He later became an influential official for the subsequent regimes of the [[Provisional Government of Hawaii|Provisional Government]] and the [[Republic of Hawaii|Republic]] and the [[Territory of Hawaii]].

Iaukea was raised from an early age to serve the Hawaiian royal family. He first gained prominence during the reign of King [[Kalākaua]] when he served as an important court official and an army officer in the volunteer army of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He held numerous significant positions including [[Governors of Oahu|governor of Oahu]] and chamberlain to the Royal Household. He also served as Hawaii's ambassador to Europe and Asia, attending the coronation of Tsar [[Alexander III of Russia]] and the [[Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria]]. Iaukea received numerous Hawaiian honors and foreign decorations during his service to the kingdom. Following the [[Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom of Hawaii|overthrow of the monarchy]], he continued to work for the subsequent regimes of the Provisional Government and the Republic of Hawaii. He served as an officer on the military staff of President [[Sanford B. Dole]] and represented the Republic at the [[Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria]].

After Hawaii's annexation to the United States, he became a member of the [[Democratic Party of Hawaii]] and served in many official positions in the newly created [[Territory of Hawaii]] including sheriff of [[Honolulu County, Hawaii|Honolulu County]], senator of the Third District, secretary of Hawaii, and acting [[governor of Hawaii]]. As one of the last surviving representatives of the Hawaiian royal court, he served as business manager and private secretary to the deposed Queen [[Liliuokalani|Liliʻuokalani]] until her death in 1917.

Curtis Piʻehu Iʻaukea was born December 13, 1855, in [[Waimea, Hawaii County, Hawaii|Waimea]], on the island of [[Hawaii (island)|Hawaii]]. Descended from the Hawaiian ''[[aliʻi]]'' (noble) class, his parents were John W. Iaukea and Lahapa Nalanipo. His father served as the district magistrate of [[Hamakua]] and their family were well-known on the island of Hawaii.<ref name="SiddallNellistDay" /> From his paternal line, he descended from Namiki, a priest of the [[Paʻao|Pa‘ao]] order, and Kahiwa Kānekapōlei, a daughter of [[Kamehameha I]].{{sfn|McKinzie|1997|page=50}} On his mother's side, he descended from Kalanipo or Nalanipo, a descendant of the ʻI clan of [[Hilo, Hawaii|Hilo]] and the Mahi clan of [[Kohala, Hawaii|Kohala]]. His mother's family were also related to [[Kekuʻiapoiwa II]], the mother of King Kamehameha I.{{sfn|Iaukea|2012|page=38}}{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|page=2}} His family were considered to be of the Hawaiian ''kaukau aliʻi'' rank, or lower ranking chiefs in service to the royal family.{{sfn|Hopkins|2012|page=96}}

Shortly after birth, he was adopted by his maternal uncle Kaihupaʻa to be raised in the Hawaiian custom of ''[[hānai]]'', an informal form of adoption between extended families practiced by Hawaiian royals and commoners alike.{{sfn|Iaukea|1930|pages=17–20}}{{sfn|Kanahele|1999|pages=1–4}} His uncle had been educated by the American Protestant missionary [[Levi Chamberlain]] and had served his entire life as a personal assistant and servant to King [[Kamehameha III]] and later his successor Kamehameha IV. Iaukea was taken to the kingdom's capital at [[Honolulu]] to live with Kaihupaʻa and his wife Keliaipala. They lived near the grounds of the old [[ʻIolani Palace]], in the building of the former [[Royal School (Hawaii)|Royal School]]. Renamed Halepoepoe (meaning circular or round house), this building had been turned into a home for royal retainers and the ''kahu'' (caretakers) for the reigning King [[Kamehameha IV]]. Around the time he was five or six, Iaukea fell into a well and his uncle Kaihupaʻa broke his foot in the process of saving him, later dying from the injuries he sustained.{{sfn|Iaukea|1930|pages=17–20}}

As a ward of the Hawaiian government, he was sent to an [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] boarding school. Around 1862 or 1863, Iaukea was enrolled in St. Alban's College, founded by Bishop [[Thomas Nettleship Staley]] and his assistants Archdeacon George Mason and Rev. Edmund Ibbotson, which was located in the [[Honolulu|Pauoa Valley]]. Here he first developed a friendship with [[William Pitt Leleiohoku II|William Pitt Leleiohoku]], the ''hānai'' son of Princess [[Keʻelikōlani]]. Their bond was later compared to the friendship of [[Damon and Pythias]].{{sfn|Taylor|1926|page=483}}{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|pages=8–12}}

