Kaloko-HonokŌHau National Historical Park
Overview
Kaloko-HonokŌHau National Historical Park is managed by National Park Service and is located near Kailua Kona, Hawaii. To survive in a hot and arid environment the native Hawaiians (kanaka maoli) used ancient fishing skills, including the building of fishponds, and the knowledge of the location of precious fresh water (wai) that flows into the many brackish pools throughout the park. The spirit of the people (poe) and the knowledge of the elders (kupuna) created a tradition of respect and reverence for this area.
