Kumalae was a Hawaiian High Chief, Aliûi Nui (ruler) of Hilo. He is also known as Kumalae-nui-a-ûUmi ("Kumalae the Great, son of ûUmi").
He was born about 1648.
His father was ûUmi-a-Liloa, Aliûi of Hawaiûi. His mother was Piûikea, daughter of Piûilani of Maui.
KumalaeâÂÂs uncles were Lono-a-Piûilani and Kiha-a-Piûilani and his brothers were Keliûiokaloa and Keawe Nui-a-ûUmi.
Kumalae was given the district of Hilo to rule as its district chief, and his successors would be notable as being fiercely resistant to the main line of the Hawaiian chiefs descended from his elder brothers.
Kumalae married Kuanu'upu'awalau (Kua-nuûu-püâÂÂawa-lau, Ku-nu'u-nui-pu'awa-lau, Ke-kai-ha'a-kuloulanio-Kahiki). They had a son, Makuanui, who was his successor as Aliûi of Hilo.
