It is a very beautiful sight with fresh clear water, and some of the main attraction is the large stone ruins on the island ,Halulu Heiau, and its resourceful fishing area and the sight.

They have recently established interpretative trials to guide visitors through the ruins. The Halulu Heiau stands on cliff edges and the stone walls are built on the westerns and western sides. Many people say that the temple might have functioned as a Luakini. Luakini is Native Hawaiian sacred place where human and animal blood sacrifices were offered. It is said to have held ceremonies from 1778 to 1810. At the west of Halulu Heiau was notch in the lava ridge known as the “Kahekili's Leap”. Kahekili was the ruling chief of Mau and the arch rival of Kamehameha and is said to believe that Kamehana made his warriors leap this notch and plunge into the sea below as a test of their courage. There is another location located at the Eastern side, Kanolou Gulch which is known as kealia kauai and there were numerous habitation complexes, consisting of dwelling platform and terraces, walled enclosures, and other
The Great Mahele was a land division in 1848 which created a massive alteration towards Hawaiians’ society. The Mahele was enacted because King Kamehameha III, influenced by foreign advisors, wanted to prevent a brutal and hostile takeover from the foreigners. Another purpose of the Mahele was to grant Hawaiians an ample amount of land. The Mahele did not serve its full purpose. Violence between foreigners and Hawaiians was avoided, but the majority of the land was lost to foreigners (Cachola). The Mahele did not benefit the Hawaiians because only foreigners had sufficient money to purchase the land and because the land that was given to the Hawaiians had limited resources (Menton and Tamura 116).

Inyan, the first being, created the Earth from itself. Earth was lonely, so Inyan created the sun, the moon, and the stars from itself for the Earth. Then, the Earth complained that it was uncomfortable without a covering and was given a covering in exchange for keeping life upon itself. After a long time, Earth became angry at life, and decided to cleanse itself. It shook so hard that its land split into pieces. After an even longer time, Earth became angry again, but let the life that was good hide within it, and it covered itself in ice. When the ice melted, many lakes and rivers formed. Iktomi (spider trickster) heard the life within the Earth and brought a young man to the surface and showed him the greatest parts of the world, being careful
In 1969, the Cuyahoga River (in Cleveland, Ohio) caught on fire because it was “polluted from decades of industrial waste.” Furthermore, after the river set on fire for the final time, the government of Cleveland stepped in to stop the factories’ water runoff into the river. They no longer allowed the factories to have overflow into the river, Although the main problem was fixed for the present, another problem was creeping up: runoff from large industrial farms. Pollution is a serious matter, because if our world gets polluted, it will no longer be safe or healthy to live. The way people eat has a big part in pollution. If they eat locally, or at least try to, they can help cut down on out pollution. The method of Local Sustainable farming
It was my first semester at West Hawaii Community College in Dr. Stevens’ world history class when I discovered the suffering state of our native lowland dry forests and the endemic tree species disappearing within them. Human interaction is the source of this degradation, so I took it as a moral obligation to work strenuously toward its revival. As a class, we were told that the land surrounding our campus at Palamanui was once teeming with the endemic lama tree, hence the name ‘Palamanui’. With very few lama trees that can be spotted from the college, members of the community, along with students at our campus came together to create a trail connecting these remaining trees.

Kamehameha had the advantage, because he had Western armaments and sailors who knew how to use them, and he slaughtered so many of the Maui warriors that the Iao stream was clogged with their bodies. Hence the name "Kepaniwai," which means the "damming of the waters." Kamehameha went on to conquer all the Islands and unite them into one kingdom. Buildings scattered around the park are designed in the styles of various ethnic groups that have immigrated to Hawaii since Kamehameha's
The Polynesian peoples have a lifestyle quite different than that of any other culture, as living on an island requires a level of flexible adaptability in order to cope with such a different, sometimes difficult environment. We see the way diverse cultures build their lives around their circumstances and how they respect them in their cultural myths and stories. The Polynesian legends emphasize the physical environment that they live in. They are quite different than any other region in the world, but the beauty and individuality of the Polynesian culture is prominent as seen in their mythology.
