Robert William Kalanihiapo Wilcox (February 15, 1855 – October 23, 1903), nicknamed the Iron Duke of Hawaiʻi, was a Native Hawaiian revolutionary soldier and politician. He led uprisings against both the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii under King Kalākaua and the Republic of Hawaii under Sanford Dole, what are now known as the Wilcox rebellions. He was later elected the first delegate to the United States Congress for the Territory of Hawaii.
Wilcox was born February 15, 1855 on the island of Maui. His father, Captain William Slocum Wilcox (1814–1910) was a native of Newport, Rhode Island. His mother was a native of Maui, named Kalua. She was the daughter of Makole and Haupa. Makole was the great grandson of Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku. Wilcox's grandmother, Haupa was descended from Umi-a-Liloa of Maui (not to be confused with Liloa's son) and Lonomakaihonua.
