He was an ancestor of the royalty of the island of Oahu.[2]
He was not of Hawaiian origin, but came to Hawaii from Tahiti and was famous for his knowledge of black magic. His famous ancestor was Nanaulu.[3]
His parents are named in the chants as Kekupahaikala (father) and Maihikea (mother).[4]
When he arrived to Oahu, Maweke erected a temple to the god called Kanaloa.[5]
