation. She married Hiram Kahanwai in 1874, a cousin of King Kalākaua and a former steward of Queen Emma. She was made Governor of Hawaiiʻi island in 1884 by her brother-in-law and was paid an annual salary of 3500 dollars per year.[3] She also served as President of the Board of Health in 1887.[4]
She was Guardian of the Royal Tombs at the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii from October 15, 1888 until her death. Kalākaua appointed her as president of the Board of Genealogy of Hawaiian Chiefs. Poʻomaikelani was kahili bearer during Kalākaua's official coronation.[5]
Death[edit]
Suffering from paralysis in her right leg, Poʻomaikelani had been largely incapacitated for the last ten years of her life having to be carried about, especially to service at St. Andrew's Cathedral where she regularly attended. Her condition worsen over the years until she was unable to leave her house. She died at Kalihi Valley, Oahu, October 2, 1895, aged 56, two years after Queen Liliʻuokalani was overthrown. The cause of death was heart failure. After a funeral service at St. Andrew's, she was interred in the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii.[6][7][8] In 1910, after the completion of the separate Kalākaua Crypt, her casket was moved there from the main mausoleum building along with other members of the Kalākaua Dynasty.[9]
