Queen Ka'ahumanu at 250, a 2018 Maui News feature, names Maui County historian Inez Ashdown's records, preserved by the Maui Historical Society, as the source for Ka'ahumanu's traditional birth site. Its strength is that it names a specific local historian and an institutional archive, more precise than general references that only agree she was born on Maui. Its limit is that it is a local newspaper feature relaying an institutional archive's record rather than the archive document itself, so the underlying Ashdown record would be the stronger citation if consulted directly.
