Father	Laʻau
Mother	Kukamolimolialoha
Consort	Pilikaʻaiea (brother)

Hina-au-kekele (also known as Hina-ʻau-aku, Hinauapu or simply Hina) was a Hawaiian noble lady and Chiefess of the Island of Hawaiʻi (Big Island). She was the sister-wife of the High Chief Pilikaaiea^[1] of Hawaiʻi, and they were the founders of the dynasty named Pili line (Hawaiian: Hale o Pili).

Biography

Hina was born on Tahiti as the daughter of the Hawaiian nobleman Laʻau and his sister-wife, the noble lady Kukamolimaulialoha (Kukamolimolialoha). It is unknown why her father and mother went to Tahiti. Hina's grandfather was the High Chief Lanakawai of Hawaiʻi (a descendant of Ulu).^[2] Hina was named after the goddess Hina.

The brother of Hina was Pilikaʻaiea, who is often simply known as Pili. They were married,^[3] and their sexual union was considered sacred, according to the Hawaiian customs and laws. Their children were:

Koa (Ko) — a son
Hinaʻauamai^[4] — a daughter (also named after Hina) and the wife of her brother

Hina and Pilikaaiea came to Hawaii together with the wizard Paʻao,^[5] and Pilikaʻaiea became a successor of Kapawa. Pilikaʻaiea and Hina were the ancestors of Pilikaaieaʻs successor, Chief Kukohou (died 1185).
