Wahinepio

Kahakuhaʻakoi Wahinepiʻo was a Hawaiian chiefess and member of the royal family during the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Wahinepiʻo means captive women in Hawaiian. Sometimes she is called Wahineopiʻo, or an extra ʻokina is added, calling her Kahakuhaʻakoʻi. She was also called Kamoʻonohu. She was considered Kamehameha I's third favorite wife and served as female Governor of Maui, an act unheard of at the time in the western world, but common in Hawaiian history.
