Few regions of the United States can equal the high concentration of endangered ancient cultural sites found in Hawaii. Built by the indigenous people of the Islands, the sites range in age from two thousand to two hundred years old and in size and extent from large temple complexes serving the highest order of chiefs to modest family shrines. Today, many of these structures are threatened by their proximity to urban development. Sites are frequently vandalized or, worse, bulldozed to make way for hotels, golf courses, marinas, and other projects. The sixty heiau photographed and described in this volume are all located on Oahu, the island that has experienced by far the most development over the last two hundred years. These captivating images provide a compelling argument for the preservation of Hawaiian sacred places. The modest sites of the maka‘ainana (commoners) - small fishing, agricultural, craft, and family shrines - are given particular attention because they are often difficult to recognize and prone to vandalism and neglect. Also included are the portraits of twenty-eight Hawaiians who shared their knowledge with archaeologist J. Gilbert McAllister during his survey of Oahu in the 1930s. Without their contribution, the names and histories of many of the heiau would have been lost. The introductory text provides important contextual information about the definition and function of heiau, the history of the abolition of traditional Hawaiian religion, preservation issues, and guidelines for visiting heiau. With contributions by Kehaunani Cachola-Abad, J. Mikilani Ho, and Kawika Makanani.

The organization of the papers within this text mirrors its authors' own spiritual journey. Learning about sacred spaces enabled each of us to make a connection to the landscapes of Oahu - for in knowledge is power. Some of us reached a point of enlightenment before others, depending on our experiences and learning styles. For others, it was a process; interviews and research helped to forge a relationship, and by the time we made a field visit, we were able to make a spiritual and fulfilling connection. The text that follows documents our academic endeavors, but more importantly, our development as responsible Hawaiians.

A BRIEF FOREWARD BY KIMO ARMITAGE, PhD. Within these covers are narratives and interviews about Oahu that were collected as part of an assignment for Hawaiian Studies 362: Pana Oahu in the Fall of 2013. The intentions were important: to illustrate the relationships that we have to our geographies, to create a process by which students learn how to publish their own book, to add to the repository of knowledge that currently exists, and it creates a literary textbook that validates the experiences of our community. All cultures have the right to develop their own educational systems although historically, these systems have been denied to us. As we approach a new era in validating diverse knowledge systems, we must now explicate our cultural worldview within literary contexts even though externally generated definitions of Hawaiian indigeneity such as cultural stereotyping, authenticity, and agency are vexed terms that mire cultural fluidity. Art and literature, foundational courses in the Humanities, and previously subject to their own criteria, are now further influenced by indigenous Hawaiian frameworks such as genealogy, our connection to land, our connection to our elements, and our connection to our rituals. Our text offers a map towards reconciling cultural tension by unapologetically transmitting our own rituals in a way that is culturally sensitive and relevant. Each student participated in one of six groups: each group was responsible for a single moku, one of six land divisions that comprise Oahu. Students negotiated their own responsibilities within their group. Even though this text has gone through many edits, we expect that there will be typos. This is the first time that most, if not all, of the students in the class have ever been published. We embrace our mistakes as well as our triumphs because only then are we able to learn from them.

Hawaiian legends figure greatly in the image of tropical paradise that has come to represent Hawai'i in popular imagination. But what are we buying into when we read these stories as texts in English-language translations? This is the question that Cristina Bacchilega poses in her examination of how stories labeled as Hawaiian "legends" have been adapted to produce a legendary Hawai'i primarily for non-Hawaiian readers or other audiences. With an understanding of tradition that foregrounds history and change, Bacchilega examines how, following the 1898 annexation of Hawai'i by the United States, the publication of Hawaiian legends in English delegitimized indigenous narratives and traditions and at the same time constructed them as representative of Hawaiian culture. Hawaiian mo'olelo were translated in popular and scholarly English-language publications to market a new cultural product: a space constructed primarily for Euro-Americans as something simultaneously exotic and primitive and beautiful and welcoming. To analyze this representation of Hawaiian traditions, place, and genre, Bacchilega focuses on translation across languages, cultures, and media; on photography, as the technology that contributed to the visual formation of a westernized image of Hawai'i; and on tourism as determining postannexation economic and ideological machinery. In a book with interdisciplinary appeal, Bacchilega demonstrates both how the myth of legendary Hawai'i emerged and how this vision can be unmade and reimagined.

Until now, long out of print." --The Honolulu Advertiser In bringing together this collection of Hawaiian legends, the author of this little book has conferred a great favor upon all those residents of Hawaii and of those visitors to its shores who pay take an interest in its original inhabitants, once an exceedingly numerous people, but now a scattering remnant only. To native Hawaiians this little book will be at once a joy and a sorrow; to the heart of the Haole, who has lived among them, known them intimately for thirty years or more and learned to love them, this collection of the legends of old Honolulu brings a warm "Aloha!"
