Kehidupan awal
Boki is the son of Kekuamanoha and Kamakahukilani. His father was Maui's head and Kekaulike's grandson, King Maui. He is a younger brother of William Pitt Kalanimoku, but is rumored to be the son of Kahekili II. The original name is Kam? ? ule ? ule ("The person unconscious") and his nickname comes from the "Boss" variant, the name of the favorite dog Kamehameha I which is a very common name for a dog in Hawaii at that time.

Governor of the Kingdom
Boki was appointed as Governor of Oahu Kingdom and head of Wai District ? anae by Kamehameha I, and resumed at his post under Kamehameha I, Kamehameha II.
Boki and his wife Kuini Liliha (1802 - 1839) led the delegation to the British led by King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamamalu in 1824. After the king died of measles during his stay, Boki and his wife returned to Hawaii with Admiral Lord Byron on a fregat England, HMSa, Blonde , who bear the body of a king and a late queen. On the way, the ship stopped in Brazil and acquired some Arabica coffee trees, given Boki to former West Hindies settler and farmer John Wilkinson, to plant on the Headland in Oahu's Mona Valley. Wilkinson has never been able to grow tensions for commercial production. He also moved the native turkeys of South America to Hawai'i and Rotuma, along with Hawaiian transliteration of the Portuguese name for turkey, peru ( the wizard in Hawaii, i> in Rotuman).
Driven by the voyage, Boki seeks to trade the fame given to him. He moved the wooden frame house inland and opened a shop and inn called Hotel Blonde. He became unpopular with local missionaries because he sold liquor there. She filled her bar with cheap but bad wine, saying it was good enough to visit the sailors. Like his other business ventures, it is unfavorable to himself, but probably to his employees. One of them claimed the building in the 1830s, calling it "Rumah Boki".
Catholicism
Boki agreed to break the tap (an old system of strict rule) in 1819 and accept the Protestant missionaries arrived in 1820. He was baptized as a Catholic, along with his brother Kalanimoku, the previous year aboard the French ship Louis de Freycinet. Although he was one of the first baptized chiefs, when he married Liliha, he refused to marry her in church and, despite his conversion, was known to enjoy "sin" and "immoral" foods, such as drinking okolehao (liquor made from root ti).
Queen Bupati Ka ? ahumanu has been influenced by the Protestant missionaries in Honolulu and baptized into the Congregational church. Noting the advice of his Congregational ministers, Ka ? ahumanu influenced King Kamehameha III to ban Roman Catholic Church from the islands. Boki and Liliha are constant threats for Ka ? ahumanu and he holds the king of a boy and when he learns that they are one of the first tribal leaders who moved to the Hawaiian Catholic Church, it upset him, because he wanted all the leaders to accept the Protestant, an example he hope all Hawaiians will follow. Deflected in the opposite direction, the young king under the influence of Boki turned to alcohol in what was described as a clear rejection of the standard of Christian morality.
Sandalwood
After the limitation of sandalwood trades placed by Kamehameha I ended, Boki drowned himself in business. He became rich, like many other chiefs, but his lack of head-on-finance understanding led him to become deeply owed in 1829. When word reached him that New Hebrides, a distant group on the South Pacific islands, was heavily forested in sandalwood, he collect a fleet of two boats and sail. It is known that he reached Rotuma in 1827 and was also called in Erromango. However, when he failed to return to Hawaii, he was assumed to have died at sea.
Despite Hawai's belief that he died during a sandal expedition, there is evidence that Boki was alive and well in Samoa in 1830. According to Marques's report in 1893, Bibi's ship was destroyed in 1830 near Iva on Samoa Savai island. span>? i where he united under the banner of an ambitious Samoa chief, Malietoa Vaiinupo. The Hawaii Embassy delegation was sent to Samoa by King Kalakaua in 1886 to learn that two Prussian guns from Boki's ships are still to be found in Iva's village along with "many of his descendants".
Before leaving, Boki entrusted Oahu's administration to his wife and, after that, the widow, Liliha who was the head of the Wai family? anae and governor O ? ahu, until he tried to overthrow Ka ? ahumanu. His father, Hoapili, spoke to him at the last moment, but he was, however, freed from his duties. After Ka ? ahumanu died in 1832, Liliha is depicted no longer pay attention to missionary rules.
