Keaweaheulu Kaluaʻapana[2][3] (sometimes Keawe-a-Heulu, died 1804)[4][5] was a Hawaiian high chief and maternal great-grandfather of King Kalākaua and Queen Liliʻuokalani.
He assisted Kamehameha in the overthrow of his cousin Kīwalaʻō, and then as his strategist and general in his campaigns.
Kamehameha had summoned him and gave him this order: "Go to Keōua Kuhauʻula and tell him that great is my desire to make friends.
The chief consented to become friends and boarded a canoe with him back to Kona and Kawaihae.
When he arrived at the Puʻukoholā Heiau Keōua was killed as a sacrifice by Kamehameha, uniting the Big Island for the first time since the days of Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku.
