6. a chief of Waimea, Kauai, father-in-law of Manokalanipō, and famous as an agriculturalist. A month and the summer season collectively were named for him. During the makahiki festivals food plants were symbolically dropped from his net (HM 366-367). Several times Kamapuaʻa killed all of Chief ʻOlopana's men except Makaliʻi, who as the sole survivor took the news to ʻOlopana. Later, when Makaliʻi had become chief of Kauaʻi, he was frightened by Kamapuaʻa's long chant of his victories; he then chanted Kama's name songs, and so his life was spared, but he was sent away to live in the mountains. (FS 198-203, 230-239). In one account (For. 5:364-365), the gods Kāne and Kanaloa sent messengers up (i luna) to ask Makaliʻi whether Kaulu, a noisy kava drinker, was man or god. Later Makaliʻi gave his nets to Kaulu so that he might entangle and kill Haumea. His name is given to the Pleiades. By some he was considered a navigator. |
