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.

Join KS for community workday in 'Ewa on Saturday

Nov. 1, 2018

Contributed by Thomas Yoshida

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.

For information, please contact Dancine Takahashi at (808) 534-3966 or email alumni@ksbe.edu.
