Naukane

He was either considered a member of the royal household of Kamehameha I or a chiefly retainer, possibly the same person as Noukana, the son of High Chief Kamanawa, the King's uncle and trusted advisor.

[1] King Kamehameha I appointed Naukane to join the group and look after the interests of Hawaiian laborers.

[2] On the voyage to Fort Astoria on the Columbia River, Naukane was given the name John Coxe, because he resembled a shipmate on the Tonquin.

[4] Soon Naukane was traveling east as well, crossing the continent to Fort William (today's Thunder Bay, Ontario) on Lake Superior.

[3] After the demise of the Pacific Fur Company during the War of 1812, Naukane returned to the Hawaiian Islands in 1815.
