His father Kaulunae was the son of Keawepoepoe and Kūmaʻaikū.[2][3][4]
He was a younger cousin of Boki.[2]
Went with Kamehameha II to England in 1824.[5][2]
On the return journey, Liliha, Kekūanaōʻa and Manuia were baptized by Reverend Richard Rowland Bloxam, the chaplain on the British warship HMS Blonde.[6]
After his return Manuia was made commander of the harbor of Honolulu and the fortifications on Punchbowl Hill.[2] He was also commander of Honolulu Fort under Boki.[7]
He was listed amongst the members of the Council of Chiefs (ʻAha Aliʻi) of Kamehameha III. [8]
Fatal voyage for sandalwood
[edit]Accompanied Boki on his search for Sandalwood in the South Pacific.[2]
Manuia was given command of the second ship Keōkoʻi or the Becket while Boki was in command of the Tamaahmaah or Kamehameha.[1][9]
The Tamaahmaah carried 250 men, of which 4/5 were soldiers.
Hinau, another of Boki's cousin,[10] and James Kahuhu,[11] commander of the soldiery, accompanied Boki on this ship.[9][12]
Manuia's ship Keōkoʻi was occupied by 100 soldiers, 20 native crews, 40 of Boki's attendants, 10 foreign sailors and Manuia's wife and 7 of Manuia's attendants.[9]
On Rutuma, the Keōkoʻi picked up 47 native Rutumans.[9]
The ship was plagued by malaria and lack of provision.[1]
Manuia died of the illness during the voyage back to Rutuma from Erromango.[1][9]
Of the more than 180 members of the Keōkoʻi, only 20 survivors including Manuia's widow Kaʻupena made it back to Honolulu on August 3, 1830.[5][1]
The remains of Manuia were returned for burial while other afflicted crew members have been left at Rutuma or thrown overboard while still "alive and breathing".[12]

He was buried at his former residence at Mililani, which was located makai of the original ʻIolani Palace. His widow Kaʻupena's brother Nāmauʻu was awarded the surrounding lands during the Great Mahele of 1848. Kaʻupena lived at the Mililani until her death in 1856.[14][15]
