Legendary Places in Honolulu
BY Rev. W. o. Westervelt.

no-lulu were several very interesting
places.
Kewalo was the place where the
Kauwa, very low class of servants,
were drowned by holding their heads
under water according to the law
known as -kai-he- hee" Kewalo
was also the nesting ground of the
owl who was the cause of the battle
between the owls and the King KakU-
hikewa, wherein the owls from Kauai
to Hawaii gathered together and de-
feated the forces rcf the king.
Ula-kua was the place where idols
were made. This was near the lum-
Der yards at the foot of the present
Richards street.
Ke-kau- kutui was close to Ula-kua,
and was the place where small kona-
ne (checker) boards we're laid. These
were fiat stones with rows of little
holes in which a game was played vita
black and white stones. Here Mama
la and Ouha drank ava and played ko-
name. Here also Kekuanoa, father of
Kamehameha ", built his home.
In "HonO- kau- pu' was one of the no.
ted places for rolling the flat-sided
stone disc known as the "maika"
stone. This was not far from Richards
and Queen streets, although the great
"Ulu-maika" place for the gathering
of the chiefs was in "Kou."
"Ka-ua-nono- Ia" the rain with the
red rainbow" was the place in this dis
trict for the 'wai-lua," or ghosts, to
gather for their nightly games and
sports. Under the shadows of the
trees, near the present Hawaiian
Board rooms at the junction of Alakea
and Merchant streets, these ghosts
made night a source of dread to all
the people.
Another place in Honolulu for the
gathering of ghosts was at the corner
of King and Nuuanu.
Nuuanu Valley inland from Kou was
full of interesting legendary places.
The most interesting, however, is the
little valley made by mountain spur
pushing it's way out from the Kalihi
foothills into the larger valley, and
bearing the name "Waolani," the will
derness home of the gods, and now
the home of HOnolulu's Country Club
This region belonged to the "eepa"
npnnIn oil 10
as ill-shaped, deformed or injured
gnomes of European fairy tales. And
yet in this beautiful little valley which
opened into Nuuanu Valley was the
heiau valiant built for Ka-hanai-a-
Ike Akua. "The chief brought up by the
gods" long before the days of Kaku-
hihewa. 1t was said that the two di-
vine caretakers of this chief were Ka-
hano and Newa, and that Kahano was
the god who lay down on the ocean
stretching out his hands until one rest
ed on Kahiki (Tahiti OF some other
foreign land) and the other rested on
Oahu. Over his arms as a great
bridge walked the "Menehune," or fai-
ry people, to Oahu. They came to be
servants for this young chief who was
in the care of the gods. They built
fish ponds and temples. They lived in
Manoa Valley and on Punchbowl Hill
"Ku-leo-nui" (Ku with the loud voiceJ
was their master. He could call them
any evening. His voice was heard
once and almost invariably finished
each task before the rays of the ris-
ing sun drove them to their hidden
resorts in forest or wilderness.
Wao-lahi heiau was the place where
the noted legendary musical shell,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-01-28

