Descendants with ties to a family grave site located within the pineapple fields of Kapalua will gather at the location during the upcoming 21st Annual Celebration of the Arts festival, to care for the site and pay tribute to their kupuna.The burial is that of Kale Kaniaulono Davis, a steward of the Honokahua land district in Kapalua seven generations ago. She was the daughter of the man who served as King Kamehameha's gunner at the battle of Keapniwai in `Iao Valley; and a descendant of Kihapi`ilani, who completed the ancient Alaloa Road around Maui. Sarah Davis (also Sally Adams) was called Kale, and her Hawaiian name was Kaniaulono. She married James Kanehoa Young, Captain Alexander Adams, Pahaaikaua, Kanekuapu'u, and Kaholokahiki. She had six children:Isaac Adams of Niu, `Uwaikikilani Halstead of Maui, Amelia Nakai Davis of Waikoloa, Mele Kuamo`o of Lahaina, Fanny, and James Kanehoa Young Davis of Honokahua. On Maui, descendants include the Mahoe family of Lahaina, Kaeo and Davis families of Moloka`i, and the Wilcox family of Waihe`e. The Adams family of O`ahu descends from Kale, as does the Davis family of West Hawai`i. For 150 years the Davis family grave was preserved by Maui Land and Pineapple Company, set off in a pineapple field by a white railfence and marked with one papaya tree. The grave itself was reserved from sale by the family in 1894, and remains the property of Davis family descendants.
