Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole ("Prince Cupid")
Prince Kuhio was a descendant of four of Hawaii's ancient royal families: the Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii.
Although Kuhio was not the ali'i of his family in the ancient sense of the word, in that he was not of the senior line, his royal descent was clear and direct.
His descent from the Oahu, Kauai and Maui families was through the famous king, Peleioholani, who died in 1779, and was succeeded by his son Kumahana and a grandson, Kaneoneo.
During the long reign of Peleioholani, Kaneoneo had ruled the family lands on the island of Kauai and had married Kamakahelei, the Kauai queen. Kaneoneo and Kamakahelei had two daughters, Kapuaamohu being the eldest.
The contemporary of Peleioholani on the island of Maui was a great king named Kekaulike who had so many wives and highborn children that he became known as the father of kings.
Kekaulike's most famous son was Kahekili, the king of Maui who almost succeeded in conquering all the islands.
Kekauliki's second most famous son Kaeokulani, born to him by his wife Kepoowaikumailani, a high chiefess of the combined Keawe and Maui royal lines.
This brilliant son, Kaeokulani, was the loyal adherent of his brother Kahekili throughout his life and was general of Kahekili's successful armies.
About the year 1778, Kamakahelei, Queen of Kauai, discarded her husband Kaneoneo and married Kaeokulani. The couple had a son whom we know in history as Kaumualii.
To preserve the purity of the blood line, Kaumualii took his half sister Kapuuamohu to wife.
Kaumualii, the last independent king of Kauai, and his sister wife, Kapuuamohu, became the parents of two kapumoe children: the high Chiefess Kekaulike Kinoiki and the High Chief Kealiiahonui.
In these two niaupio children were combined the sacred blood lines of Oahu, Kauai and Maui royal lines.
As everyone knows, the High Chief Kealiiahonui was taken by Kaahumanu for a husband at the same time she married his father, King Kaumualii.
The High Chiefess Kekaulike Kinoiki was married to the High Chief Kuhio Kalanianaole of Hilo.

As the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act is federal recognition by the Congress of the United States of the native Hawaiian people. All of the native Hawaiian people, not only those native Hawaiian people who live on Hawaiian Homestead lands, but all the native Hawaiian people. Making the native Hawaiian people the Wealthiest Beneficiaries in the United States. As no other State in the Union recognizes its Indegenous Native people as the State of Hawaii does.
Under the State of Hawaii's Admission Act of 1959 the native Hawaiian people are the beneficiares of not only of the State of Hawaii but also of the United States of America. This is by the Laws of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.
It is a must that we learn and know of the past history of Hawaii. Know the history and hardships that Queen Liliuokalani and our ancestors went thru for our people of today. So that we can correct the wrongs of the past.
Prince Kuhio did he best as a Delegate to the Congress of the United States. A Delegate with No Power of a Voting Member of Congress. Under the Prince the Crown Lands of the Hawaiian Kingdom was offered to be the Land Base Trust of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. At that time the Crown Lands of the Hawaiian Kingdom was about about 950,000 acres of land.
What bettter Trust Land Base for the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act then the Crown Lands of the Hawaiian Kingdom for the people of Prince Kuhio? Especailly knowing that Prince Kuhio knew that his people had a Inherent Sovereign Right under Hawaiian Kingdom law to the Crown Lands. Knowing the full history of the Crown Lands under Hawaiian Kingdom Laws.
As long as there are native Hawaiians who are willing to Play the "Blood Quantum" Game, the wrongs of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act will never be corrected, but will be Perpetuated.
Perpetuated because it they who have and will continue to benefit off of the wrongs of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act with their Blood and Racist Minds.
