Kūkaniloko[1] was an ancient Hawaiian noble lady, who became the High Chiefess (Hawaiian: Aliʻi Wahine) of the island of Oʻahu, and had a long reign.
Kūkaniloko was born on Oʻahu as a daughter of High Chief Piliwale and his spouse, High Chiefess Kawaʻalaʻauaka, his sister.
Kūkanilokoʻs younger sister was called Kohipalaoa; they were Piliwaleʻs only children, and he had no sons.
Kūkaniloko married a man called Luaia,[3] who was a chief from Maui.
They had at least one child[4] — Kalaʻimanuʻia,[5] who became the High Chiefess of Oʻahu (after her mother's death).
