Choices...
Kamehameha Pai'ea, via his kapu messenger, K ī kane, delivered to M ō‘ī Kahekili, the white and black stone. Kamehameha Pai'ea, via his kapu wohi messenger, Chief Makoa, delivered to Ali'i Keawemauhili, again the white and black stone. Send back the white stone, and we can live in Peace.
