Sarah Kale Kaniʻaulono Davis (1797–1867) was a Hawaiian high chiefess, being the hapa haole daughter of Isaac Davis, the Welsh advisor of Kamehameha I, who helped him unify the island in 1810.


She was named after her aunt, who lived in London.[1] Nicknamed Sara or Sally, her Hawaiianized name was Kale.

Knowing that no one in the islands would be as likely as Miss Lucy Peabody to know any traditions existing here in regard to John Young, I sought an interview with her. I was shown in the first place, a letter addressed to "Isaac Davis, at Owhyhee, Sandwich Islands." It was dated, "London, May 2, 1799." The letter was from the sister of Isaac Davis and was signed, "Sarah Davis." It stated there was joy at hearing news of Isaac, saying they thought he was lost until Captain Vancouver advertised in the papers that "Isaac Davis of Milford Haven, and John Young of Liverpool, are on the Island of Owhyhee." There is nothing in the paper to indicate that Sarah Davis knew John Young or anything about his relatives. It drew my attention, however, to a note made by me in Plymouth, Massachusetts,

She was the wife of James Kānehoa.[2] Marriages and children.[3]
