Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain,
Here are some I know who would join the Poaha, one teacher and one student.
These are my people, Ronohiwa being the name of the first and Kauhihonu the name of

Kekuanaoa

�Notes:
1. mi Kamelana - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of
missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and a missionary
teacher.
2. Makaio Kekuanaoa - Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was married to
Iosepeta Kīnaʻu at the time of this letter and they were both important members of
the royal court. He would become the Royal Governor of the island of Oʻahu
from 1834-1868 and served as a member of the House of Nobles and Privy
Council, and went on to become the 6th Kuhina Nui of the Hawaiian Islands.
3. Ronohiwa &amp; Kauhi - The letter does not clarify which of these two names is a
teacher and which is a student. These are the individuals Kekūanāoʻa supported to
join the Poʻahā.

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.
