Happy Kamehameha day.
Today's 'tiser has much on the celebrations among which is an intriguing article wherein a Hawaiian Culture expert requests a recently found map of 1819 be looked into by the state Burials Council, as it claims the location of Tamehameha's burial place. (alternate archaic spelling)
Unlikely, as he died in 1819 and his remains were secreted away, in the deep dead dark of night and it is reported, reburied a few times after that.
I submit the remains of Kamehameha should not be turned into a treasure hunt to any degree.
The article also contains something of possible interest to Kilinahe, and others who feel spelling the word with an "r" instead of "l" is childish and infantile; the map also refers to "Kairua Bay". (Personally, I find history stimulating, and learning about it helps to break out of our ethnocentric views and limited perspective...)
