| Comments: | Cape mentioned by historian Moses Manu in a portion of the legend of Laukaieie published Nov. 16, 1894 in Nupepa Ka Oiaio: "A he nui a lehulehu wale na mana wai liilii ma keia aina o Kaupo, a mai loko mai o ke kumu o keia wai, ka wai e hu ala ma ka Paala ma ke kahakai o Punahoa, a ua huli hou aku la ke kamaeu no loko o ke kai a hiki ma ka lae o Kumukapele ma Hopilo." (There are many small streams in this area of Kaupo [Waikaia, in Manawainui Valley], and this is the source of the water that emerges at Paala at the shore of Punahoa. The hero [Makanikeoe] looked again in the sea until he arrived at the cape of Kumukapele at Hopilo.) |
