Not too many.
Not too much
No. Pänini loves the lower makai, warmer climate.
You know when we were with Jess Hannah the other week, he had mentioned that down
at Ke‘ämoku, did you ever hear that there were some old burials, somewhere down
below Ke‘ämoku
It could yes, because it was an out-post and in the early days people lived there.
Yes.
It was prior to the sheep up at Humu‘ula. Ke‘ämoku had a Sheep Station.
Yes, Francis Spencer.
Yes.
You’re right because he did, the Sheep Station at Ke‘ämoku. We see it referenced as
early as the 1860s.
It was quite an operation, you know.
Yes.
They had a beautiful…I really hated, you know. I was sorry to see that building torn down
and brought down.
At Ke‘ämoku
Yes, Ke‘ämoku house you know. It was an unusual, old style house with the verandah
right around the building.
Oh yes
Yes.
Oh. I don’t suppose you ever took a photograph of it
No.
Oh, Mr. Kimura, ‘Auwaiakeakua. You know the gulch and it’s down on the highway
Yes.
Do you know where it is mauka up here Was it ever pointed out to you
Well, we have…I don’t know the name of the gulch, the river. We have a gulch, Fence
Paddock up here, right up here by Number 7 and 8.
Yes.
It’s a big gulch.
There is a gulch up there.
We come across right on this road.
I see, there’s what looks like something of remnants of a little wash or something down
here [near the side of Pu‘u Mahaelua]. I was wondering, you didn’t call this area, you
didn’t have ‘Auwaiakeakua or anything over here, did you
No.
No. This is, what pu‘u is this
[thinking] This is Pä Kila, gee, I don’t know about the name… [thinking]
