No. 10605*K, Iona Piikoi, Honolulu, February 10, 1848
N.R. 563v4
Greetings to you the Land Commissioners: We hereby enter our claims for land, being the lands which passed to us by the division of lands of the Mo`i. Here are Iona Piikoi's:
1. Paa, with its lihis and its leles, Ahupua`a at Kona, Kauai
2. 2. Pualoalo and its lihi and leles, `ili at Honolulu, Oahu.
3. 3. Kaluaoopu, with its lihis and its leles, `ili at Waiawa, Ewa.
4. 4. Mikiola, with its lihis and leles, `ili at Kaneohe, Koolau.
5. 5. Kainehe, with its lihis and leles, Ahupua`a at Lahaina, Maui.
Here at Kamakee's:
6. Keapuka, lihis and leles, perhaps, `ili at Kaneohe, Koolau.
7. Kewalo, lihis and leles, perhaps, at Honolulu, Oahu.
Kindly award our claims, with their lihis and their leles, and all the places which wrongfully went to someone else, and which were trespassed upon and which were perhaps wrongfully occupied, and the places which were conveyed by lease, and all the rights which pertain in the names of those lands - the right to the protected fish and the wood and the water and everything which is said to pertain to these lands. That is what we give to you to work on and quiet title to us and to award in a way as to benefit the populace who are living on the land, and the lands which we occupy which also are for us. Here are these claims: a house lot in Honolulu, also, at Kamooiki, Honuaula, is a plantation of coconut trees.
I am, respectfully,
I. PIIKOI, KAMAKEE
/Translator's note: As far as I can determine, lihi is a pretty elastic term, meaning boundary or edge, but stretched to mean other areas not necessarily contiguous. Lele, of course, means "jump" areas./
