William was also known as William NAUKANA. During the period of time when the Hawaiians were coming to the West Coast of America it was common for their names to be spelled phonetically and since most of them who came prior to the establishment of surname laws in both Hawaii and the Northwest the documentation of these men is conflicting. So I hesitate to change the name on the memorial. He is descended from the Alii of the Hawaiian Islands. He worked for some time of his life for the Hudson Bay Company and finally settled on Salt Spring Island and contributed to the community there in a productive way.
