Hineuki (also called Hinakeûuki or simply Hina; keuki = "tantalizer") was a Hawaiian noble lady and Chiefess of the island of Hawaiûi as the wife of Kukohou, Aliûi Nui of Hawaiûi. She was named after the goddess Hina, who was one of the most important deities in the religion of the Ancient Hawaiians.
Lady Hineuki â named after Hina â was a daughter of Aliûiponi and his consort, Lady Hinamaileliûi (Hinamaiheliûi), who was a daughter of Ko and his sister, Lady Hinaûauamai â children of the Chief Pilikaûaiea (often simply called Pili) and his sister, Lady Hina-au-kekele. Pili was succeeded by the High Chief Kukohou, who was his descendant; Hineuki was Kukohouûs maternal half-sister. Kukohou and Hineuki were married, according to the customs of the Hawaiian chiefs, and their union was considered sacred. Their son was High Chief Kaniuhu, a successor of his father, and through him, Hineuki was a grandmother of Chief Kanipahu, an ancestor of King Kamehameha I, the first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
The other husband of Hineuki was called Pokai; his parents are not known today. Their child was High Chiefess Alaûikauakoko, Aliûi Wahine of Oahu and HawaiûiâÂÂthe mother of Kalapana, Aliûi of Hawaiûi, and Kapae-a-Lakona, Aliûi of Oûahu. Hineuki died in Hawaiûi and she has been buried there.
