Testimony
Keakaokawai, kane, sworn, I was born at Kealakekua a few years before the death of Kamehameha 1st (Note; this is the same witness that was on Kahuku boundaries). I moved at time of Kana o Kiku okalani (1820) to Lehuula (was grown at that time); I now live at Hookukano, North Kona and am a kamaaina of Kona.
I used to go on the mountain with my Father collecting sandalwood and catching birds; his name was Kauluahi, and old bird catcher and kamaaina now dead; Honalo bounds Keauhou 2 at sea shore on South side; A pali aa called Lekeleke is the boundary at sea shore between these lands; thence the boundary runs mauka along lands on Honalo sold to different parties on Honalo, to a place called Nohomoanahoaiku, in the woods on the makai side of pali; Thence along the Government portion of Honalo to Kapapakauheana, a round water hole in the woods in the centre of Honalo. Thence the boundary runs mauka to Kaimuhapu, a water hole; thence to Kipukauki, most of this place is on Keauhou, and a small portion on Honalo [page 257]; said land being now overgrown in aa; thence to Komomoku, a pali which is the boundary between Keauhou and Honalo. There Keauhou turns south and cuts Honalo off, nearly through the woods; thence to Kaukahoku, junction of Lehuula nui; said place is an Ahuapohaku, a small hill of pahoehoe covered with scrub ohia and mamani; thence along Lehuula nui to Keanakiha, a small cave where natives used to sleep; Thence to an ahu pohaku, mauka of the ana, built in olden times and now knocked down by the goats; this is an open spot with scrub ohia and mamani growing all around; thence along Lehualanui to a place called Kepuhi at Governor Adams road through the woods, scrub koa and other trees growing there.
The land of Hookukano cuts of Lehuulanui at Governor Adams road; thence along the land of Hookukano. This land [crossed out word] this land runs mauka. In olden times, Keaumokunui, the Alii nui of Keauhou claimed all the geese on Hookukano, Kealakekua and other lands and used to divide the geese. The uwao were left for konohiki of these lands. The land was not the property of the Keauhou chief when my Father and I divided the geese with the Keauhou konohiki; but the Uwao we had to divide with the Konohiki of Hookukano and not with the konohiki of Keauhou, unless we took the uwao on Keauhou; thence mauka from Kepulu to Kamoike along Hookukano, the aa on Keauhou, and from thence the boundary runs to Keanaakala, a small cave, thence to Kikikiaeae, a long hill (puu lepo) at mauka corner of Hookukano, trees of all kinds growing all around; thence South again to Kamakaulaula, pahoehoe along mauka end of Hookukano in woods; thence up aa called Kainapahoa; thence down on to pahoehoe to a cave called Aahuwela, corner of Kealakekua and Hookukano, said cave used to have water in it; thence along Kealakekua, running mauka about one half of a mile to Umi's road. Kanohoano o Umi; aa with mamani trees growing both sides of the road. When I used to go up with my father, these were only a few mamani trees growing makai of the road, now there are a great many, both sides of the road.
Thence turn south again across aa to Haliilaukoa [page 258] (where Umi sat and they spread Koa leaves for him, old tradition). Few koa and ohia trees grow there; they are mostly mamani; thence the boundary runs up an Ahua to Kanekii, a small water hole which dries up in dry weather. Keauhou mauka and Kealakekua makai; thence to Kalulu; Keauhou mauka and Kealakekua makai (pahoehoe); which is where we used to catch birds in olden times; the Uwao belonging to both lands. At Kanekii, the boundary leaves Umi's road and goes makai of it; From Kalulu to a place called Kakai a lae Koa (Koa grove on Pahoehoe, the South East corner; thence turn makai along Kealakekua, to a large mawae called Kawahapele; thence down along said mawae to Puuloa, a pali on the mauka corner of land of Honaunau. The woods extend there now; In olden times there were hardly any trees there. I have forgotten the names of the places beyond here on boundary of Keauhou and other lands along there. I have not been along there often. Kanupa is the place where Keauhou joins Kaulanamauna, a Kipapale ana, junction of Keauhou, Manuka and Kaulanamauna. All kinds of trees grow there, also small spots of pahoehoe in the aa. I have only been there once when I went with my father before I was fully grown. Do not know as I could find it now; thence mauka to Kilohana, on an aa flow where we used to catch birds and where Kahuku joins Keauhou.
