Disputed by No. 11216, M. Kekauonohi (for L. Haalelea)
This dispute is over Lumahai, land of L. Konia and Wainiha, land of Kekauonohi (for L. Haalelea) specifically about the boundaries between them.
Kekela, sworn, I had first lived on the island at the time of Kamehameha I, and I had seen the boundary between Lumahai and Wainiha in Halelea, island of Kauai. The following is the correct boundary as I have known it. Kahililoa is one by the mountain, from there to the point of the big ridge, running from the mountain mentioned above to the place called Kaunupepeiao, where the fungus tree had stood and to the limestone point. The house of Kanealauwahine stood just mauka of this place, this entire house was in Wainiha's boundaries. The front of the house was facing the kukui tree and this had been for Lumahai. All of this have fallen apart. Kaaluhu is the area from the limestone point to Lehualaau, from there to Kaae and continuing to Weka, on to the very sharp peak toward the sea. The deep sea is on the Wainiha side, Lumahai is the dry side and it has been that way to the present day. Our land Lumahai has been from Kaumualii, we had freed the natives to do Konohiki labor from the time of Kam I to the time of the battle of Kauai. I had returned to Oahu after this time and the land was passed on to David Papohaku, Lumahai was taxed from long ago to the time of the Kauai War. I have no knowledge about it after that time.
Puaino (wahine), sworn, I was born here at the time of Kaumualii, I have seen these disputed places. This land was a show place. Kahililoa is the boundary on the mountain side which separates Lumahai from Wainiha, from there to the place called Kaanawahie, then it runs to the place named Hananalele, then to Kalohilewalewa and to Kalaukahinalo, which is the house site. The boundary continues to Leipihi, from there to Hookinoamanu and after the ridged pali, it comes down to Kaunupepeiao which is a house site. The men who lived on this place were for Wainiha. The kula of Lumahai extends from Kaunupepeiao to Kapuuiki, then to Kaaluhee. This is what I have known from that time to the present. Our house stood where the old church was standing, Kahului is my father, Kahuluula is my mother and they lived at Lumahai for the food. It was tax hookupu for that side as well as for this side for the residents. There has been no tax from the time of Kaumualii to the present, Kahui has never taxed me. He is the Konohiki of Wainiha.
Pakee, sworn, I was born in Wainiha at the time Kaumualii was serving the government and I have seen the boundary which separates Wainiha and Lumahai. The boundary near the mountain is the place called Kamahinaakehau, from there to Pipiwai, then to Lohihala until it reaches Kalaekalauhinalo; it continues from there to Hookinoamanu, then to Okipepeiao and to Popoki and from there to the long rock named Kaiae, then running to the point and directly into the sea. I have never known that this place had been conveyed for Wainiha since I was born to the present time and according to my understanding and knowledge, this place is for Lumahai. Kanekoa was the Konohiki of Wainiha and the tenants were Kuehina, the husband and Pukoa the wife. No tax was levied against this man by Kanekoa for his days and the Konohiki of Lumahai shall assess for the days of Kaumualii to the time of Liholiho, also for the present time. Kuehina died before the battle of Wahiawa and there has been taxes always to this day.
Koka, sworn, I was born at Hanauiaulu at the time of Kaumualii and when I had become older, we (I) went with the Akua Makahiki. Once, I had seen the Akua Makahiki make his rounds and stopped at Kaunupepeiao I was a stranger and making the circuit with the Akua Makahiki. I was not familiar with the boundaries makai or mauka, I had only seen that the Akua Makahiki stood at that place I had mentioned in the above. I had seen this during the time of Kaumualii. Recessed till tomorrow for the witnesses of Wainiha concerning Lumahai.
Wainiha, 23 Aug. 1854
Kamoolehua, sworn, I was born at the time Kaeo was chief for Kauai here in Lumahai. I grew up there with my father Upepe, who was a Konohiki for Lumahai. Upon his death, I succeeded him as Konohiki, which gave me the responsibility of putting the men of Lumahai to work.
