Kanikauwepa / Kanikauepa
[Found in G. K. Keawehaku’s “Kuu Kamaaina i ka Ua Kukala Hale”]
Kanikauwepa [Crack of the Whip].–An ohai tree that grew before the place that Haleakala stood was called by this name, on the north-east side of Kinau Gate (the Richards Street gate) [of Iolani Palace]; and under this tree soldiers who broke the rules of the military were whipped. And that is how it got its name.

Present were the descendants of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua lines that night, so too were some kamaaina possessing deep knowledge of the history of the Hawaiian lahui to satisfy what these malihini desired. Continue reading
