GIFFIN:Yes. <br />M. ROY:Mr. Roy, can you give your accounts now, particularly of <br />knowledge of the area that is cumulatively known as Kaluaokalani? <br />D. ROY:I know Kaluaokalani as the upper portion of the total area in that <br />complex. KeakealaniÓs complex is a good indicator. Keakealaniwahine Complex is in <br />this area and it is best, and is contiguous, originally, with Kamoa Point here, which is <br />probably formerly known as Kalae O Kamoa. And it is, while it i <br />ahupuaa of Kaumalumalu, there is a stone. I believe the name of this stone was PuÒuloa, <br />which marks the boundary between the Kaumalumalu and Hlualoa. And, actually, I <br />think the beginning of Kaluaokalani happened to be just before the bay comes into view <br />as you come down from Kailua. There used to a trail leading fro <br />KealakwaÒa on which the canoes were drawn down for final finish work a <br />And I believe in this area, when I was a child I was informed by the people that had the <br />land nearby which where they used to grow vegetables like cucumbers and watermelons <br />in the vicinity, and that would have been done by the Kobayashi family, at which time I <br />was informed that in their bulldozing work, they did unearth hum <br />size, not presently known. And that was in the vicinity here where they proposed to have <br />their growing of vegetables and watermelons. <br />M. ROY:Thank you. YouÓre talking about this area that is directly above <br />Keolonhihi, Kalae O Kamoa on the mauka side of Alii Drive? <br />D. ROY:Yes. I was given to understand that a large portion of that area was <br />bulldozed over in preparation for planting, in which they unearthed huge human bones, as <br />they reported to me was the size of a horse. <br />M. ROY:May I seek to elaborate the delineations that you spoke of for, say, <br />the beginning of Kaluaokalani. You mentioned a trail that went up to KealakwaÒa. <br />About where would that end at the sea at Alii Drive, that trail? <br />D. ROY:That would have ended at the beach. <br />M. ROY:What location today? <br />D. ROY:It would be under the banyan tree area, right down to the <br />there. The heiau that is formerly at the beach is no longer there. <br />M. ROY:Do you know the name of that heiau? <br />D. ROY:No, I was not given that name by the informant. But all I was told <br />was that heiau was used to finish up the canoes that came down from KealakwaÒa. <br />14 <br /> <br />
