Шаблон:Short description The AliШаблон:Okinai nui were high chiefs of the four main Hawaiian Islands. The rulers of [[Molokai|MolokaШаблон:Okinai]], like those of the other Hawaiian islands, claimed descent from god Wākea.

The traditional history of MolokaШаблон:Okinai is fragmentary. The island was not of major political importance. Its importance lay in the connections its royal family made by marriage, and, in later years, the reputation of its sorcery and kahunas.[1] MolokaШаблон:Okinai is the fifth largest of the eight main Hawaiian isles, and its size hindered it in its struggle for power and survival among the other islands of Maui, OШаблон:Okinaahu, KauaШаблон:Okinai and [[Hawaii (island)|HawaiШаблон:Okinai]].

By the end of the 17th century, as interisland conflict grew worse and worse, MolokaШаблон:Okinai suffered many blows from the powerful monarchs of other isles; notably Kapiiohookalani, Peleioholani and Kahekili II. MolokaШаблон:Okinai finally, and completely, succumbed to the might of Maui prior to the end of the ancient Hawaiian era.
