Hui Kaha Pohaku

That is Hawaiian for "the group that maps the placement of stones". And that is who we are. We went on 9 field trips to the Kahalu'u area on the Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawaii and, together with Hawaiian Studies students and a local archaeologist, Keone Kalawe, we used plane tables to map the ruins of several Hawaiian structures. We did this as this first step in the eventual restoration of these structures. We feel that this is extremely important work and we would like to share some of our experiences and insights with you. Mahalo.







Our Places








Ke'eku Heiau and Hapai Ali'i Heiau - both mapped and restored within the last 2 or 3 years.


























This year the Kane mapped Pao Umi Heiau. What will it look like next year?




















And the Wahine mapped the walls of Keikiho'okama Heiau. Will it be restored as well?




















We loved our outdoor classroom, Halau 'ike. Hey, its a lot better than sitting in a room all day. We learned so much and we took copious notes.



















We went down to the Kai to chant at the beginning and at the end of each field trip
