Māweke

Hawaiian chants name Māweke as a chief of the highest known rank and a kahuna, or priest, famed for his knowledge of black magic, who came to Hawaiʻi from Tahiti. They also name his famous ancestor Nanaulu.

On reaching Oʻahu he erected a temple to the god Kanaloa. He married the high chiefess Naiolaukea, who bore him the chiefs Mulielealiʻi, Keaunui and Kalehenui among other children, making him the ancestor of Oʻahu's ruling chiefs.
