Big Island Hawaii. Part 48. Puakõ Petroglyphs.
January 2010. Music by: Skalpel.
Ancient Hawaiians called their stone art k'ii pohaku, or images in stone. The k'ii pohaku are petroglyphs, which comes from the greek words, petros for rock, and glyphein to carve. This rock art provides a unique look into the past, but questions can only be answered by speculation, for there is almost no historic evidence of the petroglyphs origin in Hawaii. Although the age of Hawaiis images is not known, a chronology of style can be discerned. The earliest were simple stick figures, while the figures with triangular torsos, which are only found in Hawaii, came later. Others that show carvings of horses and cattle were obviously carved after Westerners appeared in Hawaii. The island of Hawaii has the greatest number of petroglyphs in the state, and areas of concentration are almost always found on the smooth pãhoehoe lava, cliff faces, or smooth interior walls, on the dry and lava inundated areas of the island, and along trails known to the ancient Hawaiians.
Puako Petroplyphs
An area of large concentration is the Puakõ Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve, located just north of the Mauna Lani Resort. About 1,200 petroglyphs are in the section through which access is allowed. There are also petroglyphs scattered throughout the Mauna Lani Resort. The Muana Lani Hotel has a brochure and map and offers guided tours on the property with a Hawaiian historian. The largest concentration of petroglyphs in the Pacific lies within the 233-acre Puako Petroglyph Archaeological District. The 1 1/2-mile Malama Trail starts north of Mauna Lani Resort; take Highway 19 to the resort turnoff and drive toward the coast on North Kaniku Drive, which ends at a parking lot; the trailhead is marked by a sign and interpretive kiosk. Go in the early morning or late afternoon, when the temperature is cooler. A total of 3,000 designs have been identified, including paddlers, sails, marchers, dancers, and family groups, as well as dog, chicken, turtle, and deity symbols.

Waipi'o Valley lookout is in Waip'io, not Honoka'a (we used it as the nearest town as a point of geographic reference). Kiholo State Park is not in Kamuela, but in greater Kailua-Kona area. Punalu’u Black Sand Beach is not in Ninole, but Pahala*
***Apologies for the misspelling of Kamekameha.

Learn Hawaiian Place Names in 5 minutes-Big Island, Hawaii
In Hawaii English is spoken, but one encounters quite a few words in Hawaiian, especially place names. So the only problem I had was how to say the names of the places. They all looked and sounded practically the same to me. For each island, I found an authentic local person to teach me how to say the names of the major attractions. This is only a subset of the words, if you don't find the names you are looking for, after watching this video, I am sure you can derive it. This is because the language has only 13 letters with 5 vowels and 8 consonants.
This video is for the Big island. For Kauai Island, you may prefer this video:

