Note 67 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)

Reading edition

Here is another thing: Kekaa was the capital67 of Maui when Kaalaneo68 was reigning over West Maui. It is said that there were many people there. Many houses were constructed and the people cultivated a great deal of potatoes, bananas, sugar-cane, and other things of a like nature. From what I have been told that country from above Kekaa to Hahakea and Wahikuli, that country now covered with cactus in a northwesterly direction from Lahainaluna, was all cultivated; Kekaa became a city populated by a great many; this chief [Kaalaneo] also planted the breadfruit and kukui trees down at Lahaina.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
