The Walls of Kalaupapa


The Kalaupapa Peninsula is full of rock walls.

The original people built some of these walls, including a nearly complete ahupua`a boundary wall.

Other walls were built by residents of the Kalawao and Kalaupapa isolation settlements.

Walls defined spaces, marked boundaries, and kept animals in or kept animals out.

Enjoy the variety and detail of Kalaupapa's walls.
