Interesting, interesting.
That’s how the name of that place.
Hmm, that’s what Palaika told you
Yes, Palaika.
Interesting. You know when you go down Pahua Koko then you get to Pu‘u Këke‘e right
Pu‘u Këke‘e on the right hand side.
On the right hand side. I’m going to just pull this map over a little bit, just to show that
area there [looking at Register Map 2786]. Here’s Waiki‘i, here’s the old road come
down, here’s Pu‘u Këke‘e on the right side a little further out, you get Pu‘u Kapele, yeah
Yes.
If you come along the old road, just what you were describing before there also, there’s
one of the little hills that in the old maps even in the 1850s, they call Pu‘u Koko. From this
area has a trail that goes out towards, one side goes to Kälawamauna or Ke‘ämoku.
Kälawamauna and out to Pu‘u Anahulu. Did you ever go on any of these trails
No, I never did.
You never did. You stopped in your time, you went from Waiki‘i, took pipi out to
Humu‘ula
Yes.
I’m just curious, when you were talking before about Waiki‘i and Ke‘ämoku. You had
shared, you look, like it has Pä Kila, but you’d mentioned like they have Small He‘ewai
Yes.
Or they get Mac Hill, Turkey Pen
Yes, Turkey Pen.
And you said, before families used to live up here, is that right
Waiki‘i, a lot of families. There used to be even a school up there.
There was a school too
Uh-hmm.
You know where the corn crib is now, the one that’s near the side of the road
Yes.
The school and the village was just across
When you pass the village now, you go up the hill where the stables are
Yes, the stable.
Yes, the stable, across the stable used to be the school. You can see one kumu pine.
That’s right, right by itself.
Yes. That’s where the school was.
Oh.
And now, below that, in the front and below, it was the homes for the people who stayed
there. The buildings, they brought them down and they have this place down in Waimea
called Waiki‘i Village.