Thence along Kahuku to Kilauala, on Umi's road; From Puuloa to Kanupa Keauhou used to take the pahoehoe above the woods and the Kong lands reached to the mauka edge of the woods from Kilohana along Kapapala to Pohakuhanalei, a hill on the top of the mountain; thence the boundary runs down to Kolekole, a hill where Humuula joins Keauhou and cuts Kapapala off; thence down the side of the mountain to Kaaawa, along Humuula, there Puanahulu joins Keauhou and Humuula stops. Kaaawa is pahoehoe with small ohia trees, and also other kinds of trees growing there; thence the boundary runs to a hill called Kalalua, along the land of Puanahulu. A large hill can be seen from Ahua Umi, which is at Hualalai; Thence the boundary runs down to pili land, to Palahinui, along Puanahulu; thence to Hapukaa, on Umi's road to Waimea [page 259] on the pahoehoe; thence Kanupa 2, a cave in pili land, now covered with the lava flow of 1850 to Kiholo; thence to Kanupa 3, a cave hear the base of Hualalai, where the land of Puuawaa joins Keauhou; thence the boundary runs up the mountain to a cave on the side of the mountain, above the woods called Waikulukulu, thence to Puuakawai, an old water hole now filed up by cattle tramping around it; this place is the junction of the land Kaopulehu with Keauhou.
Thence the boundary runs to the mauka side of a hill called Haalulu in a hollow between the hill and an Ahua; Thence along to Kaluamakani, a large hole or crater; there Kapulehu ends and Honuaula joins Keauhou; thence along this land to Puulalaau, a hill where the land of Punoa is on the makai side, Honuaula is very narrow at the mauka end. The boundary of Keauhou runs along the mauka edge of woods above Puulalaau, and along to Mawae, there the land of Kaomalumalu [Kaumalumalu?] joins Keauhou; thence along to Kamomoku to Judd road, on the mauka edge of the woods; thence along what used to be the edge of the woods (the trees are now all grown along Kaumalumalu) to aa where Kahaluu joins Keauhou.
I do not know the boundaries between the land of Kahaluu and Keauhou, or between the two Keauhous.
Cross-examined by J.D. Paris
I have never heard that the land of Kahauloa extends mauka to Keauhou. I do not know the boundaries of Kahauloa.
Cross-examined by Commissioner
There are two places called Kamomoku, one on the boundary of Honalo, a pali nui in the Koa, the real boundary is along crack, running up most through the woods, the second place of that name is on Kaomalumalu, a pali on the road makai of Charley Walls' house, Lehuulanui is a large land in the woods wider than from here to Greenwells (about one (1) mile).
Hukikee was the konohiki of Keauhou at the time I went with my father and others catching geese. He told us that one half of the geese one caught belonged to Keauhou, [page 260] and he claimed the geese on all the different lands, but always used to divide them. I was not old enough to catch geese at that time, but only went along with my father; I do not know where Honaunau, Keei and other lands end beyond Kealakekua, or what lands join Keauhou along there. Kukai is makai and towards Kau of a water hole called Pupuewai.
I have never seen Puueleele or Ohialele. I have never seen and do not know where the places called Puukeokeo, Hanamauloa, Pohakuloa, Kaaalohi, Puuhoohia, Hapaimamano, Halepohaha, or Puulouolono are. I do not know the boundaries between Keauhou and Kahuku near the woods but know them near the top of the mountain. Do not remember the name of the place where Kapapala and Keauhou cut Kahuku off. Know a place called Puukulua; it is at the hill Aamoku, but do not know what lands join there.I do not know whether Kaohe of Hamakua extends to Pohakuhanalei or not; I know the boundary between Humuula and Keauhou from Pohakuahanalei to kolekole and Kaaawa.
