Claim for land, houses and house lots.

I hereby petition to you the commissioners who settle land claims and houses, at Kooka, Lahaina, and Hononana in Kahakuloa, ; and Kaiwiki in Hilo, . The source of my land claim at Kooka and Hononana is from kane who gave it to me in its entirety. The source of my claim at Kaiwiki, a secure title, is my father who received it from .

The time that Hoapili gave me those lands sighted above was before the death of the chief Kalaimoku. At the time that the King Kamehameha I was residing at Kailua, that is when he gave my father Kaiwiki, and that is how it comes to me. All of the explanations and understanding, and all the rights thereto shall be explained by me to you, at the time you question me about these land claims. You may then also confer with the witnesses which I will present before you.

I am with true appreciation.

By Paikaualani. Lahaina. Dec. 21, 1846.

Helu 282 B Paikaualani Kooka Native Testimony Volume 2:70-71

Z. Kaauwai Sworn. I know the lot here, at Kooka, and the loi. It was a place without loi before. Paikaualani made the loi at that place, adjoining the loi made for Hoapili. I saw the day that it was tramped down (hehi ia ai). It was during the life of Hoapili, though I do not remember the year. Following the death of Hoapili, I heard that it was given to Kapu, and Kapu told me that he had been given the loi of Paikaualani. I do not know the reason it was taken from him, nor did I hear why he was without it.

Naea Sworn. I have seen those two things, the lot and the loi in Kooka. Paikaualani got it from Kahiole, and Paikaualani made the loi. Prior to that it was an open place, during the time that Nahienaena and Hoapili were living. I saw the treading of it but I did not know of its’ being taken from him afterwards, with the establishment of the Law.
