.... na was konohiki of this land under Kamehameha I, I had known this patch was for the konohiki because this was a huge patch with fish breeding in it for the konohiki and there was cultivation of taro. I have seen Kamehameha I, and Kalaimoku enjoy the yield of this patch. Uluaoao had this patch in his own hands together with the tenants of the land after Kahina had been released. The tenants who had a lease on hogs wanted to build a bank.
Kauhi, sworn, I have seen this place, it is in the ili of Puiwa in Kaneohe, Koolaupoko. I had seen Kahina as konohiki for all of Puiwa during the reign of Kamehameha I. A tenant had this Hoowaa, over which there is a dispute and many tenants have cultivated this patch. No koele work had been done during Kahina's konohikiship. Uluaoa was the new konohiki during the reign of Kamehameha II. Koele cultivation was done with three other separate patches from Hoowaa, they have always been koeles since the first people there.
Kamaikaaloa takes charge of this land after Uluaoa during the reign of Kamehameha II. Kekuku eats of the yield of the land under Kawaikaaloa and had Hoowaa at the same time. There were no koele or Friday days.
Kamaikaaloa was released after the government had taken this land while Kekuku continued to live here under the government. In 1849 Kapena bought this land from the government fee simple and Hoowaa had not been a koele. Kekuku had that patch. It has never been a patch for the konohiki, it has never yielded food for them since the beginning to Kapena's time. The Konohikis have never worked in this patch and nothing has ever been seen given to the konohikis from this patch. They had a claim to three other patches here,
