Her father was Keawe-a-Heulu, the chief warrior and councillor of Kamehameha the Great, assisting him in overthrowing his cousin Kiwalaʻo and uniting the eight separate islands of Hawaii into one nation. Her mother Ululani, was the 7th ali'i of Hilo and the most celebrated poetess of her days. Her brother was Naihe the councillor and chief orator of Kamehameha the Great and husband of the Christian chiefess Kapiolani I who deified the goddess Pele.
