Ke Aliʻi Kamaka Oukamakaokawaukeoiopiopio Stillman (1833–1924) was an aliʻi (hereditary noble) of the Kingdom of Hawaii[1] as well a prominent figure after its overthrow through equestrianism as a Paʻu rider in the Kamehameha Day celebrations[2][3] as well as an acknowledged authority on Hawaiian genealogy and oral chants.[4] She is descended from Kahaopuolani, the aliʻi wahine (noble mother) who had hidden Kamehameha I as a baby and raised him for years in Kohala, Hawaiʻi along with his brother and her own children.[5] Stillman published a response to a 1911, Hawaiian Newspaper account of the birth of Kamehameha the Great, correcting information from the oral traditions handed down within the Kahala family.[6]
