Career
In Hawaiian legends, Alo is a name of a High Chief that ruled as the Moʻi of Maui. He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Maui. Sometimes he was called Alau.
There is no any archaeological evidence for him.
1186.
He is mentioned by Abraham Fornander, who was both ethnologist and judge. Alo was a son and successor of King Mauiloa, who ruled over Western Maui.
He was thus a grandson of noted Chief Hanalaa, great-grandson of Palena, great-great grandson of mythical King Haho and great-great-great grandson of Paumakua of Maui, who was the mythical ancestor of chiefs of Maui. He followed his father as sovereign of Maui.
They were twins and their union was sacred.
