Because of his father, he is also known as Paumakua-a-Huanuiʻikalailai or also Paunuikuakaolokea as found in the Kumulipo.
He was an ancestor of many kings of Maui and is believed that he never had any control over any significant portion of Maui. He was a descendant of Hemā of the Ulu line.
Father of Paumakua was Chief Huanuiekalaiaʻilaʻikai (otherwise known as Huanuiʻikalaʻilaʻi), who was born on Oahu as a son of Chief Paunuikaikeanaina and his wife Kapohaʻakia.
Mother of Paumakua was called Kapoea or Kapola, and she was born c. 1010.
Of Paumakua himself little is to tell. Of his brother Kuheailani, nothing remarkable has been retain upon Hawaiian traditions. Kuheailaniʻs son Hakalanilea appear to have become the lord of some lands in the Hilo district of Hawaiʻi.
Paumakua married his sister Manokalililani and their son was King Haho of Maui.
^“And from Pili the ruling Hawaiian chiefs, down to the Kamehameha family, claimed their descent; and, as if conscious of their usurpation or intrusion up the domestic line, their genealogists and bards in subsequent ages were always trying to connect Pili with the indigenous chiefs on the Maui line from Paumakua and Haho.”
