 Elizabeth Laʻanui died without children and Genealogist Edith McKenzie stated that each person that ruled required approval from the House of Nobles although only two monarchs from those children actually did.Salazar dismisses the Kawananakoa claim due to her line through Princess Theresa Owana Kaʻōhelelani Laʻanui, the daughter of Prince Gideon Kailipalaki Laʻanui and granddaughter of Prince Gideon Peleioholani Laʻanui.Owana is descended from the aliʻi line of Laʻanui, grandson of Kalokuokamaile, who was the first born son of Keōua Kalanikupuapaʻīkalaninui Ahilapalapa.
