Pu`uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park
Places
 

Hale o Keawe stands prominently in the pu'uhonua, protected by several watchful ki’i (wooden images of the gods), alerting visitors this is a special and important place. Surrounding the pu'uhonua are the royal grounds, the area once exclusively reserved for use by the chiefs and their court. The neighboring Ki’ilae village offers a glimpse into Hawaii’s past and the changes that came to Hawaii after the arrival of Europeans.

Did You Know?
Did you know the game of Konane is similar to checkers in the way the game pieces are moved, but is similar to chess in that the person who makes the last move wins the game? Chiefs would sometimes settle disputes by playing this game.
