As stated above, Kamehameha's father, Keoua-kupa-a-pa-i-ka-lani is reported to be buried in a cave along the Pali <br /> Kapu 0 Keoua cliff line.According to Kamakau,the use of the cliffs for burial expanded at the behest of Ka'ahumanu <br /> following her conversion to Christianity. <br /> When Ka-'ahu-manu became a Christian she had all the images burned and ordered an end put to <br /> the practice of kahunaism.When she heard that some of the chiefs and people had been deifying <br /> the bones of chiefs deposited in the Hale-o-Keawe at Honaunau,Kona,and at Waipi`o in Hamakua, <br /> she gathered up the bones and deposited them in the cliffs of Ka'awaloa and burned the debris. <br /> Her name was heaped with abuse for this deed, but she really did place the bones where they <br /> would be undisturbed... (Kamakau 1961:322) <br /> A missionary station and school were established in coastal Ka'awaloa in the 1820s and the village served as a port <br /> until 1941. Dunn's 1924 map of Ka'awaloa Flats (see Figure 7) depicts the port area, along with house parcels. A <br /> railway is located along the inland side of the port facility, likely used to assist in the offloading of ships. <br /> Figure 8 is a map by Holland,a geographer,reproduced in Kelly(1983:14)showing the distribution of the population <br /> in central Kona in 1825. The map shows an estimated 250 people lived along the coast in Keopuka, and 150 lived <br /> inland.An 1835 missionary census lists a combined population of 462 for Keopuka and Ka'awaloa(Schmitt 1973:29). <br /> Hammatt et al. (1995)estimate that by 1860 the population of Keopuka and Ka'awaloa was 214. <br /> % <br /> 1 • 1•1 ' I` 1 <br /> • 1 9 • . 1 1 • 1 i %A' \ <br /> 11t % 1i a t i ill <br /> 1;1Z1 j . " <br /> 11 1.
