Translation: [Page 1 of 3] [Archival note in another hand] Translation of the letter ascribed to Boki in the London Quarterly Review The island of Oahu, January 24th, 1826 No. 206 Sir, I am taking this opportune time to send you these few lines with the hope they find you in good health. Loving God is my way now. I regret to inform you about Mr. Pitt, whose pain increased since the time you all sailed off, but thanks to God he has found comfort at this time and we are thinking he will recover. I regret to inform you about Mr. Bingham, the head of the missionaries; he is making great efforts to take into his own hands the law of this land. We are all delighted by some people who instruct us in goodness and decency, but he wants us to live solely under his laws which are not beneficial for the people of this land. I have worked hard to oppose that and have been able to since that time. Kaahumanu wants [Page 2 of 3] all the power of the land to go to the missionaries, but I will oppose this whenever I have the opportunity, because if it all goes to them, nothing will get done in these islands; they surely will not cultivate any food for themselves. I want the people to learn script and �handwriting and how to do these things, but the missionaries have all the people under them day and night, both the old people and the new, and for that reason, little is getting done at this time. The majority of Hawaiians are angry with the missionaries because we think that the law might fall into their hands. Captain Charlton did not arrive from Tahiti and for that reason I am thinking something bad has befallen him. Mr. Bingham has become lost in his lengthy sermons to the people of this land. King George does not honor God, nor does Lord Byron or any of the royalty [Page 3 of 3] of Britain; they are just wrongdoers and are the only ones remaining, but not all of the heads of Britain and America will be saved. May God send you prosperity and long life. Mrs. Boki sends kind regards to Lord Byron and Mr. Cameron and the honorable Mr. Hill. From Boki [In another hand - Boki's own?] I did not write this. [Archival note in original file] Translation of the above denial: This communication was not written by me. See 259 [Letter cover] Boki’s denial of the not Letter in the Quarterly Review Recd. Apr. 18, 1829 Notes: 1. Boki - Born under the name Kamāʻuleʻule, the high chief was known by the nickname Boki (“Boss”). He was the governor of Oʻahu and an entrepreneur. 2. London Quarterly Review - This was a literary and political periodical published from 1809 to 1967, where the English version of this letter was apparently printed. 3. Mika Pitt - Mr. Pitt, or Billy Pitt was a name taken by Kālaimoku. Kālaimoku, also known as Kalanimoku and William Pitt Kalanimoku, was a trusted advisor of Kamehameha I. During the travels of Liholiho and Kamāmalu to Great Britain, he �4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. co-ruled with Kaʻahumanu, maintaining a leadership role during the first reigning years of the new king, Liholiho's younger brother, Kauikeaouli. Mika Binamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham was in the first company of missionaries that arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1820. Cahomano - Kaʻahumanu was the favorite wife of Kamehameha I and became Kuhina Nui after his death. Captain Charlton - This man was a businessman and the English Consul in Hawaiʻi who was a good friend of Liliha. Lord Byron - A captain in the British Royal navy who returned the bodies of King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamāmalu to Hawaiʻi on the HMS Blonde in May, 1825. Mr. Camrone, Mr. Hill - Mr. Cameron and Mr. Hill, who were greeted by Liliha, are likely other members of the party that escorted the bodies of the king and queen back to Hawaiʻi from England following their death there in 1824.