Kapapala ends at Pohakuhanalei and Humuula joins Kaaawa there, and Puanahulu joins Keauhou and bounds it to Kalalua, the place where Puanahulu people tried to kill my Father.
I have made a mistake in saying that Puanahulu bounds Keauhou at Kaaawa. Kaohe of Hamakua is the land that bounds Keauhou at Kaaawa; thence the boundary runs to Palahinui along Kaohe and passing the hill of Kalalua; thence to Naelamakule, a place covered by a lava flow; thence to Hapukaa, where Kaohe ends and Puanahulu joins Keauhou. Kaohe is mauka side of Umi's road to Waimea and Puanahulu is makai of the road, from Hakapukaa along Puanahulu to Kanupa 2d and Kanupa 3d. (I have never heard that Kapulehu reaches to the top of Hualalai. My Father pointed out these boundaries to me)
Continued until August 5th A.D. 1873. Witnesses not having arrived.

.... the geese of Keauhou, but that the Hookukano chief used to take Uwau mauka of this point, as I have testified to before. It took three quarters of an hour to go from this point to Waiio.
Waiio is a small round water hole in a kipuka pili, on the makai side of a koa grove. Keakaikawai states that in olden times there were not many mamani trees makai of this point and also that there were not many koa trees near here. There are a great many koa trees around there now. Keaka states that the geese on Kealakekua opposite this place and as far makai as Nahuina formerly belonged to Keauhou and the uwau to Kealakekua. We then proceeded towards Mauna Loa, to a place pointed out as Makaulaula, the boundary claimed by Keaka as the mauka boundary of Hookukano. Nothing particular there to mark the place. Thence towards Kohala to a low hill of scoria (with a small crater in it) called Kikiaeae. This hill is covered with mamani trees and was pointed out as on the boundary between Keauhou and Hookukano. On the way to this point we came to a water hole called Waiapalai, on Umi's road. The pahoehoe is covered with mamani and koa trees so that you cannot see much of the surrounding country as you ride along and the road winds around so that it is impossible to form an idea of the distance from point to point. Reached Wall's house on the Judd road at half past four o'clock in the afternoon. Said house is a short distance mauka from the upper edge of the forest.
June 11th 1874
Proceeded up Hualalai and visited Kipahe's. It is quite a deep crater with a water hole in one side of it. Napuu Mahoe are a short distance toward Mauna Loa from this [page 259] point and Hualalai hill a short distance makai. Kahueai, kane, pointed out the point Kipahee as the boundary between Keauhou and Kaupulehu, and as running on the south side of Hualalai hill and along a ridge of hills and passing down the western slope of the mountain. Visited Honuaula hill, on the top of the mountain, on the southwest brow of the mountain; a short distance above the deep round pits called Kaluamakani; these pits are on the Kohala side of the hill. The weather was so foggy that we could not see into the valley around the foot of the mountain. Returned to Mr. Walls.
June 12th 1874
Left Mr. Walls at sunrise and proceeded to Mana in Hamauka.
As we crossed the lava flow of 1859 Keakaikawai pointed out Mailihahei, and also the boundaries between Keauhou and Kaohe, that he had testified to.

