Ancient sites of Maui, Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi : archaeological places of interest in the Hawaiian Islands

Van James
This informative and easy-to-follow guidebook puts the ancient sites of Maui, Molokai and Lanai within the reach of the general public for the first time. Grouping the sites by location, Ancient Sites characterizes the cultural background of five main types of sites: heiau (temples), pohaku (sacred stones), petroglyphs (rock art), caves, and fishponds. An introduction by Kahu Kapiiohookalani Lyons Naone, Hawaiian culture authority and medical practitioner from Maui, describes the Hawaiian relationship to and the spiritual significance of place, thus setting an appropriate context for a visit to ancient sites
