D. ROY:Yes. <br />M. ROY:Kapuanoni, Hapai AliÒi Heiau, also, at KahaluÒu? <br />D. ROY:Yes. I was privileged to cover that area particularly by close <br />relatives of the party of John, Henry Kekahuna and Napua, Naluahini Kaopua; and the <br />manÓs name in this case here was George Pinihaka Nelson, who was from Kohala and his <br />family was very well versed in the traditions of Kamehameha. <br />M. ROY:Similarly, did you work to restore Hikiau Heiau and KuÒemanu <br />Heiau? <br />D. ROY:My experiences in restorations of heiau extended to Hikiau several <br />times and that is at Hnaunau, I mean, NpÒopoÒo in Kealakekua Bay; and it also <br />extended to KuÒemanu Heiau, which was a surfing heiau. And my experiences also led <br />me KealakwaÒa, which was the heiau next to the present Outdoor Circle Center. <br />M. ROY:Did these locations also include Hale-O-Piilani in Hana? <br />D. ROY:Yes. Incidentally, the Hale-O-Piilani Heiau, strangely enough, is <br />overlooked by all of our writers in history and it does not appear in any of our literature; <br />and, yet, today we find out that it is the largest heiau in the Pacific. <br />M. ROY:May I move to change the maps here for a moment. Facing <br />map that, I might ask Mr. Vitousek, is this yours as well? <br />VITOUSEK:Yes. <br />M. ROY:Thank you. May I use this map that shows the coastline of the area <br />that we were talking about at Keolonhihi and Kamoa Point. And it shows particularly <br />the land area with ahupuaÒa lines, but not as detailed as others that weÓve seen. Is this a <br />part of our record? While we look to confirm whether this is part of our official record <br />here today -. Ms. Giffin, do I have to wait for that to proceed <br />VITOUSEK:I believe thatÓs Map Figure 6, from the Visual Impact A <br />which is a portion of Exhibit 1. <br />M. ROY:Thank you, Mr. Vitousek. Referring to this map, then, be <br />shows a broader area in this sense -. Dad, can you begin to speak about the land tenure in <br />this area? <br />D. ROY:In my experience, it takes me back to 1973 and before, at <br />when this area was held by one Mhele award under a person named, Loe, L-O-E. The <br />whole ahupuaÒa of Hlualoa 4th belonged to her and there were no subdivisions in there. <br />But at the end of 1973, the estate was probated and land-courted; and so the heirs to that <br />estate were all, all sold their interests over to Dillingham and Carlsmith in this area of <br />31 <br /> <br />
