Umiumi 1 Alapai 2 Ku 3 Kaiole 4 Kapalauhulu 5 Halai 6 Huluhulu 7 That is all of the men Mahuka first woman 1 Haupu 2 Kaheaku 3. All together there are 10 of them. From Makaio Kekuanaoa Oahu [Page 2 of 2] [Cover Letter] From Kekuanaoa November 18, 1830 To Levi Chamberlain Notes: 1. Liwi/Liwai Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and a missionary teacher. 2. poaha - Po‘ahā, lit. Thursday, is a reference to the Bible study meetings, held on Thursdays, that prepared one for baptism and membership in the church congregation. 3. Paukane - Pau kāne, unnumbered, indicates the close of the kāne, the males, the following three entries being female. That would explain Kekūanāoʻa's mistaken (and corrected) counting, where he crossed out "kumamakahi," meaning eleven. It seems he accidently added Paukane as a name in his initial tally. 4. akahiwahi 1 - This is likely a truncated form of ʻakahi wahine, or "first female." 5. Kekuanaoa - Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was first married to Kalani Pauahi and then to Elizabeth Kīnaʻu. He was a member of the royal court and held important positions in the Hawaiian government throughout his life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
