Helena Kalokuokamaile Wilcox Salazar-Machado (April 13, 1917 – September 17, 1988) was related to the royal family of the Kingdom of Hawaii.[2]

Life

Helena Kalokuokamaile Wilcox was born April 13, 1917. Her father was Robert Kalanikupuapaikalaninui Keōua Wilcox (1893–1934) of the House of Kalokuokamaile, the eldest collateral branch of the House of Kamehameha.[2] Her mother was his first wife Helen Kaleipuanani Simerson Wilburton. Her father Robert Keōua was son of Theresa Owana Kaohelelani Laʻanui and her second husband Robert William Wilcox (1855–1903).

She based a claim to the Hawaiian crown on her family's descent from King Kamehameha I's eldest half-brother Kalokuokamaile, and through her great grand aunt, Elizabeth Kekaaniau Laʻanui Pratt's attendance at the Royal School. She used the regal name Kalokuokamaile II, stating that she was Kalokuokamaile's successor.[2]

Helena was Alii Nui of the Ka Lahui Hawaii Organization from 1987 to her death.[1] She wrote a history of the Kaʻahumanu Society in 1980 titled Kaahumanu Diamond Jubilee: A Brief History.[3]

Family

She married Henry Mario Salazar, younger son of Manuel Bernardino Salazar by his wife Maria Enriqetta de la Huerta. She married secondly Henry Machado, Sr. She had children from her first marriage.

Children

She died on September 19, 1988 at age 71. Despite having surviving sons, she named Owana Kuhina nui and Owana's son, Noa, as Ali`i nui Kalokuokamaile III. She informed Owana's brothers that their sister and her son would succeed her.[1][2]