Annotation and translation not included here as part of the Awaiaulu MHM Project 2016] �Translation: [Page 1 of 2] [Copy] Copy of a letter from Hoapili to Kaahumanu giving an account of the firing on Lahaina and the reasons of it. No. 214 Lahaina, October 24, 1827 Greetings to you, Elizabeth Kaahumanu, Here is the statement about which I am informing you. We of Maui have erred. No one else is at fault, the fault is mine, because of my own thinking. Here is the reason for my mistake, you should look to God's message because we all said, women prostitutes must not go aboard the ships. I have heeded that decision of ours. Women secretly boarded the ship to prostitute, namely Nakoko and Mikapako. I do not know the names of some other women. I heard from some men that there were women aboard the ship. Then I asked the captain, Captain Clarke, to return the women. He did not agree and sneered at my words. That day passed, and the next morning I asked him again. I asked him three times. He then said to me, "Do whatever you like but you should not; it is not like that in Britain. You should not hold back the women from the British. The women who have gone wrong, do not restrain them or a man-of-war ship will come and slaughter you all." I then said "I give no consideration at all to what you say. The one thing I must concern myself with, is the women. You should return them, but if you do not, I will detain you ashore until the women are obtained. Then you may return to the ship." There was no agreement to my demand. Then I ordered men to get a skiff, I held the skiff and the foreigner [Page 2 of 2] ashore. He then said to me, "This land is full of ships. Maui must be free of restriction or it will burn, [leaving] no houses. My ship is ready to fire on you all tonight." I replied, "If the guns of the ship fire on us, I will hold you. You, me, and my chief will go elsewhere. If your men on the ship fire, we will remain calm, but if the men from the ship land ashore to fight, then my men will fight. You and I will remain calm, our men will do the fighting and I will keep you. If you do not give me the women, we will stay here ashore, and you will not return to your ship. I have only one desire, the return of the women." That is all I had to say. We stayed there from evening until nearly midnight, when the cannons of the ship fired. Mr. Richards came and said to me, "I came to arbitrate because of my concern for all of you, and my concern for them." Mr. Richards asked me, "What is your thought?" I said, ["]All that I want is for the women to be returned.["] Mr. Richards arbitrated for us. I then returned the foreigner, however we did not obtain the women. This is my intention that I have carried out for the land of your king, and it might be right or wrong. He said that he would sail to Oahu, to Boki and the British Consul to get them to make war upon us. Please heed this. Search for Nakoko and the others and if you find them, return them here to Maui. If the ship does not stop there, give orders to Pelekaluhi. That is all. �Regards to you all. Hoapilikane Notes: 1. Elisapeka Kaahumanu – The favorite wife of Kamehameha I, Kaʻahumanu was the first Kuhina Nui, or regent, from 1819-1832. She was an early Christian convert and a strong advocate for the Protestant religion. 2. Hoapilikane - Hoapilikāne, also known as Ulumeheihei, was a chief in the royal court of Kamehameha I. Because of his close kinship with Kamehameha, Ulumeheihei was dubbed Hoapili, or close friend, as a title of endearment. 3. Rikeke - William Richards came to Hawaiʻi with the second company of missionaries and taught at Lahainaluna. 4. Poki - Born under the name Kamāʻuleʻule, the high chief was known by the nickname Boki (“Boss”). He was the governor of Oʻahu and an entrepreneur. 5. Kanikele - Lit. Consul, this refers to the British Consul who at the time was Richard Charlton. 6. Pelekaluhi - Possibly a retainer of Boki. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I am keeping them for our king.[”] This is what I heard from Wahine Pio, but what we and everyone knows is that the gold coins are what Leoiki was sold for. To pay is a transaction. We all well know that the woman was sold for money. By Hoapili Wahine. [Archival translation, typescripted above] [Awaiaulu MHM Project 2016 translation of Hawaiian text] Here are my thoughts. I know well of Leoiki's purchase. It is quite clear to me. The receipt of gold coin was the sale of the woman. Her purchase is perfectly clear to us. Leoiki cried because she did not want to leave, but she could not [Page 3 of 3] [Awaiaulu MHM Project 2016 translation of Hawaiian text] stay because her chiefess wanted the money. Because of the crying, her purchase was apparent to us. But in our land, if you pay, it is a transaction. To prostitute is a transaction. To gift something is a transaction. To bribe someone to silence is a transaction. The transaction was perfectly clear; the woman was taken to sea. We all saw that Leoiki was sold for money; the child of the sale was grown. Everyone here on Maui knows that Leoiki was sold for money. My message is complete.

Wahine Pio - Kahakuhaʻakoi Wahinepio is the third wife of Kamehameha I and a sibling of Kālaimoku. She served as governor of Maui for a time.

