THIS YEAR MARKS THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OFFICIAL STEWARDSHIP OF THE KEAUKUKUI'ULA HEIAU BY PUALANI ESTATES
Mahalo a nui loa (Thank you very much) to all who continue to kokua and mālama 'o ka`aina and ensure this historic cultural treasure will be here for generations to come.
About Us - This web site has been created to communicate the on-going progress and activities of the Keaukukui`ula heiau as it evolves into the future. It shares the heiau's historic significance, its use, and information relevant to the preservation of Hawaiian Culture.
Mission Statement: The Historic Preservation Site Committee (HPSC/Hui) seeks to manage, preserve, collect, and interpret the cultural resources of the Keaukukui`ula Heiau.
The Keaukukui`ula Heiau is located within the Pualani Estates at Kona subdivision, below the town of Holualoa. The historic cultural preservation plan was established between the State of Hawai`i, Hawai`i County, Pualani Estates of Kona, and residents of Hawai`i Island. Pualani Estates, as the Community Curatorship Organization, is proud to be a partner in the preservation of this sacred Hawaiian treasure. Without the agreement between the State and Community, Pualani Estates would not exist as it does today. The development surrounds the preservation land. We are one of a handful of developments on the Big Island to be fortunate--and privileged--to have an open-space heiau as well as a Hawaiian cultural treasure.
The heiau grounds (including its perimeter) is under on-going restoration. Access to the site may be requested by contacting the heiau's Hui. The site is off-limits to unauthorized persons. Violators are subject to Chapter 6E-11, Hawai`i Revised Statutes. Questions? Contact us.
Serge Kahili King explains what a Heiau is, why they are located where they are and some protocols around entering them.
