Chief Haka (Hawaiian: Aliʻi Haka; Hawaiian pronunciation: Hah-kah; born ca. 14th century) was a High Chief of the Hawaiian island of Oahu, in ancient Hawaii. He is mentioned in old legends and chants.

Biography

Haka was born on Oʻahu, most likely in the 14th century.

His father was the High Chief Kapaealakona of Oʻahu, son of the Chief Lakona of Oahu.[1][2] Thus, he was from the House of Maweke.

Hakaʻs mother was called Wehina; she was Kapaealakonaʻs consort.[3]

Haka married Kapunawahine (wahine = "woman/wife"). She became a chiefess by this marriage. She bore Haka a son, Kapiko-a-Haka.[4]

Wife of Kapiko was named Ulakiokalani. The couple produced three daughters:[5]

Haka became a monarch after his fatherʻs death, and was succeeded himself by Maʻilikākahi.
