Prince Kuhio Celebration

The royal union of Queen Ka-pi`o-lani's sister, Esther Kino`iki Ke-kaulike and David Ka-hale-pouli Pi`ikoi produced three sons, Edward Keli`i-a-honui, who died in his teens, David Ka-wanana-koa and Jonah Kuhio Ka-lani-ana-`ole. While not too much is known of their father's lineage (he died in 1880), their mother's royal lineage is well known and respected. Jonah, later known as Prince Kuhio, was born on Kaua`i's south shore near Po`ipu Beach on March 26, 1872. His birthday is celebrated as a Hawai`i state holiday.
