I remembered a little bit about Punchbowl—Puowaina—from my data search on the suborbital. Apparently, as the Ali'i had implied—it used to hold one mega-important place in the ancient Hawai'ian religion. It was up on Puowaina—Hill of Sacrifices—that the old Hawai'ians used to cack their human sacrifices to placate their gods. Who were those sacrifices? Volunteers? Criminals? Virgins bred specially for the task (what a fragging waste)? "Prisoners of war" from other islands? Search me, chummer. All I knew was that it came to an end with the haoles —the priests and missionaries and pineapple plutocrats—who moved in and "civilized" the place, of course.
