Atiniui Lademar Rekuwajalin (September 13, 1769 - April 28, 1862), better known with his second name as Lademar Rekuwajalin, was a Kajeran military officer, statesman, and scholar who served as the first president of Kajera from 1825 to 1830. Selected by the Konkomman to command the Army of the Islands, Rekuwajalin led the army to victory in the Kajeran Reunification and oversaw the Council of the Dawn in 1825, which created and ratified the Consitution of Kajera and the Kajeran government.
