I have seen this place since the time of Poki to February. 1848 when Hamea died. The parents died too and they are survived by Kuiaia to this day. I believe this interest is for G.D. Kuiaia, a land bequested by his parents, just as Hamea had requested of Holua and Nihonui in that they should take care of the land for Kuiaia, their nephew. This claim by Nihonui in this interest is purely nonsense and they have been disobedient to the wishes of Hamea. They should have filed a claim for Alewa, Kaolu and Apowale for he and his wife have been citizens of these places, instead of envining [?] Kuiaia's inherited claim. Nihonui has no clear title here, he is a brother-in-law and Holua, the wife of Nihonui, is only called a sister, she is not a member of a generation of grandparents or parents.
Postponed: Until later. (See page 162, G.D. Kuiaia) [See Award 78FL]
