Pili line

Pili line (House of Pili, Pili dynasty; Hawaiian language: Hale o Pili) was a royal house in ancient Hawaii that ruled over the island of Hawaiʻi.[1]

It was founded on unknown date by the King Pilikaaiea (Pili),[2] who was born in Tahiti, but came to Hawaii and established his own dynasty[3] of kings (Aliʻi).

His parents were named Kukamolimaulialoha and Laʻau.[4] According to the myth, he was a descendant of the god of sky, Wākea.

Pili married his sister Hina[5] and was succeeded by his descendant Kukohou.
