## Ka Moʻolelo
Ua hele mua ka poʻe Hawaiʻi i Mokumanamana he mau haneli makahiki ma hope o ko lākou noho ʻana ma nā mokupuni nui o Hawaiʻi. Ma ka manaʻo o nā kilo kahiko, ʻaʻole hiki ke noho maʻamau ma ka mokupuni no ka lepo ʻino no ka mahiʻai ʻana, ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻāina, a me ke kākaʻikahi o ka ua. Ua kipa wale mai ka poʻe Hawaiʻi mai Nihoa mai a me nā mokupuni kokoke no ka hoʻomana ʻana ma nā heiau. Ua pau ko lākou kipa ʻana he mau haneli makahiki ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka poʻe haole, a i ka wā i hiki mua mai ai nā haole i Hawaiʻi i ke kenekulia 18, ua poina ʻia paha ʻo Mokumanamana e ka poʻe Hawaiʻi.

I ka makahiki 1786, ua ʻike mua ʻia ʻo Mokumanamana e ka mea hoʻokele waʻa Palani ʻo Jean-François de La Pérouse. Ua kapa ʻia ka inoa Pelekania ma muli o Jacques Necker, he luna kālā no ke Aliʻi Louis XVI o Palani.

He wahi pana kahiko kēia no ka poʻe Hawaiʻi. Ma ka noiʻi ʻana a Kenneth P. Emory a me nā mea noiʻi ʻē aʻe, aia ma ka mokupuni he 55 wahi kahiko i ʻike ʻia, me 33 heiau. ʻO ke ana ʻo Bowl Cave ka ana nui loa o ka mokupuni. Aia nō hoʻi kekahi mau wahi mahiʻai, nā kahua like ʻole, a me nā ana noho.

Ma ka moʻolelo o nā kūpuna o Kauaʻi, ʻo Mokumanamana ke kuleana hope loa o ka poʻe Menehune. Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ua hoʻāʻo ka poʻe Menehune ma Mokumanamana ma hope o ko lākou kipaku ʻia ʻana mai Kauaʻi aku e ka poʻe Polenesia ikaika. Na lākou i kūkulu i nā hale pōhaku like ʻole ma ka mokupuni.

## Nā Kiʻi Pōhaku

Ma ka noiʻi ʻana a Kekuewa Kikiloi, Kenneth P. Emory a me nā mea noiʻi ʻē aʻe, ua loaʻa nā kiʻi pōhaku kupaianaha ma Mokumanamana. He mau kiʻi liʻiliʻi kēia i kalai ʻia mai ka pōhaku mokupuni, me ke kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 1.5 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi. ʻOkoʻa kēia mau kiʻi mai nā kiʻi ʻē aʻe o Hawaiʻi - ua hana ʻia mai ka pōhaku ma mua o ka lāʻau e like me nā kiʻi ʻē aʻe o ka pae ʻāina.

Ua loaʻa pū kekahi mau ipu pōhaku a me nā mea lawaiʻa pōhaku. Hōʻike kēia mau mea i ka noʻeau kiʻekiʻe o ka poʻe kahiko i hoʻohana i ka mokupuni. ʻOiai he paʻakikī ka hana ʻana i nā mea pōhaku ma mua o ka hana lāʻau, ua koho ka poʻe kahiko e kalai i kēia mau mea mai ka pōhaku no kekahi kumu koʻikoʻi.

Ma ka huakaʻi noiʻi mua ʻana a John F.G. Stokes i ka makahiki 1913, ua loaʻa ʻelima kiʻi pōhaku. Ma ka huakaʻi hou ʻana a ka Tanager Expedition i ka makahiki 1924, ua loaʻa hou ʻia kekahi mau kiʻi pōhaku he 17. Aia kēia mau kiʻi i kēia manawa ma ka Bishop Museum. ʻO kekahi o nā mea kupaianaha loa ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi mākāhā i kalai ʻia mai ka pōhaku - he mea maʻamau ka hana ʻana i ia mea mai ka lāʻau.

He hōʻike kēia mau kiʻi o ke ʻano noho a hoʻomana kahiko o ka poʻe Hawaiʻi ma kēia mokupuni kapu. Ma ke kilo ʻana a Patrick Vinton Kirch, hōʻike ka lawena o nā kiʻi pōhaku i ke ʻano o ka hoʻomana ʻana ma nā heiau o Mokumanamana, kahi hoʻi i manaʻo ʻia he wahi kapu loa. Ma ka ʻikepili kahiko, ua kūlike pū kēia mau kiʻi me nā kiʻi pōhaku i loaʻa ma Tahiti a me nā mokupuni ʻē aʻe o Polynesia.

## Ka Pili ʻUhane
Ma ka manaʻo Hawaiʻi, he wahi kapu a hoʻāno ʻo Mokumanamana. Aia ma ka mokupuni he lālani pōhaku i hoʻonohonoho ʻia mai ka hikina a i ke komohana, e hōʻike ana i ke ala o ka lā. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, e huakaʻi ai kekahi poʻe Hawaiʻi i ka mokupuni no ka hoʻomana ʻana, ʻoi loa i ka wā o ka hoʻoilo a me ke kauwela.

Ma ka ʻike o Kikiloi, he wahi e pili ana i ka pō a me ke ao ʻo Mokumanamana, kahi e hui ai ke ao mālamalama me ka pō. No laila i kapa ʻia ai ka inoa "Moku-mana-mana" e hōʻike ana i ka mana o ka wahi.
