M. ROY:For the record, you donÓt have enough map to show that youÓre <br />talking about KahaluÒu and the families that youÓre referring to <br />Phoehoe and other places like KahaluÒu -? <br />D. ROY:ThatÓs correct. <br />M. ROY:Which would confirm that the entire coastline is involved with the <br />families that heÓs mentioning now. Also, for the record, heÓs pointing, and just to clarify <br />for me that your belief that where Keakealaniwahine lived is where, to the best of your <br />ability -. <br />D. ROY:ThatÓs right. <br />M. ROY:To your knowledge, can you point to that again? <br />D. ROY:To my belief, she lived at PuÒu, right in this area. And itÓs, what <br />they call KeakealaniÓs residence, really, is the complex in which her living quarters and <br />other structures were developed. And, so, I cannot say for, with any degree of certainty <br />where exactly she lived, but this is the area in which her compound was situated. <br />M. ROY:Would you say that you base your belief on your understan <br />what PuÒu is in your mind? <br />D. ROY:Now that I know where PuÒu is, yes. I believe, my belief <br />on that. It is an area at one time which was contiguous and a part of the whole thing. <br />The road did not exist in that area and the trail went below that hill. And, so, it was in <br />line with this pond that goes at Haleokekupua and where the wave from the surfing, the <br />surfing wave run northwards, north of PuÒu, PuÒu which is in lin <br />downhill. <br />M. ROY:For the record, this is his testimony in, under Kaluaokalani. You <br />will find the words that he was just expressing delineated there <br />the writings of IÒI, you are stating that PuÒu was in keeping with all of these landmarks <br />that you just pointed out and, in fact, is the place that you believe was the important <br />location of or part of this residence. Correct? <br />D. ROY:After spending a lifetime looking for PuÒu, I am satisfied that this <br />was once the area in which it was located. And the AliÒi Drive <br />brought about by the County of Hawaii which very effectively deleted this lower portion <br />and disfigured this area so that PuÒu no longer is recognizable. And it is an extreme <br />satisfaction when I found out from IÒIÓs writing where PuÒu was. Since it was directly <br />written in that book and described to exist at the point in line with this spring, I being <br />very familiar with this area was able to recognize that. But previously I could never <br />identify the location of PuÒu by any of our State maps. <br />28 <br /> <br />
