No. 8241, Ioane Ii, Honolulu, February 1, 1848
N.R. 512-517v5

Greetings to the Land Commissioners: I hereby state my claim for land, on Oahu only. An ahupua`a, Waipio, Ewa, is from the mountain to the sea, however, there are no ku lands situated within it because of the Mo`i - that is up to the Mo`i. The ones with the right to live there are listed below.

[No.] 2. Pawaa is the second of my lands on Oahu. It is at Waikiki, next to G.L. Kapeau, at Pawaa. This `Ili was gotten after the /Battle of/ Nuuanu by my makuas, from Kamehameha I, and these lands and other lands on other islands are held. The reason they, and I, got them, was by the actions of Kamehameha I and Kamehameha II, but they have been divided at this time and separated by the Government and the Mo`i -- nine lands for them and two for me. Below are the names of the people living on this land.

[No.] 3. A small lot claim, in Honolulu, is leased to Dr. Epener and Dr. Rooke; perhaps Samisona has the occupancy at this time for the remaining years. My retainers lived there in 1837 and in 1841, perhaps, it was leased as aforesaid.

Here are the names of the people living on the land of Waipio in Ewa:
Name of the Man, Mo`o, Lo`i, House lot, House(s), Children
Ulakaipo, 1 Mo`o, 1 Lo`i, 1 House lot, 1 House(s), 3 Children

.... ment, therefore, two thirds only remain to us and the people. The explanation is in the Mahele Book.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant.

F.T. 554v3
No. 8241, Ioane Ii

Keekapu, sworn, says she knows the Kuleana of Ii in "Kalawahine." Honolulu Aina. It consists of some Kalo patches in one piece with a small piece of kula adjoining.

It is bounded:
Mauka by the land of Kaauhauhula
On Waikiki side by a stream
Makai by L. Haalilea & Kekuanaoa
On Ewa side by the land of Rosalie Marini.

Claimant received this land from his father, Kalimahauna, in the time of Kinau, and has held it ever since. There is not dispute to this claim.

Witness knows the House Lot in "Manamana" Honolulu, claim by Ii.

It is bounded:
Mauka by Ala Beretane
On Waikiki side by Kaluahinenui's lot
Makai by Kalaiheana & Pahana's lots
Ewa side by Hinau's lot.

This lot was anciently a waste place and was taken up by claimant in the time of Kinau & he has held possession of it ever since, without dispute.

K. Kapaakea, sworn, says he knows this house lot, and confirms in full the testimony given by Keekapu.
