Polnaya on Hitu and Hunut (probably originally transcribed from a taped
interview about 1965):

Hitu built the stone structures at Negeri Lama
during the Honimoa War.  That was before the arrival of the present people
of hunut.  When the people of Hitu returned,they left four tribes at
Negeri Lama to make Hitu Mesing great.  One was Marnila, and another was
Pelasula.  The others I don't remember.  These tribes were indigenous to
this place. The present inhabitants of Hunut are all immigrants from
Lease.

The Kakehan house was a shrine where old plates, swords, and
shields were placed.  They burned damar gum to their ancestors.  At that
time Yaba-hitu was king.  If you want that history, you should go and find
the Kepala Soa Yunus at Hitu.  Yunus Tomu.  He is now a "wakil
pemerintah."

The tembaga books have all been taken to Jakarta by the raja.
 These books include the writings of Raja-ali.  They brought them to
Jakarta to make history books.

If you want to know about the Maot war,
Tuan Yanus (Janus) would have been the one for you to talk to.  He was the
secretary of Ambon Raat.  Janus Van Aart.

I will tell you more at a
private meeting.

The guru jumaat of Paso comes here to ask about these
things.  He is also making a history of Ambon.  Hunut is the old village
of hitu.

In the history of Raja Ali is told of the aid given Hitu by Ternate.
 the kapatas tell also of Hoalmoal.

Wawane and Yaba were contemporaneous.
 There is a Mt. Wawane in back of Hitu.

Hitu Mesing borders Rumah-tiga and Paso.

Saidi is a kapitan of Hitu.  He
is kapitan of the "upacara adat."  He is of Nusahuhu.  I think he is now
living at Wanat, beyond Telaga Kodok, where there is the "mesjid."