Honolulu is name made by the
union Of the two words Homo and lulu.
Mr.. Curtis J. Lyons says IL means
sheltered Hollow" MIR. George Al
noa, an old Hawaiian, says that "Ho-
no" means abundance" and lulu
means calm" or peace or "abund-
ance of peace" The navigator who
gave the definition Fair Haven was
out of the way inasmuch as the name
does not belong to a harbor, but to
district having abundant calm"
Honolulu, however, was probably
name given to very rich district of
taro land and fish ponds near what is
now known as the junction of Liliha
and School streets, because its chief
was Honolulu, one of the high chiefs
of the time of Kakuhihewa, according
to the legends. Kamakau, the Ha-
waiian historian, describes old Homo
lulu thus: Honolulu was a small
district, a pleasant land looking to-
ward the west,-a fat land with flow
ing streams and springs of water,
abundant water for taro patches. Mists
resting inland breathing softly on the
flowers of the hala."
Kakuhihewa was a king of Oahu in
the long, long ago and was so noted
that for centuries the island Oahu has
been named after him-The Oahu of
Kakuhihewa. He divided the island
among his favorite chiefs and officers,
who gave their names to the places
received by them from the king. Thus
what is now known as Honolulu was
until the time of Kamehameha l al
most always mentioned as "Kou" aft
er the chief Kou, who was an Tia
muku, or Marshal" under the king
Kakuhihewa. "Kou" appears to have
been a small district or, rather, a
chiefs group of houses and grounds,
loosely defined as lying between Hotel
street and the sea and between Nuu-
anu avenue and Alakea street.
Kapalama was the very tabu home
of chiefess of the time of this king,
whose name was Kapalama.
Pu-o Waina, Or Punchbowl, as the
native name means, was hill of sac
Tifice" or offering" Kamakau, a ma
tive historian of nearly fifty years ago,
says: Formerly there was an 'umu-
ahi,' fire oven, for burning men on
this hill. Chiefs and common people
were burned as sacrifices in that noted
place. Men were brought for sacrifice
from Kauai, Oahu, and Maui but not
from Hawaii. People could be burned
in this place for violating the tabus of
the tabu divine chiefs"
Part of an ancient chant concern
ing "Punchbowl" reads as follows:
20 the raging tabu fire of Keaka,
o the high ascending fire of the
sacrifice!
Tabu fire scattered ashes.
Tabu fire spreading heat"
The great stone on the top of Punch
bowl hill was "the place for burning
men,"
Ke-kai, Bamala was the name OF
the surf which came in the outer en-
trance of the first Honolulu harbor.
Mamala was a chiefess who loved TO
play Konane (Hawaiian checkers),
drink ava, and ride the surf Her
first husband was the shark man Gu
ha, who later became a shark god, liv-
ing outside the reefs of Waikiki and
Koko Head. Her second husband was
the chief of Homo kau-pu, to whom the
King gave the land east of the land of
Kou. This land afterward bore the
name of it's chief, Hono-kaupu. IN

which IL was stolen by Kapuni and
carried TO its historic home In Wal.
Pic Valley. Hawaii Below Waolani,
cihc Heights, the menehunes built the
temple "Ka-he-iki' for the child nour-
ished by the gods, and here the priest
and prophet lived who founded the
priest-clan called "Mo-o-kahuna," one
of the most sacred clans of the an
cient Hawaiians. Not far from this
temple was the scene for the dramatic
plea of an owl for her eggs when ia
ken from Kewalo by a man who had
found her nest. This is part of the
story of the battle of the owls and the
king.
Nearer the bank of the Nuuanu
stream was the great breadfruit tree
into which a woman took her hus-
band by magic power when he was
about to be slain and offered as sacri-
flee to the gods. This tree became
one of the most powerful wooden gods
of the Hawaiians, being preserved
think, even to the times of Kameha-
meha l.
At the foot of Nuuanu Valley is
"Pu-iwa," a place by the side of the
Nuuanu stream. Here a father, Mai
koha, told his daughters to bury his
body, that from it might come the
"Wauke" trees, from which kapa-cloth
has been pounded ever since.
From this place, the legend says
the Wanke trees spread over all the
islands.
In the bed over which the Nuuanu
waters pour is the legendary stone
called The Canoe of the Dragon"
This lies among the boulders in the
stream not far from the old Kaumaka-
pill Church premises.
In Nuuanu Valley was the fierce
conflict between Kawelo, the strong
man from Kauai, assisted by two
friends, and band of robbers. In
this battle torn-up trees figured as
mighty war-clubs.
border Kou, the ancient Honolulu. Be-
side these are many more spots of
great interest. In Kou itself was the
noted Pakaka temple. This temple
was standing on the western side of
the foot of Fort street long after the
fort was built, after which the street
was named 1t was just below the
fort Pakaka was owned by Kinau,
the mother of Kamehameha V. 1t was
a heiau built before the time of Ka-
kuhihewa. In this temple the school
of the priests of Oahu had its head
quarters for centuries. The walls of
the temple were adorned all around
with heads of men offered in sacrifice.
Kou was probably the most noted
"konane" place on Oahu. There was a
famous large stone almost opposite the
site of the temple. Here the chiefs
gathered for many game. Property
and even lives were freely gambled
away. The Spreckels building covers
the site of this famous gambling re-
sort.
One of the finest "Ulu-maika" places
on the islands was the one belonging
to Kou. This was a hard, smooth
track about twelve feet wide extend
ing from the corner on Merchant and
Fort streets now occupied by the
Bank of Hawaii along the seward
side of Merchant street to the place
beyond Nuuanu avenue known as the
old iron works at Ula-ko-heo.

Silent LAWYERS,

lawyer; today the great lawer is the
silent one Then bar regulations were
made literally at the bar. Today they
are made In the offices of the sky
