Portrait[edit]

Discussion about the identity of a portrait involves him, see commons:File talk:Young Kamehameha III.jpg#Identity.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Burial[edit]

Lauren Douglas mentions a neglected grave at Kawaiahao marked Richard Haalilio seen here, although I thought he was buried at the burial mound on the grounds of Iolani Palace where the Pohukaina Tomb used to stand. The other two person on it are Haalilio's brother and sister-in-law.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:10, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This [www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMXzV9j_V_U video] involving a sovereignty group cleaning the burial ground and chanting the names of those interred at the Pohukaina burial plot seems to state there are 31 people buried there including Haalilio.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:11, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hale Pohaku and Adoption by Kamehameha III's parents[edit]

Recent edits added that he attend school at Hale Pohaku and was adopted by Kamehameha III's parents (odd way to phrase it, do you mean Keopuolani and Kamehameha I?). Anyway, the edits credits it to the Kamakau but here is the index from Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii by Kamakau on Haʻalilio: Haʻalilio, Timothy, studies English, 248; accompanies Ka-ʻahu-manu, 298; accompanies Richards to Europe, dies in France, 367; appointed treasurer, 398. Nothing in Kamakau's writing refers to a Hale Pohaku or an adoption. User:Cloud the fox, can you point the specific source and page number that you are using to add this information? Mahalo.

Hawaiian spelling[edit]

The current text says that the Hawaiian spelling of Timothy is Timoteo which I found surprising since I thought Hawaiian uses K in words. Looking at the names of Polynesians living in Hawaii today a name with Ts is usually and indicator of the person being Samoan. RichardBond (talk) 14:45, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