A Royal Battle, A King Sacrificed: Ke'eku, Big Island Hawaii
On the grounds of the Keauhou Beach Hotel are the remains of a heiau that served as both a luakini heiau (place of human sacrifice) and pu'uhonua (place of refuge). Built by the Hawai'ian Ali'i Lonoikamakakahiki in the 16th century, Ke'eku Heiau is one of the most famous religious sites in the State of Hawai'i because of its veneration in folk tales involving the 16th century wars between the Hawai'i and the Maui. The Heiau has walls an impressive 6 to 11 feet thick, and measures 150 by 100 feet in area. There are two stone features on the heiau's raised stone platform said to represent the defeated Maui Ali'i' Kamalalawalu's black and white war dogs, Kapapako and Kauakahiok'oka.
Carved into the rock in the inter-tidal region in front of this heiau is an impressive set of ki'i pohaku (petroglyphs). Due to geological subsidence of the island over the past several hundred years, these petroglyphs are visible only at low tide, or by mask and snorkel. There is one large anthropomorphic petroglyph in particular that is said to represent the sacrificed Maui Ali'i, Kamalalawalu.
To reach Ke'eku Heiau, park either in the Kahalu'u Beach Park or at Keauhou Ohana Beach Resort. From Kahalu'u, walk onto the Keauhou Ohana Beach Resort property through the gateway in the fence between them and follow the asphalt path to the pool deck, through the lobby of the resort and join the paved path that runs along the end of the Resort driveway. From the Resort parking lot, walk up the drive to the paved path that runs along the end of the driveway. Following along this path, one passes Punawai Spring first, then, where the path runs around the end of the tennis courts the Mo'o Twins homesite. Continuing on the path until it ends at a broken concrete bridge among No Trespassing signs is Hapaial'i Heiau. To get to Ke'eku Heiau, one may take one's chances crossing the old concrete bridge, or one can walk on stones and wade across the tidepool at low tide (be very careful, the rocks are extremely slippery). Immediately at the south end of the bridge begin the walls and platforms of Ke'eku Heiau. Although in ruin and disarray, this Heiau is one of the most accessible and impressive temple sites in the immediate area. Remember that these are holy religious sites to modern native Hawai'ians; to not trespass, walk or climb on the temple proper; take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints.
Further Information: During 16th century, Lonoikamakakahiki, a Hawai'ian Ali'i, and Kamalalawalu, an Ali'i of the Maui, had numerous battles for possession of each other's island. It is said of the penultimate of these battles, when the Maui attacked the Hawai'i, the numbers of warriors was so vast that as the first of the Maui war canoes were landing on Hawai'i, the last of their canoes were just leaving Maui.
Lonoikamakakahiki had become enraged with Kamalalawalu during the course of this battle. The invading Maui had captured his leading general, gouged his eyes out and then had spears run through his eye sockets. Lonoikamakakahiki vowed a bloody revenge.
When Lonoikamakakahiki's army vanquished the Maui, he took Kamalalawalu over to the Ke'eku Heiau and sacrificed him alive to celebrate the great victory. The method of sacrifice was slow and graphic. Kamalalawalu was staked to the ground for several days, then taken to a nearby flat rock and butchered. The body was then towed to sea and fed to the sharks (some versions of the folktale have Kamalalawalu impaled on a pole for several days, before being butchered on the flat rock).
Hawai'ian folktales hold that Kamalalawalu brought with him into battle two large, fierce war dogs, a white one (Kapapako) and a black one (Kauakahiok'oka). The dogs are said to have lain down and died on the spot of Kamalalawalu's execution. Although buried beneath the heiau luakini platform, it is said that these dogs can still be seen roaming, and heard howling, in the night searching for their fallen master. Two stone features found on the makai side of the Ke'eku Heiau stone platform represent Kamalalawalu's two dogs.
Petroglyphs along the rocks, visible at low tide between Kahalu'u Beach Park and Keauhou O'hana Beach Resort, commemorate the sacrifice of Kamalalawalu by Lonoikamakakahiki. No Services.

Hawaii Imperiled Petroglyphs Documentation Project
These anthropomorphic figures and geometric designs are part of petroglyphs carved at the Puʽu Loa Petroglyph Site on the southern flank of Kīlauea Volcano, at Milepost 16.5 on the Chain of Craters Road. Pu`u Loa, which translates as the hill of long life, lies on an inland portion of an old Hawaiian trail, and is a place sacred to the people of Hawai`i. The site contains over 23,000 petroglyphs; images scratched, pecked, or ground into the surface of hardened lava. The primary carvings at the site are on and around the hill, actually a large pressure dome that rises above the adjacent fields of pāhoehoe lava.
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS SEAC), used 3D laser scanning, GPS, and specialized imaging to document these imperiled resources.
Holoholokai Beach Park, Big Island
This is not your typical picture-perfect white-sand beach. The rocky strip of coastline boasts something completely different.
3D Laser Scanning of a Hawaii Petroglyph Area
Because of the richness of its natural and cultural heritage, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, and an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980, by UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Program ( AIST in partnership with the National Park Service used 3D laser scanning and specialized imagery to document some of the 23,000 plus petroglyphs at the Puʽu Loa Petroglyph Site on the southern flank of Kīlauea Volcano.

Hawaii The Big Island | Travel | The Mady Traveller
The Big Island (officially named Hawaii) is the largest island in the United States' Hawaiian archipelago in the Central Pacific. Its diverse terrain spans colored-sand beaches at Papakolea (green) and Punalu’u (black) to lush rainforest. Within Volcanoes National Park, there are 2 active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Hapuna Beach and Kahalu'u Beach Park in the west are popular snorkeling sites.
The island’s lush, wet eastern side has rainforest, the port town of Hilo, Hawaii Tropical Botanic Garden and Akaka Falls State Park. Western conditions are dry. There, high-end resorts dot the Kohala Coast, and the Kona region is home to coffee plantations. To the north is Waimea cattle country, at the base of massive, dormant Mauna Kea, and remote Waipio Valley is a major hiking spot. Cultural sites include Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve, with lava-rock carvings, and Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau, a sacred burial ground and traditional place of refuge.
