## Biography

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

His father was High Chief Kapae-a-Lakona of Oʻahu, son of the Chief Lakona of Oahu. Thus, he was from the House of Maweke. Hakaʻs mother was Wehina; she was Kapae-a-Lakonaʻs consort.

Haka married Kapunawahine (wahine = "woman/wife"). She became a chiefess by this marriage. She bore Haka a son, Kapiko-a-Haka. Wife of Kapiko was named Ulakiokalani. The couple produced three daughters:

* Ka’auiokalani
* Kaʻulala
* Kamili

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