Her father was Keawe-a-Heulu, the chief warrior and councillor of Kamehameha I, who assisted him to overthrow his cousin Kiwala{{okina}}o and unite the eight separate islands of Hawaii into one Kingdom of Hawaii.{{cite web |title= Keohohiwa |author= Henry Soszynski |url= http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~royalty/hawaii/i81.html#I81 |work= web page on "Rootsweb" |accessdate=2009-11-24 }} Her mother was Ululani, the ali{{okina}}i of Hilo and the most celebrated poet of her days.
