Owana Kaʻōhelelani Mahealani-Rose Salazar (born October 30, 1953) is an American musician and activist. She is thought to be the only female steel guitar player in Hawaiʻi trained by Jerry Byrd. A descendant of Theresa Laʻanui, Salazar is also a member of the House of Laʻanui, a collateral branch of the House of Kamehameha, and has been involved in Hawaiian sovereignty issues for many years, claiming the right to the defunct Hawaiian throne.
