Where was she really buried at. In FindaGrave it say she is buried in Wailoa Cemetery in Lahaina, [[Maui] where many Maui chiefs were moved from their former burial place on Moku‘ula. But, it was said that Gerrit P. Judd, during 1843, used her coffin as a desk to write to the government of England complaining of Captain Paulet who had taken over the islands. Judd was in Honolulu on Oahu not at Lahaina on Maui. The coffin was located at Pohukaina, a coral house on the Iolani Palace grounds. Later all the royals and high chiefs at Pohukaina was moved to Mauna Ala. So, where is Kaahumanu buried in Wailoa or Mauna Ala? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.21.2 (talk) 03:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kaʻahumanu was not only the king's favorite wife but also the most powerful, as according to the indigenous Hawaiian religion she great amount of mana in her time [citation needed]. I never thought Kaahumanu had the most mana. I think it was Queen Keopuolani who was the most sacred consort, Kaahumanu was just the most ambitious. KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd agree. Kaahumanu was influential because she was not only Kamehameha's favorite wife but she was the daughter of a chief who helped Kamehameha united the islands as well as his mother being a cousin to Kaahumanu's maternal grandmother. Kaahumanu's father was also a 1st cousin to Kamehameha's mother. But Keopuolani was his sacred wife because of her kapu which she inherited from both parents actually.

The description in the article seems to paint a positive light on this incident which others would equate with an unequal treaty imposed on Kaahumanu and the chief by a disgruntle American naval officer who wanted his fellow countrymen's money back and be given special privelege in Hawaii; the only difference in these treaties and the Chinese unequal treaties of the time is that land wasn't given away. And one more thing John Quincy Adams had no part in the treaty and it fails to mention the actual American that signed the document Thomas ap Catesby Jones.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 10:38, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
