One area where they expanded to was Kaupō located in southeastern Maui, west of the Kīpahulu district of the park. This area of the park is where a large portion of my field work has been conducted. The sites I have been documenting showcase the brilliance of traditional Hawaiian practices. One technique that has been documented at Haleakalā, is the use of the natural landscape as agricultural features. This includes topographic features such as slopes and gulches, where the agricultural terraces would be built into. This method allows for a greater accumulation of rainwater, which was especially important in drier regions of Maui.
