At the north end of Hawaiʻi Island, the district of Kohala is the birthplace of Kamehameha, where he learned diplomacy and warfare, and launched his unification of the Hawaiian Islands. It is also home to one of the oldest heiau (temples) in Hawaiʻi.
Kohala. Puʻukohola. Moʻokini. Kokoiki. What do these names have to do with Hawaiʻi Island? In this one hour session, Hiʻilani Shibata will take you on a huakaʻi (journey) around the cultural sites of Kohala, Hawaiʻi Island where we will learn the cultural stories and history of some of the most beloved, visited, and sometimes misrepresented wahi pana (storied places).
