Volunteers, including haumāna from the Kilohana ‘Ewa program held this summer, work throughout the year to revitalize Pu‘uokapolei, which functioned as a landmark for travelers and a place of solar observation in determining the seasons.

Bring the ‘ohana, and join Kamehameha Schools for a Warrior Community Workday in ‘Ewa on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Pu‘uokapolei in the Honouliuli ahupua‘a. The cost is just $5 and includes snacks and a lunch (be sure to bring water, sunscreen and a hat!).
Pu‘uokapolei was home to the largest and most sacred heiau in the Honouliuli ahupua‘a. It was a place of governance and was also home to Kamaunuaniho, who served as konohiki of the area. Pu‘uokapolei functioned as a landmark for travelers and a place of solar observation in determining the seasons, and the community work day will bolster efforts to revitalize the area.