Keauhou 2d, North Kona, Hawaii, Balance of the testimony of Komaka
From Folio 259 of this book
From Ka Hale o Umi, junction of Keauhou and Kahuku I have always heard that Keauhou cuts off the Kona lands at the mauka edge of the woods. Do not know what lands run through woods. Heard Kaapuna ends at Ahinui, Opihale 2d at Ulimau, a punawai about as far as [page 320] from here to Capt. Gates' house, above woods. Thence along edge of koa along Opihale 1st; thence along Olelomoana 2d, along koa grove, thence along edge of woods along land of Kolo; thence along Kukuiopae, along koa grove. I pointed out the place to Keanapaakai. Thence to Kukuiopae 1st along hollow Kapai, mauka end of Kukuiopae 1st. Runs up as far as hollow extends. The Kau boundary is the Kona side of goat pen above the water hole where we got water the first night. Thence along Kaohe 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 along edge of woods. Kaohe of Kaopua ends mauka of Polewai at Kapualei, a short distance from where we ate. The lands this side of there end at the koa. Have heard Pahoehoe ends at Kamakaili, the lae mamani in awaawa; thence along Alae to Puuoluamanu; thence along Honokua 2 to Kaopapa, a cave near the koa; thence along Honokua 1st. Have heard it ends at the koa at Puuikaiole, the goat pen mauka of Lumia, a hill. From there I do not know where Waiea ends. Have (not) (heard) from my makua that it runs to the Alohi; thence to water hole I found, named Komakawai, because I found it where we slept. Do not know what land it is on. I have always heard that Kealia and Hookena do not reach above woods. Have heard that Hookena reached to a few scattering koa trees on Kau side of Kealia trail, but not to Laemamani out on Pahoehoe. This is as far as I know the boundaries between Keauhou & shore lands. I have been around there chasing goats on this side.

In Re Boundaries of Keauhou 2d, District of North Kona, Island of Hawaii
The Boundary Commission met at the house of J.G. Hoapili, Keauhou, North Kona, on the 15th of June, 1886, according to Notice in the Hawaiian Gazette, and Kuokoa, of May 1886; there being present J.M. Alexander, S.W. Mahelona, D. Makainai, D. Alawa, and many others. J.M. Alexander and S.W. Mahelona, for Petitioner.
Evidence
J.M. Alexander, sworn, I began surveying this land at the sea shore, adjoining Keauhou 1st, Keohi of Kainaliu being my guide. We began a little South of the land of Moikeha, and followed the survey of Keauhou 1st which is under Royal Patent (I have not the number), on the to the head of the Holua, an old sliding place. I usually give the old notes of adjoining lands, and then my bearings and distances by true meridian, as I find it on the ground; then on to the Government road, to a pile of stones marked X above the road; we marked all corners thus.
Keauhou 1st and 2d join; then to Pohakunahaha, Kealoha Maui, and on another guide; then on to head of Kahaluu, to Kaumalumalu at Kaalapuali. Kaumalumalu had not been surveyed before, nor has Kahaluu.
Palauolelo was our guide on to "Pihapono," at the South side of the Judd road, and on along Kaumalumalu to "Mawae," a long crack, and on to Kauhikahua, a pile of stones Hitchcock put up; then to Holualoa, to where Kaoiwi and Kamali had pointed out the boundaries of Holualoa survey; they two then shewed the boundary adjoining Holualoa to Puulaalaau; then on to Honuaula (The West Trig. Station); from there on is as I have already given in Kaupulehu to "Puunahaha" then along Puuanahulu. Aalona shewed me on; we searched for the pile of stones by Map and notes of survey of Hitchcock, at Nahulielua; then straight on to Mokuaweowei, to Kaohe of Hamakua, to a volcanic cone in the Crater of Mokuaweoweo, the corner of Kaohe [page 34] Kapapala, Kahuku and Keauhou 2d as given in the Notes of Survey of those lands; from there on we followed the survey of Kahuku; Komaka from Kaohe of Kona, being our guide. Keohi, Kealoha Maui, and Johnson, were my guides along the Kona lands. Where there are patented lands, adjoining we followed them, and given them by their noes and No. of the Royal Patents, to Hoonalo. At Hoonalo, Keohi shewed me the boundary to the sea.
