Kumalae was a Hawaiian High Chief, Aliʻi Nui (ruler) of Hilo.
He is also known as Kumalae-nui-a-ʻUmi ("Kumalae the Great, son of ʻUmi").
Kumalae’s uncles were Lono-a-Piʻilani and Kiha-a-Piʻilani and his brothers were Keliʻiokaloa and Keawe Nui-a-ʻUmi.
[3] Kumalae was given the district of Hilo to rule as its district chief, and his successors would be notable as being fiercely resistant to the main line of the Hawaiian chiefs descended from his elder brothers.
[4] Kumalae married Kuanu'upu'awalau (Kua-nuʻu-pü’awa-lau, Ku-nu'u-nui-pu'awa-lau, Ke-kai-ha'a-kuloulanio-Kahiki).
