Book Description
A BRIEF FOREWARD BY KIMO ARMITAGE, PhD. Within these covers are narratives and interviews about Oahu that were collected as part of an assignment for Hawaiian Studies 362: Pana Oahu in the Fall of 2013. The intentions were important: to illustrate the relationships that we have to our geographies, to create a process by which students learn how to publish their own book, to add to the repository of knowledge that currently exists, and it creates a literary textbook that validates the experiences of our community. All cultures have the right to develop their own educational systems although historically, these systems have been denied to us. As we approach a new era in validating diverse knowledge systems, we must now explicate our cultural worldview within literary contexts even though externally generated definitions of Hawaiian indigeneity such as cultural stereotyping, authenticity, and agency are vexed terms that mire cultural fluidity. Art and literature, foundational courses in the Humanities, and previously subject to their own criteria, are now further influenced by indigenous Hawaiian frameworks such as genealogy, our connection to land, our connection to our elements, and our connection to our rituals. Our text offers a map towards reconciling cultural tension by unapologetically transmitting our own rituals in a way that is culturally sensitive and relevant. Each student participated in one of six groups: each group was responsible for a single moku, one of six land divisions that comprise Oahu. Students negotiated their own responsibilities within their group. Even though this text has gone through many edits, we expect that there will be typos. This is the first time that most, if not all, of the students in the class have ever been published. We embrace our mistakes as well as our triumphs because only then are we able to learn from them.

Book Description
Few regions of the United States can equal the high concentration of endangered ancient cultural sites found in Hawaii. Built by the indigenous people of the Islands, the sites range in age from two thousand to two hundred years old and in size and extent from large temple complexes serving the highest order of chiefs to modest family shrines. Today, many of these structures are threatened by their proximity to urban development. Sites are frequently vandalized or, worse, bulldozed to make way for hotels, golf courses, marinas, and other projects. The sixty heiau photographed and described in this volume are all located on Oahu, the island that has experienced by far the most development over the last two hundred years. These captivating images provide a compelling argument for the preservation of Hawaiian sacred places. The modest sites of the maka‘ainana (commoners) - small fishing, agricultural, craft, and family shrines - are given particular attention because they are often difficult to recognize and prone to vandalism and neglect. Also included are the portraits of twenty-eight Hawaiians who shared their knowledge with archaeologist J. Gilbert McAllister during his survey of Oahu in the 1930s. Without their contribution, the names and histories of many of the heiau would have been lost. The introductory text provides important contextual information about the definition and function of heiau, the history of the abolition of traditional Hawaiian religion, preservation issues, and guidelines for visiting heiau. With contributions by Kehaunani Cachola-Abad, J. Mikilani Ho, and Kawika Makanani.
