Family He was the son of Kamehameha s half brother Kealiimaikai and Kamehameha s half sister Ki ilaweau . After Kamehameha died in 1819, Keaoua rebelled against Kamehameha s successor, his son Kamehameha II . Keaoua s rebellion was brief he was killed in battle about 21 December 1819. His grandmother was Manono I , and his wife was Manono II . The okina Ai Noa After Kamehameha died, on 8 May 1819, power was officially assumed by Kamehameha s son Liholiho . Liholiho, at the urging of powerful female chiefs such as Kaahumanu Ka okina ahumanu , abolished the kapu system that had governed life in Hawai okina i for centuries. Henceforth, men and women could eat together, women could eat formerly forbidden foods, and official worship at the stone platform temples, or heiau s, was discontinued. This event is called the okina Ai Noa , or free eating. As the historian Gavan Daws points out Daws, 1967, pp. 54 59 , this was a decision taken by the chiefs, and it primarily affected the state religion. Commoners could still worship their family protective deities, their aumakua hula teachers could make offerings to Laka and Big Island Hawaiians could make offerings to the Pele mythology goddess Pele .
