Hey, Did You know? The Beginning - Polynesian era 1600-1699 AD c. 1580-1600 Liloa, the dominant chief of Hawai`i Island, ensures a reign marked by peace. c. 1600 Pi’ilani rules Maui. His daughter Pi`ikea marries `Umi of Hawai’i Island. After Pi`ilanis death, his oldest son Lono-a-Pi`ilani inherites his rule but is ousted by Pi`ilanis younger son, Kiha-a-Pi`ilani. Kiha beats Lono with the help of his brother-in-law `Umi. After their victory, `Umi rules the Hana district of Maui while Kiha rules the remainder of the island. Kihas lasting contribution to the Maui people is the completion of the alaloa, a paved road that circles the perimeter of Maui, thereby permitting efficient communication, trade, and movement of troops.
