Yes, since Niamo is so close to Naomi I think of a woman. Also every time I think someone is a man based on their posts I end up being wrong so now I just assume everyone is a woman.

Niamo is a hawaiian bird feather used in ceremonial bands.

I think it is by Teresa Kiplinger who is a poet and jewelry designer in memory of her son that passed away Adam Jeffrey Kahooilihala. (www.silverpoet.com) I feel she may have placed it at the monument in my previous post because their son was also tragically lost early in life.

No, I think it could be in Texas. Here is my guess: I used the poem "The Punishment of Pride" by Walt Whitman from the source The New World 3 (18 December 1841). While researching angels/seraph led me to the site www.silverpoet.com where the angel of grief by William Wetmore Story is the main picture. He was also a poet. From the cipher clues I have the word "son". An angel of grief memorial is on the gravesite of William Scott Youree, son, in Scottsville Cemetery in Scottsville, Texas. Using the 6, 64, 9, 6 I get "come placed below come". If anyone is near there could they take a look. I live too far away. I just linked that this is in tribute to love ones that have been lost. Teresa Kiplinger is a poet and a jewelry artist that makes memorial jewelry that you wear in honor of a loved one lost (www.silverpoet.com). Her step-son, who is Hawaiian, died suddenly as a teen. "An ahu-ula made only of niamo feathers was called an alaneo" from a book Hawaiian Antiquities (Moolelo Hawaii) online by Davida Malo. If you go to her website among her beautiful poetry is memorial jewelry with the skull design in the cipher. Also on that page of her website is the headstone carved by William Wetmore Story. When I searched for similar headstones in the south I came across several and started reading obituaries to find a connection. William Scott Youree was in Mexico when he unexpectedly died at a young age. His family buried him in the Scottsville Cemetery in Scottsville, Texas and placed an angel of grief memorial as his headstone. I know I can't go there to look, but if anyone in our group lives near there I thought it was maybe worth a look to see if it might be there.

Although this is an interesting theory, it isn't the solution. The numbers are to be used along with the source material. In other words, each number translates to a letter. It's going to spell out a message that is, what, 72 characters long, that tells you where the treasure is. Even if you're right about the poem, you still haven't translated the numbers into a message.
