Editing Kamehameha I (section)

===Concealment and childhood===
At the time of Kamehameha's birth, his father, [[Keōua]], along with his half-brother, [[Kalaniʻōpuʻu]], were serving [[Alapaʻi|Alapaʻinui]], ruler of the island of [[Hawaii (island)|Hawai’i]]; Alapaʻinui had brought the brothers to his court, after defeating both of their fathers in the civil war that followed the death of [[Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku]]. Keōua had died while Kamehameha was very young, thus the boy was raised in the court of his uncle, Kalaniʻōpuʻu.{{sfn|Kanahele|1986|page=10}} The traditional ''[[Mele (Hawaiian term)|mele]]'' chant of [[Keakamahana]] (chiefess and wife of Alapainui) mentions that Kamehameha was born in the month of ''ikuwā'' (autumn/winter), or around November;{{sfn|TRUSTEES|1937|page= 15}} Alapai gave the young Kamehameha to Keaka and her sister, Hākau, to raise, once the ruler discovered the infant had indeed survived.{{sfn|ʻĪʻī|1983|page=4}}{{sfn|Taylor|1922|page=79}}

On February 10, 1911, the [[Samuel Kamakau|Kamakau]] version was challenged by the oral history of the Kaha family, as published in newspaper articles also appearing in the ''Kuoko''. After Kamakau's history was published again (this time to a wider, English-reading public in 1911 Hawaii), the Kaha version of these events was published by [[Kamaka Stillman]], who had objected to the Nupepa article.<!-- No reference to Nupepa article; this is very hard for a new reader to follow -->{{sfn|Alexander|1912|pages=6-8}}