The boundaries which separate Lumahai and Wainiha are:
On the mountain side is Waialeale and running to Kahililoa, from there to Kapuuwahie, then reaching Eeahu, it continues to Kamakakiloia and finally to Akuakaahea, a celebrated area. Kuli was the tenant of Lumahai and he worked there. My grandfolks told me that the Akua (God) used to call out to him, "Kuli, is it work only for you and not to get the fish from Wainiha here?" and Kuli did go to Wainiha for fish then return to Lumahai. I was with my parents during the ancient [practice] of Akua makahiki, Lumahai's people took the akua called "Kahalahala" and the Akua of Kaluakukae came to this place of celebration which was at a ridge. The tenants of Wainiha paid their tribute here. The place called "Kealawele" is the lower land in Lumahai to Kapuuwahie and running crookedly to Keahua. I have always seen these boundaries from the time I had been born. Manuhaipo was the chief of Lumahai and my father was the Kanaka, Peapea was the chief of Wainiha and Kahuionohi was the kanaka. Manuhaipo died and Keawe succeeded him, with Kuluhiwaikai as the kanaka. Kamaholelani was chief and Kekoo was kanaka of Wainiha; Keawe died and Kiikii succeeded him as Konohiki for Lumahai, the name of the kanaka was not known to me. Kamaholelani died, Wainiha was conveyed to Kalaimoku with Kipopu as Konohiki and Kahui as the kanaka. Kiikii died and the land went to Kaumualii and Kahulupue was the kanaka. When Kahulupue died, D. Papohaku succeeded him as kanaka with A. Paki as land chief. The land Wainiha went to M. Kekuaonohi after Kalaimoku's death and it has been that way to the present time. I have known about these boundaries I have mentioned above since that time to this day and it is only at this time there is a dispute over this place. I have never known this before and here has always been a tax for each and every property. I have seen the place upon which the house of Kanealauwahine stood it is the place of the old church. The house of Kanealauwahine is for Wainiha; also, the place called Kaaluhee and the same goes for the place called Kumupepeiao and the ridge, if the rock rolls this way, it is for Wainiha, should it roll on the other side, it shall be for Lumahai. My grandmother, Kanopio had indicated to me these boundaries as has been related and I have repeatedly heard of them since their death to the present time.
Kanohi, sworn, I was born at the time Kaumualii was with the government, I have seen the boundaries of Wainiha and Lumahai over which there is a dispute. Waialeale is mauka nd runs until Kahililoa, then coming back to Kapuuwahie, to Kalualepo or Kaluakukae and continuing to Makakiloia, finally reaching Kekuakahea. Kahulupue was Konohiki of Lumahai and Kamaholelani was chief. I have known from that time to the present that this land section over which there is a dispute, in that it belongs to Wainiha has been taxed. This had been a lele section for the ili of Wainiha named Kiilua, where there was taro and the sea and the tax for Wainiha has been high because there was a great amount of noni here. My father Kiko told me about these boundaries and I have remembered to this time. I am a Konohiki at present for the ili of Kiilua.
Kuiwaa, sworn, I was born during the time of Kaumualii here in Wainiha and I have seen the boundaries between Lumahai and Wainiha. Mauka is Waialeale and coming this way to Kahililoa, to Kapuuwahie, to Kalualepo or Kauakukae, from there to Kamakakiloia, running until Keakuakahea passing the rock on that side which is for Lumahai and passing on this side for Wainiha. I have known this disputed place has been taxed; that is the ili of Kiilua, I haven't heard about this boundary but, I have actually seen it for having lived together with Kamaholelani. My parents are natives of this place and I have known the boundaries of the disputed land. I have heard from Kamaholelani that husband of Kekela, about the boundaries of this land. I have not heard that this boundary is for Lumahai.
Kamaka, sworn, I was born during the time of Kamehameha I, in Kohala, Hawaii. During the time of Liholiho we came to Kauai here in the role of a kahuna and landing on Huleia. Kaumualii came from Waimea and it was the kapu period when we arrived in Wailua. We were there until the kapu was lifted and it was there until the kapu again in Anahola to the heiau of Wainiha for which Kahulupue was the kahuna. He related that Waialeale is the boundary mauka and no land has reached Wainiha except Waialeale. Makakiloia is on the ocean side and there was no house upon our arrival there, I had not seen any more and we the kahunas of Kaili the god were told by Kahulupue that the heiau is the boundary of Wainiha.
Keaka (wahine), sworn, I was born in Kainaliu of Kona, Hawaii before the battle of Nuuanu. I came to Kauai here for the first time with by brother Kinopu and lived here in Wainiha, then Kalaimoku let us (two) have Wainiha. I had heard about Waialeale as the boundary and it was hearsay only about these boundaries as related by the witnesses. Living has been peaceful, only at this time I see there is a dispute.
Daniel Oleloa, sworn, after the battle of Wahiawa I became the over-all luna of Kauai and on my tour I noticed that all of the people on this side made their tributes on Wainiha here, it was the same for that side of this ridge, tributes were for Lumahai.
I do not know the true boundaries which would separate these lands, but I have known the tenants of these two lands well.
