Na Gidiona Laanui [Letter Cover] Laanui 1831 Na Mi Kamelani Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain, Here is this man named Kahalekuaaina who wishes to join the Poaha. He is a retainer for me and he is from the lewa group. He has expressed this message to me four times. From Gidiona Laanui [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] Laanui 1831 For Mr. Chamberlain �Notes: 1. Mi. Kamelani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain arrived in Honolulu with the second company of missionaries in 1823. He served as the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission. 2. poaha - The 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. papalewa - Interpreted here as the lewa group; the term lewa could either mean deep knowledge or not stationary, but no context provides the distinction. In other letters, Laʻanui recommends members of a net-fishing group, and that could be the meaning of this reference. 4. Gidiona Laanui - Gideon Peleiōhōlani Laʻanui was a native of Waimea, Hawaiʻi who was partly raised in the court of Kamehameha I. He was an early convert and became an active member of the church, living in Waialua, Oʻahu. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
