Waikaia

Feature:Undefined place
Comments:Place in Manawainui Valley mentioned by historian Moses Manu in a portion of the legend of Laukaieie published Nov. 16, 1894, in Nupepa Ka Oiaio: "Aia Makanikeoe ma keia pali kiekie launa ole mai, ua alu koke iho la oia a hiki pono malalo o ke kumu o ka pali a loaa aku la iaia ke kumu o ka wai ma lalo pono o ka puu o Ahulili a ua kahe mai kekahi mana wai uuku ahu ma Waiakea, a keia wai ka mea nona keia mau lalani mele hou a Pamano. 'E ka pilipiliula i ka la—e. I ula i ka la o Waikaia. Kaina'ku la oe i ke ahupuaa. Ua hue paha oe—a.'" (As Makanikeoe was on this towering cliff [at Kauhao ridge], he quickly descended to the bottom and found the source of the water directly beneath the hill of Ahulili. A small stream flowed at Waiakea, and this water was the subject of a new chant by Pamano. 'Pilipiliula grass in the sun. Red in the sun of Waikaia. Leading you to the ahupuaa. You are exposed.')