In 1863, the school was relocated and merged with the Luaʻehu School, in [[Lahaina, Hawaii|Lahaina]], [[Maui]], established by the Anglican Rev. William R. Scott and later administered by Archdeacon Mason who served as Iaukea's mentor. In 1870, he returned to Oahu when the school was again relocated back to its original site.{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|pages=12–20}} These institutions were the precursors of the present [[ʻIolani School]] in Honolulu.<ref>{{harvnb|Soong|1997|pages=159–160}}; {{harvnb|Restarick|1924|pages=116, 127–133, 193–200}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=History Timeline |year=2013 |work=ʻIolani School |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206104407/http://www.iolani.org/about/history/timeline |archivedatearchive-date=February 6, 2017 |url=http://www.iolani.org/about/history/timeline |url-status=dead |accessdateaccess-date=February 3, 2017 }}</ref> Some of his other classmates included [[Samuel Nowlein]] and [[Robert Hoapili Baker]], both of whom were politicians in later life.<ref>{{cite news|title=Local And General News|newspaper=The Independent|location=Honolulu|date=April 6, 1900|page=3|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85047097/1900-04-06/ed-1/seq-3|access-date=February 5, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170109084218/http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85047097/1900-04-06/ed-1/seq-3/|archive-date=January 9, 2017|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In 1871, before leaving Hawaii, Archdeacon Mason informed Iaukea that had Kamehameha IV still been living, he would have intended for him to continue his education in Europe, and eventually to groom him to become an ordained chaplain for the royal family. Iaukea was deeply touched by the high expectations of his deceased benefactor. After finishing his education, he served King [[Kamehameha V]] as a [[kāhili]] bearer and steward at the palace, awaiting an assignment from the king.{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|pages=18–20}}

In 1872, the king sent Iaukea and William K. Hutchison, the son of [[Ferdinand William Hutchison]], to Lahaina where they learned the art of sugar boiling in the growing sugar industry on Maui, and helped manage the West Maui Sugar Plantation, in which the king had a share. They were placed under the care of Governor [[Paul Nahaolelua]]. After the king's death in 1872, Iaukea briefly left his service to the royal court and moved to Hilo to live with his sister Maraea and her husband Charles Akono Nui Akau, a Chinese-Hawaiian manager of the Paukaʻa Sugar Plantation.<ref name="SiddallNellistDay" /><ref name="Sister">{{harvnb|Iaukea|Watson|1988|pages=21–23}}; {{harvnb|Kai|1974|page=65}}</ref> The listless Iaukea enjoyed his new-found independence, but he also felt unfulfilled. He later wrote: "I was dangling at a loose end. And even though I was enjoying my independence, I was aware that I did not know just where I was going or what I ought to do. I was frustrated without realizing it."{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|page=25}}

Following the short reign of [[Lunalilo]], King [[Kalākaua]] ascended to the throne of Hawaii in 1874. During a tour of the island of Hawaii, Iaukea caught the eye of the new king who commanded him to return to the royal court.<ref name="SiddallNellistDay" />{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|pages=24–25}} He became a personal aide to the king's younger brother, and former schoolmate, Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku. Both men were of a similar age and shared the same interest in sports and music. He became a member of the
[[Hui Kawaihau|Kawaihau Glee Club]], sponsored by the Prince and his friends, which competed with the singing clubs of the king, Princess [[Liliuokalani|Liliʻuokalani]] and Princess [[Likelike]].<ref>{{harvnb|Iaukea|Watson|1988|pages=27–32}}; {{harvnb|Iaukea|2012|page=63}}</ref> Liliʻuokalani noted her brother's group "consisted in a large degree of the very purest and sweetest male voices to be found amongst the native Hawaiians".{{sfn|Liliuokalani|1898|page=53}} In later life, Iaukea recalled, "Happy days those were; the days when 'Wine, Women and Song' were the rule of the day."{{sfn|Iaukea|2012|page=63}} The Prince died on April 7, 1877.{{sfn|Iaukea|Watson|1988|page=32}}

On April 15, 1878, Iaukea was commissioned as captain of the Prince's Own Artillery Corps, Company A.