April 14. 1828 Mr. Bingham Honolulu Kawaiahao Oahu Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Hawaii, Kaawaloa April 14, 1828 Greetings to you, Mr. Bingham, Here is my message to you two. You both should advise Hiwauli, my companion, to clarify for her the righteousness of the word of God, so that the actions of husband and wife in the kingdom properly fulfill all the practices of God regarding husband and wife. Just as all of you properly observe the roles of husband and wife, such is my intention for her. Regarding that which God has granted to us all as blessings for all persons, that is my thought to you two; that perhaps it is how it should be. Here is another message to the two of you, Kaawaloa is good, there is decorum, wisdom, strength, and proper care, but it is only the two chiefs, their retainers and some other people. On the Sabbath, however, many people are there on that day. I give my salutations to you two there, and to Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Goodrich and the printers. Beloved is our work. I proceed, thoughtful of our efforts. Do extend my regards to the visitors. God has protected them with grace and God has watched over all of you along with us here in this land of darkness. Deep regards for you folks who see all those who come there. We all love Jesus Christ, our Lord of salvation. John Ii [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] John Ii.

John Ii [Pages 5 through 8 is an English translation that was part of the original file. Annotation and translation from original not included here as part of the Awaiaulu MHM Project 2016] Translation: [Page 1 of 8] Oahu, Honolulu February 26, 1829 Here are the actions of the house wreckers that we saw carrying out destruction. �On Sunday, the 26th of February in late afternoon, about four o'clock, they arrived at the yard of Kalaimoku's house. We saw them running this way, drunk on rum, and they entered the stone house of Kalaimoku and climbed atop that stone house with clubs in their hands. I entered after them and we looked from below at them doing damage above the door of that building and the glass panes of three windows were smashed by them as well as that of the main door, a fourth, which they scattered down in pieces. Many people came at that time for evening prayers, for they intended to hear the word of God, but before we prayed those troublemakers arrived so a great number of people sat quietly and calmly watched their mischief. My thought to Boki was that we should hold them without beating them, because these scoundrels had no right, and that is what I said to Boki. Because of that statement that I made to him, he ordered all the people sitting there to not make trouble to them, that it was fine as it was. Kahalaia was there, another chief, and the people everywhere in Honolulu heard so they came thinking that it was just a battle, for it had been heard that they were coming to tear down [Page 2 of 8] the house of the missionaries and to beat them. Women were the offense, for they guessed that the missionaries had made the sanction, but that was not so; the chiefs had laid the sanction for they knew that the word of God was right saying not to commit adultery, not to commit prostitution and that is why they forbade it. It was not done by the missionaries. When their destruction ended, they all came down from that house and stood with the people, saying to us, ["]There is no goodness about the missionaries, they are deceitful people. It is not that way in Britain and America. The missionaries are liars.["] And that is how they spoke to us. Their statements having ended, it had reached five o'clock and they all left that place, going off to destroy Bingham's house. He followed after them on a different path, coming from among the people, but none of the people followed along behind him. The place was filled with people sitting quietly. His wife, [Mrs.] Bingham had seen the rogue foreigners with sticks in their hands headed there so she closed the door and locked it. They quickly reached the door of the house, it being the second house they attacked, and wreaked damage there. They shattered the glass panes of the windows which scattered down. They saw Bingham going there from where we were. So they gathered together to beat him with the wood from the door of his house, but he was caught by a foreigner from the whaling fleet who had come with the scoundrel foreigners, [Page 3 of 8] and he was saved by that foreigner. So he quickly came back with that foreigner who had saved him and we followed after to take care of him. He came and stood with us and with a chiefess, Lidia Piia, she being a student of his, and she stood in front of him. I was there as well. The foreign scoundrels followed him all the way with no fear of our great numbers, and then stood with us, some with clubs, others with jack knives, with evil statements coming from their mouths, and Bingham was talking with one of the foreigners. Then one of those foreign scoundrels suddenly struck at him with a stick, hitting his umbrella. The blow on that umbrella was fended off by Lidia and then I grabbed the stick from the hand of that foreigner. I seized it, and because of that the foreigners were afraid and they fled. The people talked of seizing them all, for finally we should make trouble to them for their �prior mischief to our chiefs for no reason, and that is the same way that they attacked the teachers, who had made no transgression. Because of that, they were all seized and held. Kaahumanu saw us and that the foreigners had all been seized by us, so she called down to us from up on the house, ["]Do not beat the foreigners; you should take care of them.["] The people heeded her words and sat quietly. That is my message. I am reporting [Page 4 of 8] to all of you in that land of America so that you know the wrongdoings of some of your people here, those foreigners.
