ANCIENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE In the area of the canoe garden, you will notice structures made out of rock. These mark what are believed to be several ancient grave sites. Preliminary archaeological work has indicated that the forest behind this area may contain house sites, pits for cooking, and other cultural features. PI'ILANIHALE HEIAU This imposing structure is situated on the makai (seaward) portion of West Honomaele, district of Hana, island of Maui. This is the largest temple in all of Hawaii, which began construction in approximately 1200 AD. Today, the descendants of Kahanu have, with certain reservations, set aside as a National Historic Landmark the portion of the land upon which remains Pi’ilanihale. With the cooperation of the Hana Community Association, and through intensive archaeological investigations in the near future, the past history of Pi’ilanihale is unveiled to visitors. Pi'ilanihale is strategically situated to view ocean-going canoes many miles away. This would have allowed the people to spot visiting parties long before they arrived and determine whether they were friends or foes. WE ASK ALL OF OUR VISITORS TO HELP US RESPECT THIS UNIQUE SITE BY NOT ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB ONTO THE HEIAU. HO'OKUPU AREA A traditional practice among Hawaiians, when they visit a sacred site like Pi'ilanihale, is to bring ho'okupu (an offering). In general, a ho'okupu can consist of a prayer, a chant, or plant materials that are the kinolau (embodiments) of Hawaiian deities. A common practice that does not stem from Hawaiian tradition is to leave rocks wrapped in ki leaf as ho'okupu. We kindly ask visitors not to follow this misinformed practice. Because the social traditions associated with Pi'ilanihale are currently unknown, verbal and spiritual offerings are considered appropriate forms of ho'okupu. This portion of the North wall is a terraced retaining wall nearly fifty feet high and is engineered to withstand the pressure of hundreds of tons of rock behind it. From this viewpoint, you can see the well-defined terracing and stabilized stone work done during the restoration. HALE WA’A This hale is one of the largest traditional Hawaiian buildings on the islands. According to archaeological records, this is where the original canoe house was located. Providing shelter for fishing and other types of transportation vessels, this type of hale is very important to the Hawaiian community. For the Hale Wa'a you see here, local residents, student volunteers, and Kahanu Garden staff all came together to kūkulu (construct) this wonderful structure that will last for years to come. In ideal tradewind conditions, a double-hull Hawaiian canoe can sail from this area to the other side of Maui in just a few short hours! DO NOT VENTURE OUTSIDE OF THE COCONUT LOGS; THEY MARK THE BOUNDARY FOR THE SAFE WALKING ZONE. Being that Honoma'ele was a large fishing village, these stone walls that encase part of the coastal area were most likely used as a canoe landing and house sites. It is thought that this area housed Piilani's court back in the late 1500s. COASTAL GARDEN This area is where many endangered and rare native Hawaiian plants are located. The section also provides a vast perspective on the entire garden's features and will eventually lead you toward another fantastic ocean outlook. Though sometimes inconspicuous, many of these plants have survived in Hawaii for thousands of years before any human ever stepped foot on this land. Kahanu Garden as well as its parent organization, the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) is dedicated to preserving tropical plant diversity and stemming from this tide of extinction - through plant exploration, propagation, habitat restoration, scientific research, and education. NTBG's gardens and preserves are safe havens for at-risk species and cultural resources that otherwise might disappear forever. We can only continue our efforts through the generous donations from visitors like you. If you would like to donate to Kahanu Garden Or NTBG, please notify any staff members on-site, or call (808) 248-8912, or email [email protected]. 00:00 Kahanu Garden 00:10 Visitor Center 00:22 Canoe Garden 00:43 Pi'ilanihale 00:59 Hale Wa'a & Hoalua music: GKHVD0IJHZEBEDPG
