Hineuki (also called Hinakeʻuki or simply Hina; keuki = "tantalizer") was a Hawaiian noble lady and Chiefess[1] of the island of Hawaiʻi as the wife of Kukohou,[2] Aliʻi Nui of Hawaiʻi.
She was named after the goddess Hina, who was one of the most important deities in the religion of the Ancient Hawaiians.
Pili was succeeded by the High Chief Kukohou, who was his descendant; Hineuki was Kukohouʻs maternal half-sister.
Kukohou and Hineuki were married, according to the customs of the Hawaiian chiefs, and their union was considered sacred.
Their son was High Chief Kaniuhu,[5] a successor of his father, and through him, Hineuki was a grandmother of Chief Kanipahu,[6] an ancestor of King Kamehameha I, the first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