Hoonalo has not been surveyed. "Lekeleke" is the named of the boundary at the sea shore; then along the sea to the commencement; containing 106,560 acres, finished on May 6th 1886.
Palanolelo, kane, sworn, I live at Kaumalumalu, North Kona. I know the boundaries of Keauhou 2d, from Kaalapuali to Pihapono, and to Mawae, and to Kauhikahua, and there ends my work.
Aalona, kane, sworn, At Naohulielua, Mr. Alexander wished me to shew him the boundary beyond where Palauolelo had pointed out, and I did so, along Keauhou 2d and Kaohe of Hamakua, to Mailehahaee, to Puuanahulu adjoining land, where it meets Kaupulehu. I know the mountain boundaries not the shore boundaries.
Commencing at Mailehahaee to Kalalakaupolo along Kaupulehu, and on to Honuaula, and to Puulaalaau, Holualoa makai of there, joins Keauhou 2d; then runs South along Holualoa. I never heard that Kaumalumalu went up into Keauhou, as given in the plan. The boundary should run straight from Puulaalaau to Kahaluu, nearly out of the lower edge of the woods; and Hitchcock surveyed it so before. Pihapono, Mawae, and Kauhikahua are way inside of Keauhou, the boundary is not at those places. Below, makai of this, I do not know the boundary.
Kupaakoa shewed me these boundaries. Mauna and Puhi told him they were old kamaainas in the mountains, and knew the [page 36] boundaries. I lived there and went with Kupaakoa. Keakaikawai was Hitchcock's guide in the mountain when he surveyed Keauhou, and he went to the same points I had been told were the boundary.
Palauolelo recalled: Those places, from Kaalapuali to Pihapono and to mawae, and to Kauhikahua, are the boundary between Keauhou and Kaumalumalu, where the birds of Kaumalumalu were caught below, and the Geese on the hills. I lived at Puuahau and used to go and catch birds in the mountain with my father. I saw Hitchcock survey Kaumalumalu, and I helped him put up the piles of stones.
I often saw Mauna; he was an old kamaaina here. I came from Kapapala, Kau, with my parents, used to go to the mountain for Uau. I knew Kupaakoa.
J.M. Alexander, sworn, We followed the Kaumalumalu guides for the upper end of that land. At Kauhikahua we found a pile of stones put up by Hitchcock, when he surveyed that land.
Keohi, kane, sworn, I live at Kainaliu, North Kona. I am not a kamaaina of the land, but know the noted spots by name.Commencing at "Lekeleke," at the sea shore, adjoining Honalo and Keauhou 2d, and we surveyed along the Government road to the cave called "Moekeha," at the shore, then up to the "Holua," then up to the Government road, then at another place, where Honalo joins, at "Kaukohaku," that was all I shewed;
I went with Emerson 2 weeks, and with Alexander a few days. Lehuula and Honalo join there, where Emerson surveyed had been surveyed by other lands before, and I pointed out the corners and noted points of those corners adjoining Keauhou, to Emerson, i.e. along Kealakeakua and other lands to Kahauloa, from Honalo.
Kealoha Maui (his evidence is said to be the same as Keohi's and is not questioned). [page 36]
Aalona recalled, The place given as "Pihapono" was not the name of that place formerly, but it was a goat pen, called "Pa Kao," where goats were driven in, and the pen being very full once, it was called "Pihapono" that place is on Keauhou.
J.M. Alexander, In one surveying the land of Keauhou, we found Aalona to be perfectly reliable and well acquainted with all points on the mountains; but Palauolelo was very unreliable; we had a great deal of trouble finding places, and lost much time, when Palauolelo was one guide; but the reverse when Aalona was one guide; and he was the only man who could shew us the place called "Mailehahee," where there was stunted maile growing.
Testimony closed
No objection offered.
Decided that the boundaries are as given in the Survey, except where it joins Kaumalumalu, which must be altered to correspond with the statement of Aalona.
