To the Honorable Land Commissioners: I, G. Laanui, am a claimant of land at Kawailoa, in Waialua on Oahu. Kawailoa is the name of my land, from the upland to the sea, from that side to this side, and two 'ili at Paalaa, and six 'ili at Kamananui. The names of the 'ili at Paalaa are Laukihaa and Waikaalulu, and at Kamananui they are Kalehunui, Kamahu, Kalaopa, Kamahu 2, Kamahu 3 and Kuanopill. These are my 'ilis in these Lands. Two lands, however, are mea kai /fisherles/, Kalaopa and Kalehunui. The origin of my right to the land in Waialua is from my wahine, Kuaipiia, and I have become a genuine kama'aina of this place, as though native-born of several generations of ancestors. When Kekuaipiia dwelt in Waialua, Ukoa was her original 'ili and at Kamananul she had the 'ili of Kalopa, she had the two. Kaahumanu asked Keeaumoku for Lokoea and Keeaumoku consented, and Piia gave me Ukoa and Lokoea and Kalopa in Kamananui. Keeaumoku died in 1824, and then Kaahumanu gave Waialua to Piia, from cape to cape, however, she truly controlled Kawailoa from the sea to the mountain and from this side to that side, yet, lt had no ku. Piia said to me, "Your land is Kawailoa, from the sea to the mountain, and from that side to this side; there is no ku within it"
