Talk:Maria Beckley Kahea

Lewis Clark
Around 1891, Kahea and Hawaiian musician Lizzie Alohikea co-composed the song Ahi Wela which consist of "poetry of passion, telling of sexual combustion that may result from the act of love" concerning her first husband Lewis Clark, a sea captain who abandoned her after she gave birth to her first two children, Leander and Violet, and sailed off into the horizon becoming like a star above the kumulani (horizon) as Israel Kamakawiwoʻole interpreted her thoughts in his medley recording pairing Ahi Wela with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Maria had Clark's identity blotted out from history until Huliheʻe Summer Palace docent James Kahea Beckley discovered their marriage license in the 1990's.

Removed all of the new addition about Lewis Clark until published sources can be provided. KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:06, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
